Sit and watch our lives go pa**ing by
And remember things we did
And wonder why
[Verse 1]
It was kinda like a crazy dream happening in real life
Even when I first woke up something didn't feel right
Ice Cube, Today Was A Good Day, only the opposite
Anger in my body going past the tolerance
Where did it come from, where is it gonna go?
I didn't know, Me and Reese usually always get along
But this day was different
Everything happened too fast
All I know is when I came home
I could smell the tension in the air like an odor in despair
I was just joking but his stare it was serious
Next thing you know we throwing blows going delirious
Trying to black each other's eyes, what a surprise
Two best friends fighting
I can't even remember why
(?) that important to even let it decline
Its crazy how
The choices that you make can change your life in a single moment

I used to like this chick named Carla
She was fine I wanted to put this dick up on her
Everyday I used to make attempts to call her
But wouldn't give me no play, she was always stalled up
Always stalling, the same day we started talking
Yeah later that night
I ended up over her house ready for laying the pipe
I tried to get her naked but she couldn't take her pants off
She was on her period and couldn't take the pad off
God dammit
Was hoping for some future planning
But we never hooked up I couldn't understand it
What did I do, what did I say
To make this chick want to go and fly another way
Another day never came for us to be together
Its like a puzzle I can't piece together
Three years later I still fiend to get her
I can't help it, I'm a s**er for a nice petite
Light skinned freak with me in between the sheets
For real

Yo yo
I remember up in Jackson State
Chilling with the God, Young Slim, and my n***a Young Vincent
And my n***a Joe Christmas used to sit up on the plaza
Looking at some dope b**hes steady pa**ing me by
f** it, I blew the smoke from the black to the sky
And then I saw my n***a who be having the fattest of dimes
So I grabbed two of them and headed back to the crib
So I could bless my ice house swagger magnificent
And yo we got blown for a couple of hours
So f**ed up n***as was ready to throw in the towel
Then the time came to drop off Slim
I had to travel where out the bottom is
Where the coppers be tripping up off the power yo
I figured everything would be alright
I dropped my n***a off and disappeared into the night
I'm in my Kanye driving the speed limit
Glanced up in my rearview guess what I seen in it
State troopers, damn
