Chorus: Hey homie listen everything will be alright Just try to keep your head up high I know you done struggled through this life but We're goin' make it through this one day (x2) Verse: So many years of being piers and seeing tears shed between the two of us When me and you were just some youngsters who never knew that much You had a year on me, but we're still the same sign You came in 78' and I came in 79' My mama was like your mama, your mama was like mine All they knew was church, all we knew was to write rhymes Big dreams and little money schemes kept us going Through times when I was sportin' the same 3 pair of jeans mobbin' Block to block bus stop to bust stop Spittin' freestyles and trading off on beat box John Cobbs young Rob road dogs forever Way before the Jon Jon and Cleva I remember when you hooked up with this fly Filipino chick Who had an older sister who you wound up hooking me up with And everything was fine I was in the next room with her getting dome for the first time It was on. Just about to bust when her poppa came home Heard you holler, "come on" I was gone Zipping up while we're running up the street trying to get away Damn, I miss those better days Cause it seems that as we got older Every day that pa**ed seemed to get a little bit colder but hold up I'ma keep this head up over my shoulders In hopes to try to make it through for the both of us Chorus: Hey homie listen everything will be alright Just try to keep your head up high I know you done struggled through this life but We're goin' make it through this one day (x2) Verse: N---as are grown now, sh** is so different You got a wife and a family ain't no time to kick it 9-5 barely getting you by got you stressing Alcohol and nicotine helping deal with depression This is 12 years later, ain't much changed For the better suicidal thoughts stay on my brain Wrote a letter to the Almighty Told him on many days I swear He just don't like me. Cause this is cold sh** But if he let's me borrow tomorrow then I'ma take this Pain and sorrow turn it to muscle and hustle through this struggle No point to breathing if I ain't goin' live Can't complain if I haven't given all I can give Many days I look back to a time when life was just A rhyme and hood rats, wish I could push back The clock and make it lock from 94' to 95' Better days in this life for both you and I But the truth is we gotta strive through this Leave the past behind and try to accomplish new sh** My n---a, my dog, my ace My homeboy, my comrade for life Cause it seems that as we got older Every day that pa**ed seemed to get a little bit colder but hold up I'ma keep this head up over my shoulders In hopes to try to make it through for the both of us Chorus: Hey homie listen everything will be alright Just try to keep your head up high I know you done struggled through this life but We're goin' make it through this one day (x2)
