Lighter Shade Of Brown - Homies lyrics

Verse: 1 ( ODM ) Well you ask me what the definition of a homie is A friend till the end But some start when you're kids Little traviesos That are always into something Doing something bad Acting like they did nothing Well here's a little story about a homie named frankie Had another little homie That was down for hanky panky Sort of like Spanky and Alfalfa, Little Rascals Doing what they doing getting away without a ha**le Like going to the schoolyard for your late pa**es to cla** Cutting in lunch lines leaving other students last And strolling to the movies to see a rated "R" When mom's dropped them off it's where E.T. would be the star Stealing was an issue that just could not be ignored Taking tapes and 45's from the local record store Being good kids to them was nothing but bologna Cause this is what you do when it's you and your homies Chorus Verse: 2 ( DTTX ) My situation with my homies wasn't all fun Sometimes bad sometimes sad, but had to have one I wouldn't change it for a thing cause it's priceless Your homies are your down, yup! Can I get a righteous As kids, we saw and we did what most kids never did Took my first swig chilling at my homies crib Searching for ways, so that we could make presidents Life was hard beign a product of my residence But me beign the youngest, I had to stay strong Mom's was my teacher cause Pop's was already gone Hung out in the streets doing my own thing Living in the barrio, but I never g**ned Coming up was a must, growing up with who I grew up I found out just who I can trust Me, Myself, and I not fronting like a phony I'm true to the game and I'm down with my homies Chorus Verse: 3 ( ODM,DTTX ) You wanna be my homie well hey I'll tell you something Hanging with my crew doesn't really mean nothing Blabbing when I get all toured doing my songs You gonna want to kick it, well listen up here holmes It goes way back before you ever knew me I hung with my friends and not male groupies Just goes to show everybody where I'm coming from Hey yo! D' break em off something ( DTTX ) So many people wanna hang now that I'm in the rap game They say that they're down when they dont even know my name Well I could say that I have many friends But a homie is true, through and through until the end And ain't a damn thing changed We're still hanging in the hood and doing the same thangs Cause I ain't one to be a phony I'm still true to the game and I'm down with my homies Chorus
