Intro:
2
A homeboy is somebody that got your back
3
Whether you right or wrong
4
Somebody that excepts you for what you are
5
Not what you got on, what you can do for them
6
If you lucky enough to have some then
7
You know what I'm talkin bout
8
Verse 1:
9
Friends, how many of us have them
10
And not that many
11
The chances of meeting someone these days you can trust is skinny
12
But, it seems there really ain't a damn thing you can do
13
Cause since the seventies, it seems everybody been rolling with a crew
14
A team, a gang, a posse, or some type-a click
15
And if your firm ain't thick
16
Then your squad becomes vixed
17
Be extra careful or the ones you call your partna
18
Cause what they really is, is a busta out to rob ya
19
And, be weary of strangers bearing your God and gifts
20
And a wolf in sheeps clothing
21
Cause some of y'all ain't knowing
22
Me and you go back like roaches in the projects
23
And, we done been through things they still ain't even thought of yet
24
A good homie is hard to come by
25
But most times you get done by the ones you trust most
26
So, I gotta raise a toast
27
To my tried and tested, and straight up for real dose
28
Pour yourself some exol, this ones here for you, loc
29
Chorus: coolio, montell jordan
30
I don't fly on air, walk on water (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
31
Uh, but, I'm damn sure your partner (ooh-ooh-ooh)
32
You can count on me to the end (oh-yeah)
33
Thick and thin, nigga
34
You can call me homeboy (you can call me homeboy)
35
If I got a quarter, then you got a dime (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
36
And, you can call me up no matter what the time (ooh-ooh-ooh)
37
If you watch my back, then I'll watch yours, nigga
38
You can call me homeboy (call me homeboy)
39
Verse 2:
40
Now I done met a lot of haters in my lifetime
41
That I would of smoked if I would of had a tek 9
42
But, here I stand as a man, and I'm free to say
43
I'm hella glad that my momma didn't raise me that way
44
And the homies I grew up with
45
Locs I threw up with
46
Is the kind of fools that you don't want to buck with
47
Why does it seem that the good brothers die
48
And the evil brothers live
49
And prosper and multiply
50
Pass the hennessey to the left hand side
51
Want some many dirt for the homies that expired
52
I hope you rest in peace
53
And, when it's time for my release
54
I'll meet you at the crossroads dippin in the low-low
55
But, until then i'ma keep my rolls slow
56
My flow on tight, and stay rollin with the 4-0
57
This is comin from the one and only
58
And like mc shan said, "i'll never leave you lonely"
59
Chorus: coolio, montell jordan
60
I don't fly on air, walk on water (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
61
But, I'm damn sure your partner (ooh-ooh-ooh)
62
You can count on me to the end (oh-yeah)
63
Thick and thin, nigga
64
You can call me homeboy (you can call me homeboy)
65
If I got a quarter then you got a dime (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
66
And, you can call me up no matter what the time (ooh-ooh-ooh)

68
You can call me homeboy (call me homeboy)
69
Verse 3:
70
Me and you is like family
71
And everybody know that we go back to back
72
And we go toe to toe
73
Comin from the west
74
Where the sets run thick
75
Where brothers either bang or try to make a grip
76
I cross my heart and hope to die
77
I never lie
78
I run out on mine
79
Anywhere or anytime
80
Me and my homies don't get involved with that he say, she say
81
But, if you've lost you'll recieve a ass whippin with your instant replay
82
Or, deckin like tekken
83
So, show some respect when respect is given to you
84
And, watch out for the forty too
85
Fake curve
86
And fools who got the nerve
87
To pretend that they was down
88
When last month they wadn't even around
89
West coast, east coast, and worldwide
90
My homies in the pen, and my homies that lived and died
91
I'm still the same little nappy head brother from the eastside
92
And, you can call me homeboy
93
Chorus: coolio, montell jordan
94
I don't fly on air or walk on water (or walk on water, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
95
But, I'm damn sure your partner (ooh-ooh-ooh)
96
You can count on me to the end (oh-yeah)
97
Thick and thin, nigga
98
You can call me homeboy (you can call me homeboy)
99
If I got a quarter then you got a dime
100
(if I got a quarter then you got a dime)
101
And, you can call me up no matter what the time (ooh-ooh-ooh)
