Generate meaning
1
3 kids started off being friends to the end
2
Growing up in a time that turned boys to men
3
Carlo was the slick one, the little girls liked him
4
And all the little niggaz in the hood, wanted to fight him
5
But Carlo, main nigga James wasn't having that
6
James had boxing game and left niggaz laying flat
7
All of us 12 or 13 at the time
8
Drinking cheap wine and smokin' brown bag dimes
9
I was into writing rhyme in class at school
10
Waitin' for the bell to ring so we can go and shoot pool
11
One day, some up the block niggaz came talking shit
12
Bragin' on they clique and how many crews they click with
13
Tryin' to start some extra clip shit, them niggaz so for real
14
James so cool to get with fucked his whole grill
15
Carlo, that slick nigga pulled a 22
16
They got some heat too, what the fuck we gonna do?
17
Bust and hit the back door, now we in the alleyway
18
Running, heart pumpin' fast tryin' to see another day
19
Blessed to escape the mayhem
20
Time and time again, we escaped the mayhem
21
Yo, what's been goin' on dogg?
22
Man, that shit goin' down dogg
23
What's goin' down with you?
24
I done heard you got rich, uh?
25
You don't fuck around with us
26
In the hood no more, uh?
27
You know it's funny how shit changes, right?
28
How life can loosen up a friendship that's so tight
29
Years after all the horseplay and misdemeanor crimes
30
Us being homeboys, didn't seem so fine
31
Years of just fuckin' around, rappin' in the neighborhood
32
Found me with a gold album, tryin' to live my life good
33
Carlo got popped with 8 keys in a minivan
34
Somewhere in Tex, Arcan, doin' about a hundred man
35
That nigga James, straight cutthroat on them snouts
36
Robbin' dope boys, gettin' what the fuck he want
37
The game changed, now you gotta play with death
38
Now I have to ask myself
39
Do you remember your childhood, back when
40
You didn't have to have loot, to have friends
41
Now it's all about your Benjamin's, your cash flow
42
And if a nigga fuck with that, he better know
43
Time changed everything, between us
44
And if I see you in the streets, I gotta bust
45
You used to be a friend to me, one I could trust
46
Now if you see me in the streets, you better bust
47
One day, I'm on my way to the studio, ya dig?
48
Pick up a zip of hay, after I drop off my kids
49
Flippin' through the hood, seen James with his little crew
50
Blue rags up, in a drop top Malibu
51
Bloodshot eyes, I could smell the dip burnin'
52
Bumpin' DJ Squeaky, flashin' what the earnin'
53
He asked about Carlo, well what can I say?
54
I write him when I get a chance but I pray for him everyday
55
Lookin' at my ride, tellin' me nigga you comin' up
56
Fuckin' with that rappin' stuff, I guess you just forgot about us
57
Na cat, it ain't like that, I gotta eat
58
That's when James clicked and pulled out his fuckin' heat
59
I hit the gas, he kept bustin' till the clip was empty
60
17 shots and didn't nothin' hot nip me
61
Quickly, grabbed my shit and opened it up wide
62
The nigga on the passenger side instantly died
63
James bailed, I gave chase, fuck the consequence
64
If I let him live, he'll start another incident
65
12 years ago, I never thought I'd see the day
66
Shit would ever be this way
67
Do you remember your childhood, back when
68
You didn't have to have loot, to have friends
69
Now it's all about your Benjamin's, your cash flow
70
And if a nigga fuck with that, he better know
71
Time changed everything, between us
72
And if I see you in the streets, I gotta bust
73
You used to be a friend to me, one I could trust
74
Now if you see me in the streets, you better bust
