Generate meaning
1
You claim you're still bitter
2
but I got the raw end of the deal
3
[ VERSE 1: Hardhead ]
4
I heard the expression 'a dog is a man's best friend'
5
But I grew up thinkin it was a woman
6
But I had to learn the hard way
7
Never thought I'd see the day I'd be sleepin on the subway
8
But that's the path she chose
9
The next day I arose still kickin the same clothes
10
I had to make a decision
11
Even though I lost her my friends still gave me recognition
12
Bein recognized by the guys
13
Wasn't a surprise, you see, cause they're my homies
14
And with them I get nuff respect (nuff respect)
15
When I was down they were there
16
When I didn't have, they were more than happy to share
17
Inside I feel the pains trapped
18
I don't feel she dissed me but I feel I got a bum rap
19
The guys knew what I was thinkin of
20
The only thing to cure an old love was a new love
21
A ghetto love
22
[ VERSE 2: Hardhead ]
23
It's 3 o'clock, I'm hungry and I'm cold
24
I want to call her but she's even changed area codes
25
Was it that bad, what I did?
26
To hell with it, I go to my man's crib
27
Oh, his name is Bezo
28
The type of power only friendship could bestow
29
I ring his bell and he's alarmed
30
And I'm greeted in with open arms
31
The next day, a different routine
32
I'm caught drinkin on a public scene
33
I'm callin my homies to come get me
34
Cause I know down they never let me
35
Free as a bird, once again I'm chillin
36
My homies ain't rich, but to me they're top-billin
37
Over, over again they've proven
38
Not even a jail cell can separate a real friend
39
It seems that our love as a crew gets better and better
40
We stick as a posse like a stamp to a letter
41
What's theirs is mines, what's mines is theirs
42
Cause in this ghetto love game we play fair
43
I'm unspoiled by success
44
Even though God's blessed they're still not impressed
45
The way they once treated me they still treat me
46
It's nothin different now cause I'm makin a little money
47
Like when we hang, rumbles still continue
48
Puttin heads out is still on our menu
49
We'll go to war in a heartbeat
50
And I never went to war and they ran out and left me
51
We're all about one for all and all for one
52
And if it's more than one you better have more than one gun
53
The only sleep that outlasts love is death
54
And we'll hang until one of us takes the last breath
55
How close can a clan of man be?
56
That one partner's pain is his posse's mysery?
57
We say they come a dime a dozen
58
But I've been turned on by my own so-called cousins
59
Is the blood we shed really thicker than water?
60
If it is, then maybe you oughta
61
Witness
62
A ghetto love
63
I'ma always have my homies
64
They gon' see me in the cold, or hunger
65
or just out there driftin, whatever
66
All my homies around the way in the South Bronx
67
Jason, Shawn, my man Jim-Jim, the whole posse
68
Those who I miss, you know who you are
69
[Name], Bezo, Lucky
70
The official crew, y'all know
71
The same crew that always goes through
72
the rain and the shine
73
Peace
