Generate meaning
1
At days arrival, one man at the table
2
Eatin' corn flakes, checkin out the paper
3
His brother walks in from a hard nights caper
4
Half hungover and looking for his pager
5
What's in the news today did we find a savior?
6
Nah, I'm just looking for some part time labor
7
By the way did you remember put the gas in my ride
8
Or must I remind you how I lost my last job
9
Chill with all that chatter, you know, you need to stall
10
Trust me, baby, bro, that's what big brotha's for
11
Uh, uh, I got interviews today
12
So don't even front about my broken gas gauge
13
By the way things are looking it's a very good day
14
If I could ever find my wallet I'll be on my way
15
Bigger brotha steps to his girlfriend's place
16
Just then the phone rings and it was moms to say
17
Remind you, big brotha, it's your cousin's birthday
18
And I'm a need a half dozen eggs for the cake
19
No problem, moms, I'll tell him later in the day
20
But now I can't find my wallet gotta go I'm late
21
The world's in your hands
22
Don't waste, don't waste your time
23
Back to the saga, the car wouldn't start up
24
There he goes, now he's rolling like a baller
25
Out of the city and into the woods
26
For a job with a hammer where the pay is good
27
Reaches in the back seat for his favorite tape
28
Uh, a condom from his brotha's last date
29
Damn, my lazy no good brotha
30
And just as he says it, the car starts to sputter
31
And sputter, until it outright stops
32
The gas tank empty, not even a drop
33
I'm gonna choke that nigga when I reach my spot
34
Three miles from no place and now I gotta walk
35
To the top of the hill and down again
36
'Round the bend page my broth from the old fruit stand
37
The phone ring rings, yo, it's me your big brotha
38
I told you not to sweat me when I'm laying with my lover
39
What? You punk ass broke muthafukka
40
I told you cut the crap when it came to my endeavors
41
Chill, baby bro, and don't even start it there's a gallon in
42
The trunk and if ya need more fart it
43
Some of my shit along with you lost wallet
44
Is in the glove box kid, the mystery solven
45
Take what's yours and leave mine where you saw it
46
My baby's calling gotta go stay solid
47
The world's in your hands
48
Don't waste, don't waste your time
49
So he hung up the phone in a rush to leave
50
I forgot to tell my brotha 'bout the cake recipe
51
Star 69 so he pushed it in
52
But by now the bigger brotha was pursuing some skins
53
The phone ring rings, don't answer it
54
It's my little brotha calling fuckin' with me again
55
So he beeped him back a one two more times
56
But he was already naked with his Valentine
57
Damn, I gotta get back to the ride
58
What the hell's going on with this day of mine?
59
Once again up the hill down the other side
60
What the fucks a cop doin' snooping by my ride?
61
Yo, officer, check it out, everything is fine
62
I just ran outta gas and now I'm running outta time
63
Slow down boy this ain't no race
64
I can tell you kinda people ain't from this place
65
Tell you what turn around put you hands on the hood
66
And your best act good just like a good boy should
67
Listen up, holdup, I'm speaking the truth
68
See I'm just trying to get to this here job interview
69
Shut them lips, boy, don't let 'em get no bigger
70
Or I'm gonna have to say I was attacked by a nigger
71
Now if you wanna make it through the morning with me
72
I suggest you wise up and show me valid ID
73
Chill, man, alright, problem, we solve it
74
My brotha put my wallet in the glove box compartment
75
Alright, you can get it but you don't move quick
76
Just remember I'm behind you with a full up clip
77
He opens up the box and to their surprise
78
Out pops a wallet and the bigger brothers nine
79
The cop shouts, "Freeze, raise your hand, kid "
80
He reaches for his wallet and the cop goes blam
81
Damn, pulp fiction in the car
82
Another dead homey tryin' a find a job
83
Back at the crib bigger brotha
84
Laying up and girlfriend says
85
Maybe you should give your little brother a call
86
And don't forget it's your cousin's birthday after all
87
I will in a minute please let me be
88
I think he left me a message on the message machine
89
Big brotha, I'm gonna be home late
90
And I'm afraid that my day has been great
91
Can I remind you if it's not too late
92
To get a half dozen eggs for the birthday cake?
