| We was thick as thieves growing up
|
| Both of us raising hell
|
| Chasing liquor with liquor
|
| Racing and chasing tail
|
| You got caught with a nickel bag and then went to jail
|
| You sat it out for a week because your mama didn’t have bail
|
| I rode my bike to your house as soon as you got out
|
| Remember laughing at the cops and then I took you straight to the spot
|
| I moved away for some years to Atlanta, Georgia but stayed the same
|
| My troublesome attitude got me locked in an ugly chain
|
| We kept in touch every week and I noticed the change
|
| You wanted to clean up and go to school some day do the family thing
|
| And I was too wild to get it, admittedly so
|
| But I supported your move no matter which way that you rolled
|
| I guess you made a good choice, graduated with honors
|
| Got a good job at the factory making that legal dollar
|
| And as for me I got worse
|
| I found myself in a curse
|
| Dropped out of school for a dream
|
| A dream I didn’t rehearse
|
| You hit me up cuz you knew when you saw me I was bad off
|
| But I was too proud to ask for the help cuz I knew the cost
|
| But you offered a place to stay
|
| Until I could find my way
|
| You helped me go find a gig
|
| Clean up and get it straight
|
| Never once did you tell me to stop rapping and give it up
|
| As we sat talking on the bed of your lifted truck
|
| You had it all and I had nothing
|
| I’m just saying that meant something brother
|
| If you ever need me around I’ll be on the next train headed southbound
|
| I’ll never let you down, I can’t let you down
|
| Because when I couldn’t get my feet on the ground
|
| You’d do anything to help me out
|
| You never let me down
|
| What goes around comes around
|
| I’m just sitting here on my front porch singing
|
| This one’s for my ride or die
|
| This one’s for my ride or die
|
| This one’s for my ride or die
|
| I’m just sitting here on my front porch singing
|
| This one’s for my ride or die
|
| This one’s for my ride or die
|
| This one’s for my ride or die
|
| It’s been a while since I seen my friends, family and such
|
| Six months a year on the road, I never get to visit that much
|
| Even though it took me ten years to break a crack in this rock
|
| Now that I started this movement, I got no plans to stop
|
| Now you may see me in publications and radio placements
|
| A new truck, a new Harley, and think I forgot how I made it
|
| But ain’t a day that goes by that I don’t recall the struggle
|
| Scared to death to go back to it, I constantly hustle
|
| I thank you for my ambition
|
| For the strength to condition
|
| Anyone who helped me along the way and believed in my vision
|
| It takes a village to raise a child
|
| For me it took small towns
|
| Everything that I learned from it
|
| The ups and the downs
|
| My Uncle Buddy, he gave me a thousand dollars to make a tape
|
| Back in '02, when I could barely afford a plate
|
| And he couldn’t afford it either, but he did it anyhow
|
| And now he wears a thousand dollar smile, Uncle Bud
|
| If you ever need me around I’ll be on the next train headed southbound
|
| I’ll never let you down, I can’t let you down
|
| Because when I couldn’t get my feet on the ground
|
| You’d do anything to help me out
|
| You never let me down
|
| What goes around comes around
|
| I’m just sitting here on my front porch singing
|
| This one’s for my ride or die
|
| This one’s for my ride or die
|
| This one’s for my ride or die
|
| I’m just sitting here on my front porch singing
|
| This one’s for my ride or die
|
| This one’s for my ride or die
|
| This one’s for my ride or die
|
| I’m just sitting here on my front porch singing
|
| This one’s for my ride or die
|
| This one’s for my ride or die
|
| This one’s for my ride or die
