Homies

Lighter Shade Of Brown

Verse: 1 ( ODM )



Well you ask me what the definition of a homie is



A friend till the end but some start when you're kids



Little traviesos that are always into something



Doing something bad acting like they did nothing



Well here's a little story about a homie named frankie



Had another little homie that was down for hanky panky



Sort of like Spanky and Alfalfa Little Rascals



Doing what they doing getting away without a hassle



Like going to the schoolyard for your late passes to class




Cutting in lunch lines leaving other students last



And strolling to the movies to see a rated "R"



When mom's dropped them off it's where E.T. would be the star




Stealing was an issue that just could not be ignored



Taking tapes and 45's from the local record store



Being good kids to them was nothing but bologna



Cause this is what you do when it's you and your homies




Chorus




Verse: 2 ( DTTX )




My situation with my homies wasn't all fun



sometimes bad sometimes sad, but had to have one



I wouldn't change it for a thing cause it's priceless



Your homies are your down, yup! Can I get a righteous



As kids, we saw and we did what most kids never did



Took my first swig chilling at my homies crib



Searching for ways, so that we could make presidents



Life was hard beign a product of my residence



But me beign the youngest, I had to stay strong



Mom's was my teacher cause Pop's was already gone



Hung out in the streets doing my own thing



Living in the barrio, but I never gangbanged



Coming up was a must, growing up with who I grew up



I found out just who I can trust



Me, Myself, and I not fronting like a phony



I'm true to the game and I
