Homeboy

Coolio

[Featuring Montell Jordan]



Intro:



A homeboy is somebody that got your back



Whether you right or wrong



Somebody that excepts you for what you are



Not what you got on what you can do for them



If you lucky enough to have some then



You know what I'm talkin bout



Verse 1:



Friends how many of us have them



And not that many



The chances of meeting someone these days you can trust is skinny



But it seems there really ain't a damn thing you can do



Cause since the seventies, it seems everybody been rolling with a crew



A team, a gang, a posse, or some type-a click



And if your firm ain't thick



Then your squad becomes vixed



Be extra careful or the ones you call your partna



Cause what they really is, is a busta out to rob ya



And, be weary of strangers bearing your God and gifts



And a wolf in sheeps clothing



Cause some of y'all ain't knowing



Me and you go back like roaches in the projects



And, we done been through things they still ain't even thought of yet



A good homie is hard to come by



But most times you get done by the ones you trust most



So, I gotta raise a toast



To my tried and tested, and straight up for real dose



Pour yourself some exol, this ones here for you, loc



Chorus: Coolio, Montell Jordan



I don't fly on air, walk on water (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)



Uh, but, I'm damn sure your partner (Ooh-ooh-ooh)



You can count on me to the end (Oh-yeah)



Thick and thin, nigga



You can call me homeboy (You can call me homeboy)



If I got a quarter, then you got a dime (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)



And, you can call me up no matter what the time (Ooh-ooh-ooh)



If you watch my back, then I'll watch yours, nigga



You can call me homeboy (Call me homeboy)



Verse 2:
