If My Homie Calls
[00:17.13] Ever since you was a pee-wee, down by my knee with a wee-wee
[00:20.39] We been coochie-coo all through school, you and me, G
[00:22.66] Back in the days we played practical jokes on
[00:24.93] Everybody smoked with they locs and they yokes on
[00:27.40] All through high school, girls by the dozens
[00:29.65] Saying we cousins, knowing that we wasn't
[00:32.15] But like the old saying goes
[00:34.16] Times goes on and everybody grows
[00:36.85] Grew apart, had to part, went our own ways
[00:38.88] You chose the dope game, my microphone pays
[00:41.42] In many ways we were paid in the old days
[00:43.38] So far away from the crazies with AK's
[00:45.91] And though I been around clowning with the Underground
[00:48.16] I'm still down with my homies from the hometown
[00:50.41] And if you need, need anything at all
[00:52.65] I drop it all for y'all, if my homies call
[00:55.15] "But if you ever need a place to stay"
[00:56.90] “Well, alright, y'all” “Brothers and sisters”
[00:59.63] "But if you ever need a place to stay"
[01:01.39] “Well, alright, y'all” “Brothers and sisters”
[01:04.13] "But if you ever need a place to stay"
[01:05.92] “Well, alright, y'all” “Brothers and sisters”
[01:08.64] "But if you ever need a place to stay"
[01:10.64] “Well, alright, y'all” “Brothers and sisters”
[01:12.86] It's a shame, you chose the dope game
[01:14.89] Now you slang 'caine on the streets with no name
[01:17.42] It was plain that your aim was more 'caine
[01:19.88] You got fame, now you run with no shame
[01:22.13] I chose rap tracks to make stacks
[01:24.40] In fact I travel the map with raps that spray cats
[01:26.88] But now I don't wanna down my homie
[01:28.63] No matter how low you go, you're not lonely
[01:31.17] And I, hear that you made a few enemies
[01:33.38] But when you need a friend you can depend on me
[01:35.88] Call if you need my assistance, there'll be no resistance
[01:39.39] I'll be there in an instant
[01:40.90] Who am I to judge another brother, only on his cover
[01:43.63] I be no different than the others
[01:45.36] H-to-the-O-to-the-M-to-the-I-to-the-E
[01:48.13] I'm down to the E-N-D
[01:50.12] 'Cause it's a fall in no time at all
[01:52.13] I'm down for y'all, when my homies call
[01:56.64] Word, if my homies call
[01:59.64] "But if you ever need a place to stay"
[02:01.16] “Well, alright, y'all” “Brothers and sisters”
[02:04.15] "But if you ever need a place to stay"
[02:05.89] “Well, alright, y'all” “Brothers and sisters”
[02:08.68] "But if you ever need a place to stay"
[02:11.64] “Well, alright, y'all” “Brothers and sisters”
[02:13.42] "But if you ever need a place to stay"
[02:15.13] “Well, alright, y'all” “Brothers and sisters”
[02:17.17] Well, it's '91 and I'm living kinda swell now
[02:19.64] But I hear that you're going through some hell, pal
[02:21.88] But life making records ain't easy
[02:23.89] It ain't what I expected, it's hectic, it's sleazy
[02:26.41] But I guess that the streets is harder
[02:28.36] Trying to survive in the life of a young godfather
[02:31.12] My homie is making it elsewhere
[02:33.40] Striving, working 9-to-5 with no healthcare
[02:35.88] We both had dreams of being great
[02:37.92] But his deferred and blurred and changed in shape
[02:40.40] It's fate, it wasn't my choice to make
[02:42.38] To be great, I'm giving it all it takes
[02:44.89] Trying to shake the crates and fakes and snakes
[02:47.13] I gotta take my place or fall from grace
[02:49.42] The bullet's late, the pace is quick and great
[02:51.64] Smiling face to hide the trace of hate
[02:54.13] But my homie would never do me wrong
[02:55.90] That's why I wrote this song, if you ever need me, it's on
[02:58.89] No matter who the foe, they must fall
[03:00.90] Us against them all, I'm down to brawl if my homies call
[03:03.85] "But if you ever need a place to stay"
[03:05.60] “Well, alright, y'all” “Brothers and sisters”
[03:08.41] "But if you ever need a place to stay"
[03:11.95] If my homies call
[03:14.21] "But if you ever need a place to stay"
[03:15.39] “Well, alright, y'all” “Brothers and sisters”
[03:17.40] "But if you ever need a place to stay"
[03:19.40] “Well, alright, y'all” “Brothers and sisters”
[03:21.15] If my homies call
[03:23.73] “Well, alright, y'all” “Brothers and sisters”
