Homeboy
Coolio

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:


Now I done met a lot of haters in my lifetime

That I would of smoked if I would of had a tek 9

But, here I stand as a man, and I'm free to say

I'm hella glad that my momma didn't raise me that way

And the homies I grew up with

Locs I threw up with

Is the kind of fools that you don't want to buck with

Why does it seem that the good brothers die

And the evil brothers live

And prosper and multiply

Pass the hennessey to the left hand side

Want some many dirt for the homies that expired

I hope you rest in peace

And, when it's time for my release

I'll meet you at the crossroads dippin in the low-low

But, until then i'ma keep my rolls slow

My flow on tight, and stay rollin with the 4-0

This is comin from the one and only

And like mc shan said, i'll never leave you lonely


Chorus: coolio, montell jordan


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

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 3:


Me and you is like family

And everybody know that we go back to back

And we go toe to toe

Comin from the west

Where the sets run thick

Where brothers either bang or try to make a grip

I cross my heart and hope to die

I never lie

I run out on mine

Anywhere or anytime

Me and my homies don't get involved with that he say, she say

But, if you've lost you'll recieve a ass whippin with your instant replay

Or, deckin like tekken

So, show some respect when respect is given to you

And, watch out for the forty too

Fake curve

And fools who got the nerve

To pretend that they was down

When last month they wadn't even around

West coast, east coast, and worldwide

My homies in the pen, and my homies that lived and died

I'm still the same little nappy head brother from the eastside

And, you can call me homeboy


Chorus: coolio, montell jordan


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

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

(if I got a quarter then you got a dime)

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

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

(watch my back, then I'll watch yours, yours)

You can call me homeboy (call me homeboy)

I don't fly on air, walk on water (iiii, don't walk on water, no)

You can count on me till the end (count on me till the end, oh-yeah)

Thick and thin (thick and thin)

You can call me homeboy (call me homeboy)

If I got a quarter then you got a dime

(if I got a quarter then you got a dime)

And, you can call me up no matter what the time

(call me up no matter what the time)

If you (if you)

(watch my back, I'll watch yours, yours)

You can call me homeboy (call me homeboy)

(you can call me homeboy, boy, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

(I got your back, ooh-ooh-ooh)

(you can call me homeboy)

(you can call me homeboy)
