[Verse 1]

You know the happenings, homies just yapping and

Hand shaking, laughing, and exchanging all they math again

You usually lose touch when you traveling

A few dudes bruise up in the batteling

Parked on Madison across from the Radison

We talked about the taddling some niggaz did in Maryland

Plus discussed, no homicides unraveling

I asked was he dabbling he laughed and said he managing

His Cardi frames was as clear as a camera lens

He hardly changed, I was near in comparison

We joked about how police choked him out

And he claimed as far as fame I had enough to bust in Operas mouth

In other words, I was up in clout

And from the curb I need to pull a Larry Bird fore I'm up and out

Without a sound, snatch my Guinness off the ground

Rose up, gave him a pound and told him, "Homie, hold it down"



[Chorus]

You know the game insane in the brain

Big thangs in the Range, real niggaz never change

And though we homies and we no longer hang

You know you know me and that love still remains

So thru the fame, thru the fire and the flames

I adapt to the pain, real niggaz do the same

And though we homies and we no longer hang

You know you know me and that love still remains



[Verse 2]

It was Tuesday when I saw him, figured Friday I could call him

Woke up early Wednesday morning, flew a chick in from New Orleans

She ain't that average bitch who be dogging for dick

You know them chicks that get you sick when they keep calling

Up in Nostrum's for a fresh pair of the Force 'em

Of course with footwear I be that first nigga that sport 'em

Caught 'em, before the salesmens even had time to assort 'em

Bought 'em, before any celeb stylist eva saw 'em

Warm soon as I copped 'em in the spot playing possum

Debating my destination, lacing, weighing my options

Celly started rocking, I anwsered, "What's poppin'?"

They anwsered and said, "They shot him, now the hood got a problem"

I had to swallow, reaching out for my water bottle

Tryin to figure what nigga, why and by who, then

Before you know it, the other voice told it

It was homie from the old click I just seemed to spoke with



Oh shit, this can't be serious, that's my word, pssssh



[Chorus]



[Verse 3]

It's Doe or Die, we survive till we slain

And it's no surprise, homie was prolly high when they came

I know the guy, he was fly, him and I was the same

A Gemini, with a status symbolized as his name

Godly trained, he could camoflague on any terrain

Cardi frames, we go back like bottles and James

It's a shame cuz they say his baby mom is to blame

But nonchalantly I refrained cuz it constantly changed

From close range, somebody please slowly explain

If they just wanted some jewels why didn't they go for the chain?

If they just wanted some news they coulda left him in his Hanes

But no, they just left a nigga breathless and banged



[Chorus] - 3X
