[R&B sample] If, you move, I'll fall I'm leanin on you, you baby, you baby [Willie D: speaking over sample] Geto Boys Willie D We was livin on cold facts, cops sat in old 'Llacs Couldn't get along with T Jones, so he rolled jack I was on Prozac before I was 12 Spent my senior year in high school, sittin in jail To no avail, I WAS SCREAMIN OUT and nobody heard me Messed around and got shot, but it didn't deter me I think I was 14, so my boy was one-trey Cut my hair one day, left my crib and got sprayed And expired right away, nuttin to say, sad chapter Around here, either you get killed or you get captured Sister girl, I ain't know what you was dealin wit Pointed the finger at you, now I'm feelin like an idiot But I'm wiser now, and I seen the world It's messed up, how they treat us Geto Boys and girls The doctors tried to resucessitate, it was too late I got a daughter named Kain and a son named Blank And they be askin 'bout you, all the time I try to be a better man, sometimes I fall behind So if you feel some extra weight on you, don't be alarmed Don't move, don't flee, that's me - leanin on you [R&B sample] I'm leanin on you [Bushwick Bill] Y'all wonder why I act crazy, life don't phase me For me to still be above ground it's just amazing Wasn't aware bein different gave me intangible wealth That's why I, took a gun and tried to kill myself My folks got the blame of course, I used to ask why did God make my brother so tall and me a dwarf? This ain't no "poor little me song," that's so phony I got a good life, I'm just sharin my testimony But could you imagine bein me, for one hour, one day One week, one month, one year? Get out of here! You'd never make it, life's not fair Everywhere you go, people point, people laugh, people stare They don't care, so I don't care, most of the day I feel awkward but I believe I'm goin to hell if I don't pray As I laid, on that hospital gurney, fightin for my life I felt the demons touch my body then I saw the light That was you, I know it was you Cause all the love in the world from my family couldn't pull me through Lord, when it gets really rough You're the only one that's strong enough to hold me up That's why I lean on you [R&B sample] I'm leanin on you [Scarface] You're my one and only friend, ever since I was a kid We've been in and out through thick and thin, tryin to get a win Broke as fuck on the corners like a nigga had diplomas Back in 1985, skippin class, gettin high Fat Turner we were walkin, I remember you was talkin 'bout this lick we was supposed to hit and turn us all to bosses So we took that trip to Austin, and we came back with this package that would later turn this strongest friendship into us scrappin Ain't too sure about what happened, all I'm knowin is it was money Had a nigga wagin war against who I thought was the homey Shoulda known this shit was evil, by the way it did my peoples And the whole entire neighborhood fucked up behind this needle Now we roam in the Regal, windows tinted, dem bangin Pistol grip on the frontseat, smokin and steady drankin Drunk and I'm steady thankin we probably shouldn't left it Cause every time that a nigga drops a record you arrested It's depressin, but life and it's lessons'll leave us guessin Gettin out, was a blessin, but lately a nigga stressin Which leads me to this question, was money the only reason we feuded Cause now that we got it, homey let's keep it movin, let's move [R&B sample] I'm leanin on you [R&B sample] I'm leanin on you
