[00:22.72]You know the happenings, homies just yappin' and
[00:25.17]Hand shaking, laughing, and exchangin' all they math again
[00:27.84]You usually lose touch when you travelin'
[00:30.39]A few dudes bruised up in the battlin'
[00:33.17]Parked on Madison across from the Radisson
[00:35.58]We talked about the tattlin' some n!ggas did in Maryland
[00:38.38]Plus discussed old homicides unravelin'
[00:40.90]I asked, was he dabblin', he laughed and said he managin'
[00:43.74]His Carti frames was as clear as a camera lens
[00:46.64]He hardly changed, I was near in comparison
[00:49.19]We joked about how police choked him out
[00:51.57]And he claimed as far as fame I had enough to bust in Oprah's mouth
[00:54.79]In other words, I was up in clout
[00:56.76]And from the curb I need to pull a Larry Bird, 'fore I'm up and out
[00:59.72]Without a sound, snatched my Guinness off the ground
[01:02.10]Rose up, gave him a pound and told him, "Homie, hold it down"
[01:05.18]You know the game insane in the brain
[01:07.61]Big things in the Range, real n!ggas never change
[01:10.34]And though we homies and we no longer hang
[01:12.93]You know you know me and that love still remains
[01:15.76]So through the fame, through the fire and the flames
[01:18.29]I adapt to the pain, real n!ggas do the same
[01:21.04]And though we homies and we no longer hang
[01:23.70]You know you know me and that love still remains
[01:26.45]It was Tuesday when I saw him, figured Friday I could call him
[01:29.11]Woke up early Wednesday morning, flew a chick in from New Orleans
[01:31.73]She ain't that average b!tch who be doggin' for d!ck
[01:34.88]You know them chicks that get you sick when they keep callin'
[01:37.50]Up in Nordstrom's for a fresh pair to floss 'em
[01:39.89]Of course with footwear I be that first n!gga that sport 'em
[01:42.69]Caught 'em before the salesmen even had time to assort 'em
[01:45.34]Bought 'em before any celeb stylist ever saw 'em
[01:47.89]Wore 'em soon as I copped 'em in the spot playing possum
[01:50.60]Debating my destination, lacing, weighing my options
[01:53.38]Celly started rockin', I answered, what's poppin'
[01:56.06]They answered and said, they shot him, now the hood got a problem
[01:58.83]I had to swallow, reaching out for my water bottle
[02:01.62]Tryin' to figure what n!gga, why and by who, then
[02:04.19]Before you know it, the other voice told it
[02:06.73]It was homie from the old clique I just seen and spoke with
[02:10.46]
[02:20.85]You know the game insane in the brain
[02:22.60]Big things in the Range, real n!ggas never change
[02:25.68]And though we homies and we no longer hang
[02:28.02]You know you know me and that love still remains
[02:31.33]So through the fame, through the fire and the flames
[02:33.50]I adapt to the pain, real n!ggas do the same
[02:36.72]And though we homies and we no longer hang
[02:38.53]You know you know me and that love still remains
[02:41.22]It's Doe or Die, we survive 'till we slain
[02:43.92]And it's no surprise, homie was probably high when they came
[02:47.10]I know the guy, he was fly, him and I was the same
[02:49.42]A Gemini, with a status symbolized as his name
[02:52.18]Godly trained, he could camouflage on any terrain
[02:54.73]Carti frames, we go back like Bartles and James
[02:57.48]It's a shame cause they say his baby mom is to blame
[03:00.31]But nonchalantly I refrained cause it constantly changed
[03:03.09]From close range, somebody please slowly explain
[03:05.61]If they just wanted some jewels why didn't they go for the chain
[03:08.25]If they just wanted some news they could've left him in his Hanes
[03:10.90]But no, they just left a n!gga breathless and banged
[03:14.60]You know the game insane in the brain
[03:16.30]Big things in the Range, real n!ggas never change
[03:19.62]And though we homies and we no longer hang
[03:21.70]You know you know me and that love still remains
[03:24.84]So through the fame, through the fire and the flames
[03:26.97]I adapt to the pain, real n!ggas do the same
[03:30.29]And though we homies and we no longer hang
[03:32.41]You know you know me and that love still remains
[04:13.18]
