Lyrics
[Intro]
Everybody, everybody
Everybody
Everybody sit your bitch-ass down and listen to this true mothafuckin' story told by Kendrick Lamar on Rosecrans, yeah, bitch
[Chorus]
Smokin' on the finest dope, ay-ay-ay-ah
Drank until I can't no more, ay-ay-ay-ah
Really, I'm a sober soul
But I'm with the homies right now
And we askin' for no favors
Rush a **** quick, then laugh about it later, ay-ay-ay-ah
Really, I'm a peacemaker
But I'm with the homies right now
[Chorus]
And Momma used to say, say, say, say, s-
One day it's gon' burn you out (Woo, woo)
One day it's gon' burn you out, out, oh
And one day it's gon' burn you out (One day it's gon' burn you out)
One day it's gon' burn you out (One day it's gon' burn you, but I'm with the homies right now)
[Verse 1]
Me and my **** four deep in a white Toyota
A quarter tank of gas, one pistol and orange soda
Janky stash box when the federales all roll up
Basketball shorts with the Gonzales Park odor
We on the mission for bad bitches and trouble
I hope the universe love you today
'Cause the energy we bringin' sure to carry away a flock of positive activists that fill they body with hate
If it's necessary
Bumpin' Jeezy first album, lookin' distracted
Speakin' language only we know, you think it's an accent
The windows roll down, all I see is a hand pass it
Hotboxin' like George Foreman grillin' the masses of the workin' world
We pulled up on a bunch of workin' girls and asked them what they workin' with
Look at me, I got the blunt in my mouth
Usually I'm drug-free, but, shit, I'm with the homies
[Chorus]
Yeah, ****, we off a pill and Remy Red
Come through and bust ya head, ****
Me and the homies
Sag all the way to the liquor store
Where my **** pour up a four and get twisted some more
Me and the homies
I ride for my mothafuckin' ****
Hop out, do my stuff, then hop back in
Me and the homies
Matter fact, I hop out that mothafucka and be like
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
[Verse 2]
It's 2:30 and the sun is beamin'
Air conditioner broke and I hear my stomach screamin'
Hungry for anything unhealthy and if nutrition can help me, I'll tell you to suck my dick, then I'll continue eatin'
We speedin' on the 405, passin' Westchester
You know, the light-skinned girls in all their little dresses
Good Lord, they knew we weren't from 'round there, 'cause every time we down there, we pullin' out the Boost Mobile SIM cards
Bougie bitches with no extensions
Hood **** with bad intentions
The perfect combination
Before we sparked a conversation
We seen three **** in colors we didn't like, then started interrogatin'
I never was a gangbanger, I mean, I never was stranger to the phonk neither
I really doubt it
Rush a **** quick and then we laugh about it
That's ironic, 'cause I've never been violent until I'm with the homies
[Chorus]
Just ridin', just ridin'
Me and the homies
Bullshittin', actin' a fool
Me and the homies
Trippin', really trippin'
Me and the homies
Just ridin', just ridin', just ridin'
[Verse 3]
Braggin' 'bout the episode we just had
A shot of Hennessy, didn't make me feel that bad
I'm usually a true firm believer of bad karma
Consequences from evil will make your past haunt ya
We tryna conquer the city with disobedience
Quick to turn it up, even if we ain't got the CD in
But Jeezy still playin' and our attitude is still "****, what is you sayin'?"
Pull in front of the house that we been campin' out or like two months
The sun is goin' down as we take whatever we want
Aye, aye, ****, jackpot, ****, pop the safe
Aye, ****, I think there's somebody in this room
Wait, what?
****, it's somebody in this room
[Verse 4]
I hit the back window in search of any Nintendo
DVD's, plasma-screen TV's in the trunk
We made a right, then made a left, then made a right
Then made a left, we was just circlin' life
My mama called
"Hello? What you doin'?"
"Kickin' it"
I shoulda told her I'm probably 'bout to catch my first offense with the homies
[Verse 5]
But they made a right, then made a left
Then made a right, then another right
One lucky night with the homies
[Outro]
K. Dot, you faded, hood?
Yeah, we finally got that **** faded
Woo-hoo-hoo
I think he hit the wrong blunt, though
Ooh, which one?
Well, which one you talkin' about?
I was finna hit the one with the shenanigans in it
I pray he ain't hit that
Nah, that **** straight, he ain't hit that one
That the shenanigans?
Give that **** the shenanigans
****, I think we should push back to the city, for real, though
****, for what?
What's that, ****, what's that Jeezy song say, ****?
"Last time I checked I was the man on these streets!"
Yeah, yeah, that shit right there
I'm tryna be the **** in the street
There he go
Man, you don't even know how the shit go
Alright, here's the plan, look
We gon' use the kickback as a alibi
Wait till the sun go down, roll out, complete the mission
Drop K Dot off at his mama van, at the park
'Cause I know he tryna fuck on Sherane tonight
That's what he not gon' do
Then we all gon' meet back at the block at about 10:30
That's straight, but we should just meet up around 12
I'm tryna fuck on somethin' too
****, sit your dumb-ass back down
****, you ain't finna do shit tonight
Matter fact, ****, get in the mothafuckin' car
We finna get active
