[ar:B.G. Knocc out & Dresta] |
| [00:03.06][Intro: Dresta] |
|
| [00:04.07] |
50/50 love |
| [00:06.28] |
Yeah, for 199-mother******'-5 |
| [00:10.00] |
50/50 love |
| [00:11.56] |
Gangsta Dresta done stomped through the doors once again |
| [00:14.04] |
50/50 love |
| [00:15.68] |
Dedicating this one to all my ******s all across the land |
| [00:17.01] |
50/50 love |
| [00:21.62] |
We need a 50/50 love back in the hood, loc |
| [00:24.91] |
Check this out |
| [00:26.02][Verse 1: Dresta] |
|
| [00:27.06] |
I walked through the turf |
| [00:28.20] |
Me and Smurf jibba-jabbing about the old days |
| [00:29.74] |
Smokin' on a joint, listenin' to The O'Jays |
| [00:32.60] |
******s up my mind to see how times changed |
| [00:35.17] |
It's all kinda strange, ain't a damn thang the same |
| [00:37.90] |
Back when it was all about packin' switchblade |
| [00:40.64] |
Half of us down now is runnin' around ************ made |
| [00:43.34] |
Didn't wanna fight brothas grown that was known |
| [00:45.91] |
But now it's on, if one of the homies come at me wrong |
| [00:49.24] |
Back then things was like hyped |
| [00:51.41] |
Even if the homies fight, still kept the hood tight |
| [00:53.90] |
Down with each other to the last bit |
| [00:56.33] |
Now we got homies puttin' each others into caskets |
| [00:59.16] |
Used to roll in Chevys, now ******s wanna Benzie |
| [01:01.72] |
Money and **** done brought jealousy and envy |
| [01:04.66] |
******s got greedy and the needy got left back |
| [01:07.31] |
Now your own homie is the victim of your next jack |
| [01:10.00] |
Serving ****** with the gat stuffed in your mouth |
| [01:12.45] |
Used to sleep on your couch, spending nights at your house |
| [01:15.57] |
And it's a damn shame that the hood ain't like it was |
| [01:18.38] |
I'm talkin' about a 50/50 love |
| [01:20.53][Hook] |
(x2) |
| [01:21.80] |
I ain't talkin' about 70/30 (A 50/50) |
| [01:23.87] |
Not 60/40 (A 50/50) |
| [01:25.99] |
I'm talkin' about 50/50 love, yeah |
| [01:41.56][Verse 2: Dresta] |
|
| [01:42.79] |
The homies used to take us to the liquor store to steal beer |
| [01:45.91] |
That was when my cousin Gugulo was still here |
| [01:48.64] |
Buddy gave a party like almost every weekend |
| [01:51.22] |
I've been tryna sneak in, tryna put my freak in |
| [01:53.76] |
See how times changed, one of the sets we used to fight with |
| [01:56.58] |
But that set now is one of the sets that we tight with |
| [01:59.46] |
Time's still changin' cause brothas turnin' into snitches |
| [02:02.15] |
Can't separate the real ******s from the ************ |
| [02:04.92] |
Even in the jailhouse ******s being phony |
| [02:07.56] |
You really don't know, who to treat like a homie |
| [02:10.45] |
Back in the day we used to claim we was brothas |
| [02:13.06] |
And cousins and ************t and now we can't trust each other |
| [02:15.70] |
Gotta watch my back not just cause a brotha gaze for ******s that |
| [02:18.73] |
Bang for the same thang that I claim |
| [02:21.60] |
Homies locked down doing time in a chamber |
| [02:23.87] |
We talking about 'em a lot but yet we treating 'em like a stranger |
| [02:26.70] |
I recollect the days when I was back in like the 6th grade |
| [02:29.63] |
Tucking about behind the O.G.'s. learning how the trick's played |
| [02:32.69] |
Damn, a ****** really kinda miss how them days was, G |
| [02:37.09] |
Cause it was 50/50 love |
| [02:38.65][Hook] |
(x2) |
| [02:57.52][Verse 3: B.G, Knocc Out] |
|
| [02:59.58] |
For the homies that's resting, I pour a little drink right |
| [03:02.24] |
But how many others go visit them at their grave site |
| [03:05.08] |
Forget the bull************t, pass the hats around the room homes |
| [03:07.80] |
Let's go and visit the homies and put some flowers on their tomb stones |
| [03:11.19] |
Yeah, cause that's the least we can do, you know |
| [03:13.56] |
Be in the hood that they died fo' and loved ones cried fo' |
| [03:17.22] |
I missed 'em with a passion fo' what it's worth |
| [03:19.77] |
I hope I meet 'em again when I leave from this earth |
| [03:22.77] |
And we done lost many of 'em |
| [03:24.72] |
And it's a shame that we let 'em go |
| [03:26.49] |
Without letting 'em know we love 'em |
| [03:28.27] |
But now I'mma let the homies rest in peace |
| [03:30.19] |
And all the homies that's beefing with each other, loc, gotta cease |
| [03:33.64] |
I can't speak about nobody else |
| [03:35.33] |
Can’t peace treat with nobody else |
| [03:37.22] |
Until we be peace with ourselves |
| [03:38.90] |
Homies ain't homies like it was |
| [03:40.92] |
I really don't know who wants to fill me with slugs |
| [03:43.59] |
Without the backstabbing everything would probably be fun |
| [03:46.24] |
That's how it is in the hood that I come from |
| [03:49.38] |
Damn, a ****** really kinda miss how them days was, cus |
| [03:52.63] |
Cause it was 50/50 love. |
