Homeboy

Coolio

3

[Featuring Montell Jordan]

Intro:

A homeboy is somebody that got your back

Whether you right or wrong

Somebody that excepts you for what you are

Not what you got on what you can do for them

If you lucky enough to have some then

You know what I'm talkin bout

Verse 1:

Friends how many of us have them

And not that many

The chances of meeting someone these days you can trust is skinny

But it seems there really ain't a damn thing you can do

Cause since the seventies, it seems everybody been rolling with a crew

A team, a gang, a posse, or some type-a click

And if your firm ain't thick

Then your squad becomes vixed

Be extra careful or the ones you call your partna

Cause what they really is, is a busta out to rob ya

And, be weary of strangers bearing your God and gifts

And a wolf in sheeps clothing

Cause some of y'all ain't knowing

Me and you go back like roaches in the projects

And, we done been through things they still ain't even thought of yet

A good homie is hard to come by

But most times you get done by the ones you trust most

So, I gotta raise a toast

To my tried and tested, and straight up for real dose

Pour yourself some exol, this ones here for you, loc

Chorus: Coolio, Montell Jordan

I don't fly on air, walk on water (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Uh, but, I'm damn sure your partner (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

You can count on me to the end (Oh-yeah)

Thick and thin, nigga

You can call me homeboy (You can call me homeboy)

If I got a quarter, then you got a dime (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

And, you can call me up no matter what the time (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

If you watch my back, then I'll watch yours, nigga

You can call me homeboy (Call me homeboy)

Verse 2:
