Yo can I get a Seven and Seven over here?
Yo can I get a Cranberry Citron?
A tall one?
No, no, lemme get a Newcastle,
a Newcastle
Yo homie
Had I known
That you'd a grown
Into a full- blown example
of how to act like an asshole
I never would have introduced you to
booze and skipping school
'Cause right now I feel re
sponsible to find an answer
Yo, yo, back in junior high when you
and I started getting high
Life was just a joke,
we was too young to know the punch- line
And you would sooner die then realize
you're running out of time
Who's to decide there's no more
recess after lunch- time
Bam, here you am, intoxicated again
Bam, here you am, intoxicated again
He used to be my man, understand?
I believe you've slightly
exceeded (slight exceeded)
How many of them drinks that you think
you need when
You're trying to boost the bonus
points and reinforce your voice
But I'm not trying to walk within your
obnoxiousness (hell naw)
We used to be friends back in the
day when you had direction
But that was before your
brain felt that infection
And I ain't claiming innocence
I was right there with you then
I'm just sayin'
While we was waiting to move up,
some of us grew up
We all knew what the difference between
wrong and right was
Sometimes the line blurred,
when we was influenced by a light buzz
But from what I see,
you've established the persona
Basis, built from foundation,
for emulating the genre, drama
Without taking a moment to ponder,
the trail of karma that you've weaved
Through the field that you've wandered
No longer am I shocked
by the things you do
I'm just confused as to why it's
gotta be me to confront you
I guess nobody else gives a damn
So I gotta go for self,
'cause I'm a man
Understand?
And you can take it as concern
Or you can see it as your
ego getting burned
Either way, tonight yo,
one of us is gonna learn
And I guess nobody else gives a damn
But see I do
Because you used to be my man,
understand?
And even if it means you beat
me down to the cement
It's all love, I need to see you
stick around until the end
