You claim you`re still bitter
but I got the raw end of the deal
[ VERSE 1: Hardhead ]
I heard the expression `a dog is a man`s best friend`
But I grew up thinkin it was a woman
But I had to learn the hard way
Never thought I`d see the day I`d be sleepin on the subway
But that`s the path she chose
The next day I arose still kickin the same clothes
I had to make a decision
Even though I lost her my friends still gave me recognition
Bein recognized by the guys
Wasn`t a surprise, you see, cause they`re my homies
And with them I get nuff respect (nuff respect)
When I was down they were there
When I didn`t have, they were more than happy to share
Inside I feel the pains trapped
I don`t feel she dissed me but I feel I got a bum rap
The guys knew what I was thinkin of
The only thing to cure an old love was a new love
A ghetto love
[ VERSE 2: Hardhead ]
It`s 3 o`clock, I`m hungry and I`m cold
I wanna call her but she`s even changed area codes
Was it that bad, what I did?
To hell with it, I go to my man`s crib
Oh, his name is Bezo
The type of power only friendship could bestow
I ring his bell and he`s alarmed
And I`m greeted in with open arms
The next day, a different routine
I`m caught drinkin on a public scene
I`m callin my homies to come get me
Cause I know down they never let me
Free as a bird, once again I`m chillin
My homies ain`t rich, but to me they`re top-billin
Over, over again they`ve proven
Not even a jail cell can separate a real friend
It seems that our love as a crew gets better and better
We stick as a posse like a stamp to a letter
What`s theirs is mines, what`s mines is theirs
Cause in this ghetto love game we play fair
I`m unspoiled by success
Even though God`s blessed they`re still not impressed
The way they once treated me they still treat me
It`s nothin different now cause I`m makin a little money
Like when we hang, rumbles still continue
Puttin heads out is still on our menu
We`ll go to war in a heartbeat
And I never went to war and they ran out and left me
We`re all about one for all and all for one
And if it`s more than one you better have more than one gun
The only sleep that outlasts love is death
And we`ll hang until one of us takes the last breath
How close can a clan of man be?
That one partner`s pain is his posse`s mysery?
We say they come a dime a dozen
But I`ve been turned on by my own so-called cousins
Is the blood we shed really thicker than water?
If it is, then maybe you oughta
Witness
A ghetto love
I`ma always have my homies
They gon` see me in the cold, or hunger
or just out there driftin, whatever
All my homies around the way in the South Bronx
Jason, Shawn, my man Jim-Jim, the whole posse
Those who I miss, you know who you are
[Name], Bezo, Lucky
The official crew, y`all know
The same crew that always goes through
the rain and the shine
Peace
