Hey Homie Lyrics - Singles - Rob "cleva" Lightbourne

Chorus: 

Hey homie listen everything will be alright 

Just try to keep your head up high 

I know you done struggled through this life but 

We're goin' make it through this one day (x2) 

Verse: 

So many years of being piers and seeing tears shed between the two of us 

When me and you were just some youngsters who never knew that much 

You had a year on me, but we're still the same sign 

You came in 78' and I came in 79' 

My mama was like your mama, your mama was like mine 

All they knew was church, all we knew was to write rhymes 

Big dreams and little money schemes kept us going 

Through times when I was sportin' the same 3 pair of jeans mobbin' 

Block to block bus stop to bust stop 

Spittin' freestyles and trading off on beat box 

John Cobbs young Rob road dogs forever 

Way before the Jon Jon and Cleva 

I remember when you hooked up with this fly Filipino chick 

Who had an older sister who you wound up hooking me up with 

And everything was fine 

I was in the next room with her getting dome for the first time 

It was on. Just about to bust when her poppa came home 

Heard you holler, "come on" I was gone 

Zipping up while we're running up the street trying to get away 

Damn, I miss those better days 

Cause it seems that as we got older 

Every day that passed seemed to get a little bit colder but hold up 

I'ma keep this head up over my shoulders 

In hopes to try to make it through for the both of us 

Chorus: 

Hey homie listen everything will be alright 

Just try to keep your head up high 

I know you done struggled through this life but 

We're goin' make it through this one day (x2) 

Verse: 

N---as are grown now, shit is so different 

You got a wife and a family ain't no time to kick it 

9-5 barely getting you by got you stressing 

Alcohol and nicotine helping deal with depression 

This is 12 years later, ain't much changed 

For the better suicidal thoughts stay on my brain 

Wrote a letter to the Almighty 

Told him on many days I swear He just don't like me. Cause this is cold shit 

But if he let's me borrow tomorrow then I'ma take this 

Pain and sorrow turn it to muscle and hustle through this struggle 

No point to breathing if I ain't goin' live 

Can't complain if I haven't given all I can give 

Many days I look back to a time when life was just 

A rhyme and hood rats, wish I could push back 

The clock and make it lock from 94' to 95' 

Better days in this life for both you and I 

But the truth is we gotta strive through this 

Leave the past behind and try to accomplish new shit 

My n---a, my dog, my ace 

My homeboy, my comrade for life 

Cause it seems that as we got older 

Every day that passed seemed to get a little bit colder but hold up 

I'ma keep this head up over my shoulders 

In hopes to try to make it through for the both of us 

Chorus: 

Hey homie listen everything will be alright 

Just try to keep your head up high 

I know you done struggled through this life but 

We're goin' make it through this one day (x2)
