Homies - Lighter Shade Of Brown

Verse: 1 ( ODM ) 
Well you ask me what the definition of a homie is 
A friend till the end  but some start when you're kids 
Little traviesos that are always into something 
Doing something bad acting like they did nothing 
Well here's a little story about a homie named frankie 
Had another little homie that was down for hanky panky 
Sort of like Spanky and Alfalfa  Little Rascals 
Doing what they doing getting away without a hassle 
Like going to the schoolyard for your late passes to class 

Cutting in lunch lines leaving other students last 
And strolling to the movies to see a rated "R" 
When mom's dropped them off it's where E.T. would be the star 

Stealing was an issue that just could not be ignored 
Taking tapes and 45's from the local record store 
Being good kids to them was nothing but bologna 
Cause this is what you do when it's you and your homies 

Chorus 

Verse: 2 ( DTTX ) 

My situation with my homies wasn't all fun 
sometimes bad sometimes sad, but had to have one 
I wouldn't change it for a thing cause it's priceless 
Your homies are your down, yup! Can I get a righteous 
As kids, we saw and we did what most kids never did 
Took my first swig chilling at my homies crib 
Searching for ways, so that we could make presidents 
Life was hard beign a product of my residence 
But me beign the youngest, I had to stay strong 
Mom's was my teacher cause Pop's was already gone 
Hung out in the streets doing my own thing 
Living in the barrio, but I never gangbanged 
Coming up was a must, growing up with who I grew up 
I found out just who I can trust 
Me, Myself, and I not fronting like a phony 
I'm true to the game and I
