Coolio F- Montell Jordan Homeboy Lyrics

Homeboy Lyrics

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: 

 Now I done met a lot of haters in my lifetime 

 That I would of smoked if i would of had a Tek 9 

 But, here I stand as a man, and I'm free to say 

 I'm hella glad that my momma didn't raise me that way 

 And the homies I grew up with 

 Locs I threw up with 

 Is the kind of fools that you don't want to buck with 

 Why does it seem that the good brothers die 

 And the evil brothers live 

 And prosper and multiply 

 Pass the Hennessey to the left hand side 

 Want some many dirt for the homies that expired 

 I hope you rest in peace 

 And, when it's time for my release 

 I'll meet you at the crossroads dippin in the low-low 

 But, until then I'ma keep my rolls slow 

 My flow on tight, and stay rollin with the 4-0 

 This is comin from the one and only 

 And like MC Shan said, "I'll never leave you lonely" 

 Chorus: Coolio, Montell Jordan 

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

 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 3: 

 Me and you is like family 

 And everybody know that we go back to back 

 And we go toe to toe 

 Comin from the west 

 Where the sets run thick 

 Where brothers either bang or try to make a grip 

 I cross my heart and hope to die 

 I never lie 

 I run out on mine 

 Anywhere or anytime 

 Me and my homies don't get involved with that he say, she say 

 But, if you've lost you'll recieve a ass whippin with your instant 

 replay 

 Or, deckin like Tekken 

 So, show some respect when respect is given to you 

 And, watch out for the forty too 

 Fake curve 

 And fools who got the nerve 

 To pretend that they was down 

 When last month they wadn't even around 

 West coast, East coast, and worldwide 

 My homies in the pen, and my homies that lived and died 

 I'm still the same little nappy head brother from the eastside 

 And, you can call me homeboy 

 Chorus: Coolio, Montell Jordan 

 I don't fly on air or walk on water (Or walk on water, 

 ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) 

 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 

 (If I got a quarter then you got a dime) 

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

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

 (Watch my back, then I'll watch yours, yours) 

 You can call me homeboy (Call me homeboy) 

 I don't fly on air, walk on water (Iiii, don't walk on water, no) 

 You can count on me till the end (Count on me till the end, oh-yeah) 

 Thick and thin (Thick and thin) 

 You can call me homeboy (Call me homeboy) 

 If I got a quarter then you got a dime 

 (If I got a quarter then you got a dime) 

 And, you can call me up no matter what the time 

 (Call me up no matter what the time) 

 If you (If you) 

 (Watch my back, I'll watch yours, yours) 

 You can call me homeboy (Call me homeboy) 

 (You can call me homeboy, boy, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) 

 (I got your back, ooh-ooh-ooh) 

 (You can call me homeboy) 

 (You can call me homeboy)
