[00:00.720][Verse 1]
[00:01.110]I'ma warn ya
[00:02.890]In your circle don't mean that they in your corner
[00:05.310]Almost was a goner, 10 years for *********
[00:07.740]Only thing I ever said in court
[00:09.830]"I plead the fifth," "Hell no," and "No, your honor"
[00:13.790]So the streets honor me, humble, believe I'm on it
[00:16.880]I grab my momma, I'm headed to a different genre
[00:21.440]They couldn't understand me, now I find it ironic
[00:24.620]I grew up with Big L, all I knew was ebonics
[00:27.900]Jealousy, crack, greed, homicide and chronic
[00:31.990]Where ****** catch a body, changed their name like the Sonics
[00:35.330]It was hot like Phoenix
[00:37.020]I used to look up at the Lennox Ave sign hold my heart and pledge allegiance
[00:39.750]Drama 15 years straight, nothing recent
[00:44.340]But I'ma call the state for back pay, they owe me grievance
[00:48.980]And you can't knock that, block the block with the top that
[00:52.130]Open up that Fanta, I got that
[00:54.040][Chorus]
[00:54.800]Lean on me, when you're not strong
[00:57.080]I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
[01:09.030]For It won't be long, til im gonna need
[01:16.970]Somebody to lean on
[01:19.950][Verse 2]
[01:22.610]Lowlifes with no knives, ****** is cutting throats
[01:26.070]For that white like Tommy and green paper with the ghosts
[01:29.630]That's power, I play my post, one day
[01:31.280]You're the best thing since sliced bread, the next day you're toast
[01:35.140]I can never be toast, hell no
[01:38.490]I get money in lump sums, yea, I like my bread by the loaf
[01:41.310]I like head by the coast, as I stare at the pacific
[01:44.440]She asked if I liked it, "Keep going girl, you're terrific"
[01:49.350]Yeah baby, see I'm Clyde and I'm looking for a Bonnie, mami
[01:54.030]To get a Gucci ghost, watch rings from Avianne
[01:57.080]I share my wealth, humble beginnings, hunger strangled us
[02:00.510]Pops had a choice, me or drugs, he chose angel dust (damn)
[02:03.420]And the mother, some was living more dangerous
[02:06.760]Tax season, the only time they was claiming us
[02:10.570]Picture it like Kodak, this bracelet you could hold that
[02:13.780]If I'm needed, know that you can
[02:15.610][Chorus]
[02:16.010]Lean on me, when you're not strong
[02:22.110]I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
[02:30.180]For It won't be long, til im gonna need
[02:38.760]Somebody to lean on
[02:39.250]
