[00:02.94]You claim you're still bitter
[00:06.96]But I got the raw end of the deal
[00:07.86][ VERSE 1: Hardhead ]
[00:11.82]I heard the expression 'a dog is a man's best friend'
[00:14.85]But I grew up thinkin it was a woman
[00:17.40]But I had to learn the hard way
[00:19.41]Never thought I'd see the day I'd be sleepin on the subway
[00:22.95]But that's the path she chose
[00:25.05]The next day I arose still kickin the same clothes
[00:28.62]I had to make a decision
[00:30.69]Even though I lost her my friends still gave me recognition
[00:34.17]Bein recognized by the guys
[00:36.51]Wasn't a surprise, you see, cause they're my homies
[00:39.45]And with them I get nuff respect (nuff respect)
[00:45.42]When I was down they were there
[00:47.46]When I didn't have, they were more than happy to share
[00:50.34]Inside I feel the pains trapped
[00:53.34]I don't feel she dissed me but I feel I got a bum rap
[00:56.55]The guys knew what I was thinkin of
[00:58.65]The only thing to cure an old love was a new love
[01:04.77]A ghetto love
[01:05.46][ VERSE 2: Hardhead ]
[01:18.99]It's 3 o'clock, I'm hungry and I'm cold
[01:21.81]I wanna call her but she's even changed area codes
[01:24.54]Was it that bad, what I did?
[01:27.48]To hell with it, I go to my man's crib
[01:30.54]Oh, his name is Bezo
[01:31.83]The type of power only friendship could bestow
[01:35.79]I ring his bell and he's alarmed
[01:38.58]And I'm greeted in with open arms
[01:41.43]The next day, a different routine
[01:44.19]I'm caught drinkin on a public scene
[01:46.65]I'm callin my homies to come get me
[01:49.08]Cause I know down they never let me
[01:52.35]Free as a bird, once again I'm chillin
[01:54.93]My homies ain't rich, but to me they're top-billin
[01:57.78]Over, over again they've proven
[02:00.57]Not even a jail cell can separate a real friend
[02:03.72]It seems that our love as a crew gets better and better
[02:06.39]We stick as a posse like a stamp to a letter
[02:09.00]What's theirs is mines, what's mines is theirs
[02:11.85]Cause in this ghetto love game we play fair
[02:15.03]I'm unspoiled by success
[02:17.07]Even though God's blessed they're still not impressed
[02:20.55]The way they once treated me they still treat me
[02:23.04]It's nothin different now cause I'm makin a little money
[02:25.98]Like when we hang, rumbles still continue
[02:28.56]Puttin heads out is still on our menu
[02:31.74]We'll go to war in a heartbeat
[02:33.90]And I never went to war and they ran out and left me
[02:37.35]We're all about one for all and all for one
[02:39.60]And if it's more than one you better have more than one gun
[02:42.93]The only sleep that outlasts love is death
[02:45.45]And we'll hang until one of us takes the last breath
[02:48.21]How close can a clan of man be?
[02:50.52]That one partner's pain is his posse's mysery?
[02:53.94]We say they come a dime a dozen
[02:56.31]But I've been turned on by my own so-called cousins
[02:59.76]Is the blood we shed really thicker than water?
[03:02.58]If it is, then maybe you oughta
[03:04.29]Witness
[03:05.01]A ghetto love
[03:06.03]I'ma always have my homies
[03:06.69]They gon' see me in the cold, or hunger
[03:32.25]Or just out there driftin, whatever
[03:33.00]All my homies around the way in the South Bronx
[03:36.27]Jason, Shawn, my man Jim-Jim, the whole posse
[03:52.92]Those who I miss, you know who you are
[03:53.55][Name], Bezo, Lucky
[03:53.94]The official crew, y'all know
[03:56.25]The same crew that always goes through
[03:58.20]The rain and the shine

You claim you're still bitter
But I got the raw end of the deal
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
It's 3 o'clock, I'm hungry and I'm cold
I wanna call her but she's even changed area codes
