Lean

[Verse 1]

I'ma warn ya

In your circle don't mean that they in your corner

Almost was a goner, 10 years for marijuana

Only thing I ever said in court

"I plead the fifth," "Hell no," and "No, your honor"

So the streets honor me, humble, believe I'm on it

I grab my momma, I'm headed to a different genre

They couldn't understand me, now I find it ironic

I grew up with Big L, all I knew was ebonics

Jealousy, crack, greed, homicide and chronic

Where niggas catch a body, changed their name like the Sonics

It was hot like Phoenix

I used to look up at the Lennox Ave sign hold my heart and pledge allegiance

Drama 15 years straight, nothing recent

But I'ma call the state for back pay, they owe me grievance

And you can't knock that, block the block with the top that

Open up that Fanta, I got that

[Chorus]

Lean on me, when you're not strong

I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on

For It won't be long, til im gonna need

Somebody to lean on

[Verse 2]

Lowlifes with no knives, niggas is cutting throats

For that white like Tommy and green paper with the ghosts

That's power, I play my post, one day

You're the best thing since sliced bread, the next day you're toast

I can never be toast, hell no

I get money in lump sums, yea, I like my bread by the loaf

I like head by the coast, as I stare at the pacific

She asked if I liked it, "Keep going girl, you're terrific"

Yeah baby, see I'm Clyde and I'm looking for a Bonnie, mami

To get a Gucci ghost, watch rings from Avianne

I share my wealth, humble beginnings, hunger strangled us

Pops had a choice, me or drugs, he chose angel dust (damn)

And the mother, some was living more dangerous

Tax season, the only time they was claiming us

Picture it like Kodak, this bracelet you could hold that

If I'm needed, know that you can

[Chorus]

Lean on me, when you're not strong

I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on

For It won't be long, til im gonna need

Somebody to lean on
