True story
without the words "the only thing i learned in psychology is that men only take their shoes off where they're comfortable"
I may not have ever started making music

lyrics

Tommy got that gun that he’s been talking bout
You know good old tommy from the other side of town
You’ve seen him comin round with his old mans bruises
Talkin bout beatin some bitches down, they say he’s
Fightin pit bulls just for fun
Talkin in his sleep sayin run motha fucka run, I think
We should invite Tommy over sometime for
Blunts and tea…well
As you might have guessed my man Tommy’s kinda stressed
Cause he thinks bein a man means keeping anger in his chest, well
Silly silly boy looks like someones got your toy now back to the story I digress
Well Tommy calls up sayin he wants a front, two zip-o’s of the finest green
I hear you you came through just this week so I got you man we clean
Well deal gettin done he say check this out, pulls a pearl handle six shot from his draws
Oooo papi you livin above the law he says just in case and we pause

Well Tommy never got me that money he owed
Slipped ten G’s deep with a frosty nose
But I covered his shit about three weeks back so forget the debt it gooooes
Then he comes back through bout 3a.m. sayin I gotta pay you back for respect man to man
Take all the time you need, just please don’t make no sad sucka bleed

Nows he’s cryin on my shoulder sayin I slapped me girl
When she got fed up and flushed all my coke I
Can’t see through the smog of the city oh it’s
Gritty out here…god damned us but
The only thing I learned in psychology
Is that men only take their shoes off where they’re comfortable

Well I was trippin pretty hard so I took these words
Bare feet to the streets in a Philly morning son
Dropped out of school scared my mama to death
But I returned from the void with some fresh new breath, and to
Wrap things up with our Tommy friend
Betrayed by the cannon that he put in his hands
Tryna rob two kids of a fresh QP now that’s
25 to life for eight hundred dollars…not worth it man
