Woodcrest Manor II
Lyrics
We used to be friends
On the street, you and me, 'til the sidewalk would end
With the windows rolled down and the cudi turned up
Yeah we did it all now, look at how it turned up
Everybody came down, everybody rolled up
Look at how we went, look at how we turned up
You whippin' that ba-[?]
Mercedes, super clean, that's what you champion
With the windows rolled down and the cognac turned up
Yeah we did it all now, look at how it turned up
Everybody came down, everybody rolled up
Look at how we went, look at how we turned up
See you can be salty like them fries you be supersizin'
The dark [?] the kids that be suicidin'
But who am I to be like Houdini and proof and [?] them?
Alladup-and holla wishes, and poof away all the problems
I know I used to deal with you
Your brother was the plug who had Tommys like Hilfiger
And you'd move up to white girls, poppin' them pills
Get you actin' wild, now you got face tats, plottin' to kill niggas
Nonetheless we was still niggas
The last one in your circle that's keepin' it real with you
Did you know that snakes in your circle would build with you?
And still slither, they plot for the day that the steels hits you
For good times, that's all I reminisce about my home, the good times
Yeah take me anywhere long as you show me the good times
Remember back at Woodcrest I would spit neighborhood rhymes
Would find the youngest, just like me probably would shine
Probably would shine
Probably would shine
Probably would, probably would, probably would
We used to be friends
On the street, you and me, 'til the sidewalk would end
With the windows rolled down and the cudi turned up
Yeah we did it all now, look at how it turned up
Everybody came down, everybody rolled up
Look at how we went, look at how we turned up
