A homeboy is somebody that got your back 
Whether you right or wrong 
Somebody that excepts you for what you are 
Not what you got on  what you can do for them 

If you lucky enough to have some then 
You know what I'm talkin bout 

Friends  how many of us have them 
And not that many 
The chances of meeting someone these days you can trust is skinny 
But  it seems there really ain't a damn thing you can do 

'Cause since the seventies, it seems everybody been rolling with a crew 
A team, a gang, a posse, or some type-a click 
And if your firm ain't thick 
Then your squad becomes vixed 

Be extra careful or the ones you call your partna 
'Cause what they really is, is a busta out to rob ya 
And, be weary of strangers bearing your God and gifts 
And a wolf in sheeps clothing 

'Cause some of y'all ain't knowing 
Me and you go back like roaches in the projects 
And, we done been through things they still ain't even thought of yet 
A good homie is hard to come by 

But most times you get done by the ones you trust most 
So, I gotta raise a toast 
To my tried and tested, and straight up for real dose 
Pour yourself some exol, this ones here for you, loc 

[Chorus]
I don't fly on air, walk on water (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) 
Uh, but, I'm damn sure your partner (Ooh-ooh-ooh) 
You can count on me to the end (Oh-yeah) 
Thick and thin, nigga 
You can call me homeboy (You can call me homeboy) 
If I got a quarter, then you got a dime (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) 
And, you can call me up no matter what the time (Ooh-ooh-ooh) 
If you watch my back, then I'll watch yours, nigga 
You can call me homeboy (Call me homeboy) 

Now I done met a lot of haters in my lifetime 
That I would of smoked if i would of had a Tek 9 
But, here I stand as a man, and I'm free to say 
I'm hella glad that my momma didn't raise me that way 

And the homies I grew up with 
Locs I threw up with 
Is the kind of fools that you don't want to buck with 
Why does it seem that the good brothers die 

And the evil brothers live 
And prosper and multiply 
Pass the Hennessey to the left hand side 
Want some many dirt for the homies that expired 

I hope you rest in peace 
And, when it's time for my release 
I'll meet you at the crossroads dippin in the low-low 
But, until then I'ma keep my rolls slow 

My flow on tight, and stay rollin with the 4-0 
This is comin from the one and only 
And like MC Shan said, "I'll never leave you lonely" 

[Chorus] 

Me and you is like family 
And everybody know that we go back to back 
And we go toe to toe 
Comin' from the west 

Where the sets run thick 
Where brothers either bang or try to make a grip 
I cross my heart and hope to die 
I never lie 

I run out on mine 
Anywhere or anytime 
Me and my homies don't get involved with that he say, she say 
But, if you've lost you'll receive a ass whippin with your instant replay 

Or, deckin like Tekken 
So, show some respect when respect is given to you 
And, watch out for the forty too 
Fake curve 

And fools who got the nerve 
To pretend that they was down 
When last month they wadn't even around 
West coast, East coast, and worldwide 

My homies in the pen, and my homies that lived and died 
I'm still the same little nappy head brother from the eastside 
And, you can call me homeboy 

[Chorus] 

If I got a quarter then you got a dime 
(If I got a quarter then you got a dime) 
And, you can call me up no matter what the time (Ooh-ooh-ooh) 
If you watch my back, then I'll watch yours 

(Watch my back, then I'll watch yours, yours) 
You can call me homeboy (Call me homeboy) 
I don't fly on air, walk on water (Iiii, don't walk on water, no) 
You can count on me till the end (Count on me till the end, oh-yeah) 

Thick and thin (Thick and thin) 
You can call me homeboy (Call me homeboy) 
If I got a quarter then you got a dime 
(If I got a quarter then you got a dime) 

And, you can call me up no matter what the time 
(Call me up no matter what the time) 
If you (If you) 
(Watch my back, I'll watch yours, yours) 

You can call me homeboy (Call me homeboy) 
(You can call me homeboy, boy, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) 
(I got your back, ooh-ooh-ooh) 
(You can call me homeboy) 
(You can call me homeboy)
