BJ the Chicago Kid
Used to Be My Homie
Gangsta Gibbs baby
[Hook: Freddie Gibbs & BJ The Chicago]
And if you don't know bout it (if you don't know bout it)
Then you better ask somebody (better ask somebody)
Hunnid thousand dollars in my motor man
I'm boutta blow past somebody (ooh)
The way I came in the game ain't a shame, it's a miracle (it's a miracle)
And Imma shine on my name do it big, for my n***as (ooh)
[Verse 1: Freddie Gibbs]
Used to be my homie
Now he actin' like he don't know me
Used to come back to back with the matchin' chrome homie
Seventeen years old with a pocket full of stones on me
Yeah, doin everything the wrong way
Say homie I was in my own way
So a n***a had to go his own way
Hurt your heart when you see my video, hear my song play
Danger, old homeboys is like strangers
I feel like they're scared to grow up
And theyself changes
N***as front on me and say
*Freddie nobody changes*
I tell 'em you're goddamn right
I got my change up
Everyday I change up with stranger bitches in the stripclub
Trickin', I'm changed
Change, don't listen
You might lose a couple homies on your journey to a million
But your homies need to pay their position
Stay out their feelings
[Hook: Freddie Gibbs & BJ The Chicago Kid]
And if you don't know bout it (if you don't know bout it)
Then you better ask somebody (better ask somebody)
Hunnid thousand dollars in my motor man
I'm boutta blow past somebody (ooh)
The way I came in the game ain't a shame, it's a miracle (it's a miracle)
And Imma shine on my name do it big, for my n***as (ooh)
[Verse 2: Freddie Gibbs]
Used to be my homie
Now she actin' like she don't know me
Chuck my dope in the Honda
She was down for me
Even when I sleep with them hoes
She stuck around for me
She said we doin' this the wrong way
How you expect us to grow when we in our own way
So naturally I expect her to go her own way
Wonder how she feel when she out and hear my song play
Danger, we don't talk we like strangers
How we go from oh so close to like strangers
My fault, I took that loss to chase paper
My mindset was 'fuck these hoes'
I can't save 'em
Yeah, miss the way she used to smile for me
Rob a package, take that package outta town for me
Chuck my dope in the Honda
She was down for me
Wish she could've stuck around for me
Stay down for me
[Hook: Freddie Gibbs & BJ The Chicago Kid]

[Reprise: BJ The Chicago Kid]
Everywhere that we go
Everything that we see
We can have it all if we just believe
Starts in our mind
Given space and time
Trust me, you will be fine (yeah)
[Hook: Freddie Gibbs & BJ The Chicago Kid]

And Imma shine on my name do it big, for my n***as tho
