Lyrics

Make a song with these Lyrics about my cousin and three great friends. Somehow two cats, but very different lives, Found out he was my cousin, no surprise. Made sense with no fussing through the years, I'd die for him, he calms all my fears. He showed me my way, I'm grateful and true, I love him no matter what time we go through. He’s got my back, loves me to the end, Maybe wonder why my parents never had me then. But it doesn't matter, I’m fifty today, Thrifty not broke, humble in every way. No judgment from my cousin, I’m free to be me, He saw what I was, what I’m meant to be. Ready to ride because he’s my fam, Blessed through the struggles, together we stand. He saw so much even in the Mustang’s ride, Almost died, but my cousin stayed by my side. Thankful for him, loves unconditionally, So lucky he’s part of my family. Where was he when times were rough? Ray, I love you, your lessons enough. Priceless wisdom, your guiding light, Without you, I’d be lost in the night. No judgment from my cousin, I’m free to be me, He saw what I was, what I’m meant to be. Ready to ride because he’s my fam, Blessed through the struggles, together we stand.Thank you for your love, your strength, your care, Ray, you’re priceless beyond compare. I love you deeply, forever my kin, With you beside me, I’m ready to win. [Verse] Back on the day I met this guy, A crip he wasn’t very fly. There it was a skinny, he looked alright, Wearing a Starter jacket, oh my, oh my. [Chorus] Spicy, he’s gonna jack that guy, He punked him, he now cries. No jacket, he now cold, Hubba Dee say, "Spicy, you’re so bold." [Verse] Stop jacking white kids, you’re so god damn bold, What’s next, on to some cars to rob? Spicy and Hubba, a team that don’t get old, Now on to zoom zooms, make that dough. [Chorus] Break white boys, don’t forget them girlies, Break their backs and pocketbooks, oh please. Oh no! It’s time to go to jail, Look out Spicy, you don’t look like Sisco. [Bridge] No thong song, but Hubba is your backup, I got the done, so better not mess up. Taking risks on the streets we ride, Together as one, side by side. [Outro] Back on the day when it all began, Spicy and Hubba, the city’s own plan. Through ups and downs, they stand tall, In the urban jungle, they conquer all. Hey Ant, this one's comin' straight from my soul Fifty years deep, I've got some truths to unfold Through the highs and the lows, you stood by my side Unbreakable bond, on this journey we've ride Lookin' back now, I see the shadows I've cast Arrogance, pride, a facade that didn't last But you saw the real me, through all of my flaws Unconditional love, without any pause Hey Ant, brother, you’ve been my steady light Through storms and the darkest of nights Your loyalty’s priceless, your heart’s been my shield In this life’s battlefield, your love never yields I know the world judged me, misunderstood my ways But you never questioned, you stood through the maze Shared laughter with Steph, memories with Angela too In your quiet strength, I always knew It’s hard for me to show respect or let walls fall But your care has been true, the greatest gift of all Hey Ant, brother, you’ve been my steady light Through storms and the darkest of nights Your loyalty’s priceless, your heart’s been my shield In this life’s battlefield, your love never yields Now at fifty, I appreciate what’s real The honest, the loyal, the way that you feel You’ve been my rock, my brother, my man I’m grateful for you, like only true friends canSo here’s to you, Ant, from the depth of my heart A lifetime of love that won’t drift apart Though words come late, they’re forever true I’m forever connected, brother, to you [Intro] Well, it's been a long road since '95, Let me tell you a story 'bout my wild life, Me and my brother, we crossed some lines, In the heart of the past, among troubled times. [Verse 1] Boyd was his name, a force to beware, Not a man you'd challenge or toy with care. He did some things that I barely believed, Actions that haunted, a tale to grieve. [Chorus] Oh, the days we went down reckless roads, With paper clips and electric codes, Brothers tied by love and strife, Paying dearly for a troubled life. [Verse 2] One day at work, I played a fool, Boyd came in, called me a tool. My Mustang roared down the lonely mile, Pager ringing, tears in my smile. [Pre-Chorus] He needed me then, said "Please come back," I asked him, "Boy, what did you crack?" A secret dark, with a shocking blow, Paper clips in sockets, I didn't know. [Chorus] Oh, the days we went down reckless roads, With paper clips and electric codes, Brothers tied by love and strife, Paying dearly for a troubled life. [Bridge] He hurt a friend, and chaos fell, Ten years prison, a living hell. I loved my brother, but drew the line, This tangled story’s all mine. [Break] Now I’m out, but scars remain, Lessons learned through pain and blame, I’m a wanderer lost in fate’s game, With memories calling my name.
