Yeah this one for my boy Blackbird This your boy Woodie homie Still down here struggling dog Be there in a minute It's me, Lil' Los, Shadow, Lou-e-Lou Lil' bird in this muthafucka too This dedicated to you homie Blackbird! Do you remember when I bought the seventy-five caprice glasshouse I came back to the Yoc after pullin' eight hundred cash out We took it to my pops shop... And sanded it down Got it sprayed apple green, we sixteen through the town That was when the click down-n-dirty album just dropped And that Mr. flamboyant made them by 9's knock We were dippin' so hard we had the wheel comin' off the ground Tryin' to peel every notch in town While attemptin' to keep the yoc locked down Any scraps we ran across we hopped out and got down Drinkin' forties, smokin' bammer, earnin' stripes was our life Buyin' any strap we could, what good was a knife? We was tryin' ta take 'em all out the game And at the same time have the hoes callin' our name We were naive and young... Maybe even dumb But there's nothin' like the feelin' when the respect come Cause many recognized we got down to business And very capable of leavin' enemies wigs split We was kids... showin' up to school the next day Like nothin' happened, it's all part of life in the bay... hey I guess our fathers bred some killaz But I'm still here and you're gone and I don't feel a Muthafuckin' thang of that, I wanna bring it back Blackbird!
