[Verse 1]
What happened, my n***a?
We were laughing, my n***a
We were on our own
They were casting stones
As you were, dancing, my n***a

[Verse 2]
Your father’s taxi in the alleys you met me in
Voices you heard but you would never let me in
Hospitals you sat in, the nurses they left me with

[Bridge]
And I was right where you are, but this hood tore us apart
I don’t blame you for losing your heart

[Chorus]
Are you lonely, my n***a?
Need a homie, my n***a?
The voices that are cheering aren’t for you, listen closely, my n***a

[Verse 3]
And when the boy came, you drew to the stage
And maybe you thought it would take it away
But all that it did was platform the pain
And I was right where you are, but this hood tore us apart
I don't blame you for losing your heart
And I was right where you are, but this hood tore us apart
I don't blame you for losing your heart
