Poor Company - Billy Woods

Said every name 'fore they even put the squeeze

Friends like these, who needs enemies?

Got the news?

Old Earth fell to her knees

Polished the shoes, I got the suit dry cleaned

Family tight-lipped, but I heard it was lean

Wig flipped when I seen his daughter’s seventeen

Sad shit, but if we bein' real

Your dad was a prick

Lie, cheat, steal

Anything from him, best double check on your own scale

Rumors were he snitched

Depends who you believe

Either way, that’s two bits you can take or leave

Instead, mumble something about space and grieve

All I can muster, old hustler tired of the hustle

Going out like Iverson chuckling

Brick after brick, rip guitar lick

The box cutter went, then he dipped

Jill sprung Jack out on bail

Then they skipped through strawberry fields

Wore it out, two days straight up in the motel

Then he left while she slept

Money out the purse

It’s an old story, I just changed a couple words

You don’t matter at all (yah yah yah)

You don’t matter at all (yah yah yah)

You don’t matter at all (yah yah yah)

You don’t matter at all (yah yah yah)

You don’t matter at all (yah yah yah)

You don’t matter at all (you don’t matter at all)

You don’t matter at all (you don’t matter at all)

You don’t matter at all (you don’t matter at all)

She barkin' the highest damp iris

Rushing out in the flesh self-righteous

New breath, same old missteps trodden

you wanna do me grinding

Time canceled out in dream

Black yakky rhyme weave, HD full screen

Side piece, peat leak, coconut cream

Ocean aquatic, back in the pocket

Dove leaves

At the core, rotten

Somethings all talking shit at the club

Grips tighter, straw man in the mire

Eyes up, Spun the wheel of life

Want the knife before my yarn’s cut (eyes up)

I want the knife

No way, no way

No way, no way

Can’t put the blame on me

Shame on you

And you lost face and it seemed so strange

No wonder you never been the same

No way, no way

No way, no way

Can’t put the blame on me

Shame on you

And you lost face and it seemed so strange

No wonder you never been the same

Story night late December

Fate of a friendship surrendered

Heard it through the hallway

«Dad can I crash at «He took long to respond

«Come on», «Now don’t start

Promise me no drinks, no drugs, and no pot»

Commerce what we got, car for a start

Hit the park for the onslaught

Hopped the wall of Montgomery

Never thought my best friend would become poor company

Rolled up, oh fuck, yo, steam the leaf it’s an old dutch took a puff

Perfectly salvaged smoke rising, Deciding the night’s tactic

Hit the two to the one and he’s got a free crib Franklin and Varick?

Dope

Open the door circle of seven chicks playing through the

Mad blow mad drinks all sitting on the floor

Swooped in sat down

Hit the coke like snow plow

Slam three shots leaned over told him slow down

'bout an hour later, hit the ground face blue face down

What to do, who to call, and to say how

EMT and his dad on their way now

Thank God that he came out -- unscathed

I’ll forever remember that shakedown (I'll forever remember that shakedown)

No way, no way

No way, no way

Can’t put the blame on me

Shame on you

And you lost face and it seemed so strange
