BREAK-fast - Devin the Dude

I needed a loaf of bread

Milk and eggs

Store’s right around the corner, guess I’ll walk instead

Saw a crack head lookin' half dead

Creepin', just got through sleepin' in the trap bed

But 'round here, dope fiends come a dime a dozen

Got near, realized, «Aw shit, that’s my cousin»

Man, I ain’t even know that was you

Here’s a couple of dollars

Go get something to eat, holler

He started to follow and calling me

But a car pulled up, jammin'

My homie Z who just robbed the flea market

Got out and shot a nigga, now he’s a target

As I get to the store, before I open the door

Weed smoke’s in the air as the cold wind blow

I needed the zip, I made a ten feet trip

To the nigga that was smoking one-deep in his whip

«Where it’s at, homie?»

He pulled a gat on me

Oh, that’s how you gonna act, Tony?

He gave me two grams, maybe closer to three

Then I walked inside for my groceries

And in the corner, bending over by the ice cream

For a pint, kind of nice with some tight jeans

Told her, «Give me some «She said, «Nigga, you can give me two-fifty a month»

I laughed, then I walked to the back

Saw a dude with some food, putting it all in the sack

He said, «Shh»

I said, «Shit, huh, got nothing to do with that, nigga, you the rat»

I got the cheese, got my eggs and milk

Took it to the counter, paid for it then peeled

You know somebody got killed in that short of a time

Laid out, body bloody with a bottle of wine

People all in the line

Hollerin' and cryin'

But this type of shit happen all of the time

I tried to pay it no mind

Walking back to the house

Saw a young brother with some crack in his mouth

Getting his serve on

Pistol in his front pocket with no shirt on

From out of nowhere, somebody snatched his gun

Started busting at him, couldn’t do nothing but run

Had to duck, got the fuck up, out of there (I'm out of there)

Bullets flying everywhere right by my ear

I hit the grass, held my bag real tight

But something just didn’t feel right

But I made it to the porch finally

Looked back, the coast was clear behind me

I got my key, had to flee inside my crib

I can’t believe this is how I live

Can’t cry over spilled milk

Busted up a half a dozen of eggs but I forgot to get the bread

Damn, damn, I forgot to get my bread

Gotta go back to the s… motherfucking store to get my bread

Huh
