Maryland (interlude)

Remember how we used to push the lawnmowers all around this neighborhood, man?
 Just to get money 'cause niggas didn't want a real job and shit
 Soon as they gave us the money, we'd just go sit on our lawnmowers
 Get some weed out and just smoke that shit, play ball all day, man
 That was back in the day, man, shit
 And one time, my lawnmower just broke, we just left it in the woods and shit? Damn
 Thanksgiving day, Barry Sanders on the breakaway
 Early on, I went to his house, he came
 To mine, so we ate twice, Cornbread
 Turkey, wings, peas, and rice, we went in the shed
 That night with four bottles of 800 Ice
 I'm telling you by midnight, we was crazy nice
 Sharing the jack, my man gave me some advice
 Like, "Everything comes with a price
 And change the only guarantee in life, one day
 We might not be so tight" I was like, "Come on dude
 Always be me and you," but, inside
 I knew in some ways it was true he said
 "Be careful what you do 'cause that's what you are"
 And every day you open your eyes is the one to be thankful for
 'Cause everybody gets a lifetime, nothing less, nothing more, so before you step
 Be sure and know there's always a time for war
 But you can never really even the score
 Or see what's behind that door
 When I'm gone, just pour a little on the floor"
 Maryland, you're my life
 Yo, nigga always keeping wood for you, nigga, always, 'til we going to meet the man!
 Yo, you remember that time I was running, we was both running from the cops and shit
 And hopped that fence and I lost my backpack down in that grass and shit
 And I was scared to go back and shit 'cause it had mad weed in it
 And you just went back, I was just waiting for you on the porch and shit
 Like "Yo, this nigga probably got arrested"
 You came back with the bag
 And we just smoked the biggest fucking Philly you ever seen, nigga
