You Were Never There

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Bukshot] Everybody always needs a best friend To help 'em through the struggle in this world full of sin Ride with 'em all the way to the end Thick and thin and again and again Check it (check it) Yeah my homies name is Tim Friends since birth that's all I know it's how it's been Lately, I've been disagreeing with him Cause his attitude sucks, I ain't doing this again Two of the same share a body and name (body and name) Shared the same bed forever but two different brains (two different brains) I'm the fucked up way of thinking swerving lanes while you try to act right, I'm crooked and deranged (and deranged) I needed help trying to stay off the path You was trying to walk straight, I done figured the math (the math) I needed help, you continued to laugh Call me crazy, I hit 'em, now stay off my grass [Chorus] You were never there (oh) You were never there for me You were never there (oh) You were never there for me Every time I walk through the door like baby You would always drive yourself crazy You were never there You were never there Never there for me [Verse 2: Bukshot] When we was kids we would steal from the store Run off together (run off together), divide up the score (divide up the score) Get in fights every night, you was never a whore (a whore) We drop 'em in a second, put they face on the floor (face on the floor) Mom and daddy used to raise us in church In tough times you was always down for snatching a purse (snatching a purse) Then they died and we followed the hearse We fought the pain off, you and I verse after verse (verse after verse) Joined a gang and we climbed up the ranks Bandanas on our face, was pulling hits with shanks (with shanks) Like some bosses gave a fuck what they think Selling big dope, laughing all the way to the bank Yeah Went to prison, was a thug there too Writing rhymes, did our time, spilled blood there too (blood there too) Must've forgot about me homie that's cool, too bad You're stuck with me like a tattoo [Chorus] You were never there (oh) You were never there for me You were never there (oh) You were never there for me Every time I walk through the door like baby You would always drive yourself crazy You were never there You were never there Never there for me (never there for me, never there for me, never there for me, never there for me, never there for me) [Verse 3: Bukshot] Now hold up I done heard everything you said It's rough tryna reason with the voices in my head You made a few points but it's hard to agree The way that I see it, you were never there for me (never there for me) I tried to fly straight but you kept me off the road The drama that you made always worsened the load Wouldn't a went to prison but you pushed me cause you're cocky Blinded by your greed, you could see the time it cost me Said you love the kids and while we sell dope Coulda worked another job instead we slung coke (slung coke) All them times that we had to pull guns I'd rather walk away and there was times I'd even run I wanted to live (wanted to live), you wanted to die (wanted to die) And all you ever cared about in life was your pride Before you throw rocks, take a good look at you Cause the truth, you were never there for me too [Chorus] You were never there (oh) You were never there for me You were never there (oh) You were never there for me Every time I walk through the door like baby You would always drive yourself crazy You were never there You were never there Never there for me (for me)
