Corey

How could you hate the only brother that you never had?

I don't take it personal, I promise I ain't never mad

I could love you from a distance, I ain't gotta see you

It might not be me, but somebody need you

Love don't disguise the evil

The summer comin', that mean bodies comin'

Youngin's 'round here don't respect you if you ain't body nothin'

I talked to Corey 'bout politics, know he probably frontin'

Even though we labelled minority, know somebody huntin'

Tryna avoid all the politics, Corey hated rumblin'

Temptations calling your name will turn you to David Ruffin

June 23rd, homie got cold, they killed his favorite cousin

Lawyer tried to give him options, he could not relate to nothin'

Corey had a homie that rapped, he told him come play him somethin'

Said he liked his music, it's different, he really sayin' somethin'

Corey had a job, but his homie was broke, tryna rap

His homie lived with his cousin, his homies bagged all kind of crack

Corey went home to his family on the daily

His homies had other **** around, he knew 'em barely

Corey naturally scary, so any issue, he calling his homie

His homie trapping for studio time, he walking only

Sometimes, he catch the train, every now and then, he'd get a cab

He got a gift, hundreds of thousands, it's written in his path

Corey too stuck in his ways to chase a dream

He'd much rather be content with his 9-5 and it seems

His homie is getting distant on him

The music got him away from the routine, so Corey said he got different on him

He heard his homie got signed by a legend

This the same **** he could call, leave his mama the message

That's the same homie you got jumped, told you ride with a weapon

Same homie that seen them ****, and told you don't care if I get arrested

Somehow, y'all lost touch, Corey constantly blame his homie

His homie tried to reach out, but Corey was actin' phoney

Actin' fake busy, guess he felt that would balance out

His homie working on his album, got no time to chat it out

He offered Corey a flight, said he could land by tonight

Corey replied "Shit, like maybe I might"

Corey pride took over, "I ain't lettin' this **** fly me out

I'd rather play the hood anyway, it's nothing to lie about"

He ain't tell his homie that, told his homie he'd call him back

A week passed, his homie recording, he still ain't called him back

His homie ain't even feel no type of way about it

They both from the bottom, his homie found a way up out it

Now the only way he see him is on Instagram

He don't like his pictures, his homie stay in a different land

People in Africa love him, homie got different fans

Who would've thought y'all have different plans from gettin' ran

Out the building when the police would come

Y'all was robbing the pizza man before the pizza was done

Corey homie had had a daughter, I think it start with a K

Corey ain't bought a gift for baby girl until this day

His homie on TV now, and Corey can see the crowds

His fans know every word, plus they repeatin' it loud

Homie nice with the fashion, he see him kill 'em with style

Corey starting to feel it, 'cause they ain't chilled in a while

Homie kept it in motion, ain't seen Corey in a minute

Homie got a hundred homies that's genuine, come with business

Homie always fuck with Corey, but music is what he want to do

Now when he be comin' through, he heard Corey be mumblin', too

Talkin' how the homie left, forgot about the family

And all he had to offer me was a flight to Miami

Corey struggling, but meanwhile, the homie paid

Homie got a crib, if it get dirty, homie get a maid

Corey envious, homie thinking, "If I was only paid"

Every time they say his name, Corey say, "That's my homie, Dave"
