Let me tell y'all a story
About somebody that I used to know
But for right now
We just gonna call him Joey
We'll call it "Joey story" for right now
Huh, huh
And I can't go back
Joey woke up one morning, he was tired of the world
He was tired of the dreams that he saw (tired of the dreams that he saw)
He lived in the city in Cali
But now he in debt 'cause of all of the shit he done bought ('cause of all of the shit he done bought)
He tired just lookin' to God and
He losin' his faith 'cause of all of the problems he fought ('cause of all of the problems he fought)
Powerful nigga who really tryna care for his kids
And he fightin' cases in court (a nigga just fightin' indictments)
He tired of talks with his therapist, doctor ain't sayin' shit
Plus he ain't heard it before (he ain't heard that shit)
Walked outside in the middle of fall, so it's windy as soon as he open the door
He tired of the world and tired of the dreams he done saw
So he don't wanna be here no more (don't wanna be here no more)
He hopped in his car and he gave a homeless man a dollar
The first one he seen in the store (the first one he seen outside)
One more call to his kids, he told 'em he loved 'em
And that's when he drove to a park (that's when he drove to a park)
He left his car on side of the highway, right on the curb
He ain't even put it in park (he ain't even put it in park)
Nobody really got love for you, Joey
If somebody did they'd tell you to stop (they'd tell you to stop)
He found him a bench and he sat on it
Took him a moment to breathe and he pulled out a Glock (took him a moment to breathe)
Took one look at the sky
That's when he felt that shit deep down in his heart (deep down in his heart)
Nobody really got love for you
If somebody did they would've been here from the start (they would've been there)
Joey was tired of the world
He was tired of the dreams that he saw and he wished he was dead (wished he was dead)
He cocked the pistol back and put that bitch up to his chin
And then he put one in his own head
In that one moment, he threw it away (in that one moment)
In that one moment, he gave up on all of his family and kids and threw 'em away (he threw 'em away)
Forget about all of the shit that you been through
Worry 'bout shit that you go through today (worry 'bout shit that you go through today)
It's sad how niggas will go through the most in they life
But then sit there and say they okay (come on)
Ronnie woke up one morning, he was tired of the world
He was tired of the dreams that he saw (nigga, long live Ronnie)
He lived in the city in Cali, but now he in debt 'cause of all of the shit he done bought (huh)
His light bill due and his kids out livin' they life
So he don't wanna be here no more (nigga don't wanna be here no more)
My big brother had died from depression
It's sad 'cause how I ain't see it before? (Nigga, how I ain't see it before?)
Uh, and long live Ronnie, nigga
