[Intro]
Let me tell y’all a story
About somebody that I used to know
But for right now
We just gon’ call him Joey
We’ll call it “Joey story” for right now
Huh, huh
And I can’t go back

[Verse]
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 s*it he done bought (‘Cause of all of the s*it he done bought)
He tired just looking to God and he losing his faith ’cause of all of the problems he fought (‘Cause of all of the problems he fought)
Powerful n!gga who really tryna care for his kids and he fighting cases in court (A n!gga just fighting indictments)
He tired of talking to his therapist, doctor ain’t saying s*it, plus he ain’t heard it before (He ain’t heard that s*it)
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 s*it 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 b!tch 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 s*it that you been through, worry ’bout s*it that you go through today (Worry ’bout s*it that you go through today)
It’s sad how n!ggas 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 (N!gga, long live Ronnie)
He lived in the city in Cali, but now he in debt ’cause of all of the s*it he done bought (Huh)
His light bill due and his kids out living they life, so he don’t wanna be here no more (N!gga 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? (N!gga, how I ain’t see it before?)

[Outro]

Uh and long live Ronnie, n!gga
