lyrics

He's the homie
she's the chick
always there for ya even take the hit
when the times get rough and ya feeling low
you can bet ya bottom dolla they be down fo sho

she's the homie
he's ya patna
best friends more like fam
and you know they got ya propa
in the grand scheme of things
they help you weed out the phonies
she's the homie...
he's the homie...




Now Jack knew Sara from around the way
they grew up in the same neighborhood back in the day
went to the same school
took the same bus and plus
they'd be playing in the neighborhood kids stuff and such

got they first connection between third and forth
summertime lounging made the illest tree forts
Sara lived with moms and had said her dad died
she didn't cry she said he was fighting for the right side

and likewise jack was calm as he said his dad left
wasn't man enough to be the man
his mom took the quest
Now a bond had been created that no one could ever break
Jack loved Sara he'd protect her make her safe

from elementary to middle school friends through adolescence
and it didn't get weird when they got all prepubescent
of course they hung with other friends but they'd always talk
even in high school they were still each other's rock

somebody to count on
not judge just support you
always down to lend a hand or give a heads up and warn you
ain't no fair weather friend
always there til the end
through the thick and thin
rain sleet or snow can ya dig?

He's the homie
she's the chick
always there for ya even take the hit
when the times get rough and ya feeling low
you can bet ya bottom dolla they be down fo sho

she's the homie
he's ya patna
best friends more like fam
and you know they got ya propa
in the grand scheme of things
they help you weed out the phonies
she's the homie...
he's the homie...

ya see Jack and Sara bonded long before it got ironic
and nobody thought it awkward the friendship was platonic
but one day in college Sara got a lil hammered
she was at a frat party getting drunk until she staggered

out the front yard and walked up to her 99 corolla
told her peops it was cool then she turned the engine over
couple blocks later she felt a bump in the ground
didn't think much about it til she heard the shrieking sound

of a scream in the distance that sounded like Jack
that's when she turned around and found him layin on his back
see she was supposed to pick him up from work nearby
he saw her driving up and then he raced outside

tried to wave her down and kind of ran into the street
she drove right through him and she didn't skip a beat
flat on his back jack was loopy feelin numb
couldn't feel his legs and he was losing lots of blood

ya see sara had a problem since her first year of college
got it from her dad side a long line of acoholics
got drunk a couple times after high school graduation
pretty soon every weekend she was now infactuated

Jack made an observation that she's drinking too much
she just shrugged him off, try to act like "so what?"
she's having fun getting dree
getting drunk being free
she said she had it under control don't worry bout me

so these friends started drifting while this girl kept on sipping
getting blitzed with her girls everyday she was tripping
from kids to adults funny how life catapults cuz they were both full grown
and had always remained close

but that accident left Jack paralyzed
from the waist down
and he didn't think now
he could still be down
with Sara cuz of what she done did
his whole future was a mess while she got a month bid

from a DUI case because he didn't testify
even though it came close to vehicular homicide
Every night Sara cried with remorse she was damaged
but that's what happens when you take friends for granted

He's the homie
she's the chick
always there for ya even take the hit
when the times get rough and ya feeling low
you can bet ya bottom dolla they be down fo sho

she's the homie
he's ya patna
best friends more like fam
and you know they got ya propa
in the grand scheme of things
they help you weed out the phonies
she's the homie...
he's the homie...
