H.O.U.S.T.O.N.

When I first seen her she was meaner than hurricane Katrina
Had a lot of twist and turns like a ballerina
Have you seen her Lately?
She been looking down lost a couple pounds
But she’s still a fighter so she’s down to go a couple rounds
Just to get the victory, met her off of Victory
4−4, Acres Homes, ninth grade, picture me
Rolling through the north side looking for my baby-boo
Cadillac baby-blue, graduated made it to
The south side, Fondren
She was having fun then
Right around the time that she heard Pimp & Bun & them
Tell me something good, she was rolling through the hood
Checking on the stash spots, used to hit up all the rap spots
Rhinestone, palladium, main event, super skate
Never thought I seen her cracked out started losing weight
Sippin' out a white cup, barely keep her eyes open
Pants saggin', draggin', on the ground it’s like she gave up coping
With all the stress, got lost within the gray tape
Robert Davis Screw time, she said in due time
She tell the world about the Swishahouse, S.U.C.,
That you see plenty others rolling through like s.u.v.'s
Ask Bey as a child she had a destiny
Did I mention three brothers knocking boots and eventually
She’ll get back up on her feet an start a legacy
Credit J. Prince it all started with a pregnancy
H-o-u-s-t-o-n (yeah) h-o-u-s-t-o-n (listen) h-o-u-s-t-o-n
She’ll always be my friend
She’ll always be my friend
H-o-u-s-t-o-n (I'm here for you) h-o-u-s-t-o-n
(going nowhere) h-o-u-s-t-o-n
She’ll always be my friend
She’ll always be my friend
Lately she been traveling round the world
Wood grain grippin'
Said she’d be a G til she die, and she «Still Tippin'»
Through the 4−4, Greenspoint, and bloody nickel
She keep it hood like corner store dill pickle’s floating in the jar
Says you ain’t gonna make it far, if you rapping about your car and you trying
to be a star
I told her beat the trunk up that was just an intro, tell the world about you
That ain’t what I’m in for
I got substance and I ain’t talking substance abuse
Ain’t no noose around my neck, i get loose with the best of em' (the best)
So don’t label me, and I won’t label you
You know how I do, on this mic and turn tables too
Plus I learn from you how to persevere
Gotta get it off my chest, now
Cause this verse is near
The end, I’m in love with you
My friend and you know what it do
I don’t wanna see you x-ed out, wiggin, poppin handlebars
That ain’t how you handle stars
So let’s not handle ours, with destruction
I wanna see you live, I wanna see you breath, I wanna see you give
H-o-u-s-t-o-n (uh-huh) h-o-u-s-t-o-n (yeah) h-o-u-s-t-o-n
She’ll always be my friend
She’ll always be my friend
H-o-u-s-t-o-n (woah-uh-woah-oh) h-o-u-s-t-o-n (yeah)
She’ll always be my friend
She’ll always be my friend
H-o-u-s-t-o-n (woah-uh-woah-oh) h-o-u-s-t-o-n (I love you so much) h-o-u-s-t-o-n
She’ll always be my friend
She’ll always be my friend
H-o-u-s-t-o-n (whoo) h-o-u-s-t-o-n (whoooooo) h-o-u-s-t-o-n
