Hook (2x):
I juss came home
I ain't got no loot
I ain't trin' 2 sell drugs
I ain't tryin 2 shoot
I'm tryin' 2 be a good nigga even wearin a suit
But the only job I got is 2 make hot soup
Verse 1:
Open day
Now you release
Peeps
Bacc on the streets
You don't want no peace
Need a job or sumthin'

Hit the streets 'cause dese niggas a snitch
See yo foul nigga

And juss pissed out your St. Ines
Reinact it always gotta take attractive
Ayo P.O. when I'm gon be inactive
While I'm on weekly

Hook (2x):

Line by Line Meaning

At the end of the summer there's a couple of days
There are few days left before summer ends.


Before the weather starts shiftin' and changin' it's ways
Before the weather changes and becomes colder.


The winds blow so gently on the things lovers do
The winds bring a romantic atmosphere.


That was the season when I first met you
That was when I fell in love with you.


We fell so deep in love, nothin' to fear
We were deeply in love and nothing could scare us.


It came to be our favorite time of year
We loved this season because it reminded us of our love.


Now every autumn makes a bittersweet call
Autumn reminds me of our love and makes me feel nostalgic.


I'm missin' you darlin' in the first days of fall
I'm feeling lonely and missing you in the beginning of autumn.


It's early September, school days once more
It's September and the school year has started again.


I watch the little kids walk by my door
I see children going to school from my house.


We always planned to have some of our own
We wanted to have children together one day.


But that was the old days, how far they have flown
That was a long time ago and things have changed.


I smile at the neighbor boy makin' his way
I see a boy from my neighborhood walking to school and I smile.


My heart starts sinkin' and I turn away
But then I feel sad and turn away from the boy.


To a picture of you and me there on the wall
I look at a picture of us on the wall and feel nostalgic.


I'm missin' you darlin' in the first days of fall
I'm feeling lonely and missing you in the beginning of autumn.


I try to stand tall, to keep up my pride
I try to be strong and keep my dignity.


Hiding the big hole that's deep here inside
But inside, there is a big hole of sadness that I'm trying to hide.


I'm a man with no purpose, just walkin' around
I feel lost and without direction, just moving aimlessly.


Among lovers and children, alone in their crowd
I'm in a crowd of people who are happy and in love, but I feel alone.


No use in tryin' to plan out my day
I feel like there's no point in planning my day.


It's just gonna end in the same silent way
The day will end the same way it started, with me feeling sad and alone.


This time of year it's no use at all
In autumn, nothing makes me feel better.


I'm missin' you darlin' in the first days of fall
I'm feeling lonely and missing you in the beginning of autumn.


Now every autumn makes a bittersweet call
Autumn reminds me of our love and makes me feel nostalgic.


I'm missin' you darlin' in the first days of fall
I'm feeling lonely and missing you in the beginning of autumn.

@majorpaiyne2124

The steel drum in the back is fuqin nuts.

@judahslion5611

Melvin Flynt Da Hustla was the first joint I bought from Noreaga. Ended up buying The Reunion album after learning about Capone and was instantly hooked. Not the most lyrical but NORE's style was so different and unique. Love this album.

@Ezekiel144k

You forgot to pick up the N.O.R.E album, that's his first solo album. It's a banger

@matthewmccrary7397

Most underrated ever..

@GottThozzTVMedia

BIG MOOD ! I just came home from up north a few months back

@renaudgg1956

@jaahnnn

Lol I loved this album in high school but got older and realized he didn't deserve most of these dope ass beats he was getting

@judahslion5611

'Sometimes' is the dopest track on this album by far though...
