A Lean Story - Murs

It was the year 2000 when I first sipped lean

My homie from D-town put me on the scene

This was way back, before it was a big thing

Before every rapper was a fucking dope fiend

My little brother went to PV, he put me up on that DJ Screw n' Pimp C

He was still free at the time, I was on tour with the legends tryna shine

I hit the club, looking for the plug

I was down deep in tryna find this new drug

Met this dude, said he’s from the northside

Said he knew a spot and he would give me a ride

Didn’t think twice, he said that he was a fan

And I would do anything to get up out the van

Fifteen seater we was rolling ten deep

And I was sittin' bitch so I couldn’t get sleep

I heard codeine was the thing to make you pass out

Got to the spot, he told me pull the cash out

I asked how much, he told me forty bucks

He came back with a baby food jar (what the fuck)

He said it was a deuce, I mixed it with the soda or I mix it with some juice

He just laughed and he told me be patient

Bent the corner, we was at the gas station

Got some ice in a styrofoam cup

A can of orange soda, it was time to grow up

I started sippin', headed back to the show

'Bout the time I hit the stage, everything was movin' slow

The front row was lit, the show was super thick

I walked straight to the edge of the stage and then I slipped

The rest of the show went on without a hitch

When it was over, I was sober, I was looking for a chick

Walking through the crowd, hey yo where is at?

Staring at this chick, she started staring at me back

Before I got the chance to go and start flirting

This bitch nigga stepped on my Jordan thirteens

I kept them on ice, since 1998

Just looked down and chuckled, then he laughed to my face

Laughed because I fell off the stage, he had jokes

So I knocked his ass out in front of all of his folks

Fucked around, out of town, and I couldn’t got smoke

But sometimes it’s like «fuck it», you gotta go for broke

One of his homies stepped up and got knocked out clean

While the dude who took me earlier to go and get the lean

Didn’t make a scene

We pushed it to the car

Then headed to the spot, and we copped another jar

This time we bought a pipe, 'cause I owed them that

When people show you love, you always show it back
