Joey Story Songtext
von Nino Paid

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)

Joey woke up one morning, he was tired of the world
He was tired of the dreams that he saw
He lived in the city in Cali, but now he in debt
'Cause of all of the shit he done bought
He tired, just lookin′ to God and he losin′ his faith
'Cause of all of the problems he fought
Powerful nigga who really tryna care for his kids
And he fightin′ cases in court


He tired of talkin' to his therapist
Doctor ain′t sayin' shit, plus he ain′t heard it before
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
He hopped in his car and he gave a homeless man a dollar
The first one he seen in the store

One more call to his kids, he told ′em he loved ′em
And 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
Nobody really got love for you, Joey
If somebody did, 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 one look at the sky, that′s when he felt
That shit deep down in his heart
Nobody really got love for you
If somebody did, they would've been here from the start
Joey was tired of the world, he was tired of the dreams that he saw
And he wished he was dead
He cocked the pistol back and put that bitch 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, he gave up on all of his family and kids
And threw ′em away
Forget about all of the shit that you been through
Worry 'bout shit that you go through today
It's sad how niggas will go through the most in they life
But then sit there and say they okay

Ronnie woke up one morning, he was tired of the world
He was tired of the dreams that he saw
He lived in the city in Cali′, but now he in debt
′Cause of all of the shit he done bought
His light bill due and his kids out livin' they life
So he 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?

Uh, and long live Ronnie, nigga
