Leanin' On You Lyrics - Geto Boys

If, you move, I'll fall 

I'm leanin' on you, you baby, you baby 

Geto Boys, Willie D 

We was livin' on cold facts, cops sat in old 'Llacs 

Couldn't get along with T Jones, so he rolled jack 

I was on Prozac before I was 12 

Spent my senior year in high school, sittin' in jail 

To no avail, I was screamin' out and nobody heard me 

Messed around and got shot but it didn't deter me 

I think I was 14, so my boy was one trey 

Cut my hair one day, left my crib and got sprayed 

And expired right away, nuttin' to say, sad chapter 

Around here, either you get killed or you get captured 

Sister girl, I ain't know what you was dealin' wit 

Pointed the finger at you, now I'm feelin' like an idiot 

But I'm wiser now and I seen the world 

It's messed up, how they treat us Geto Boys and girls 

The doctors tried to resucessitate, it was too late 

I got a daughter named Kain and a son named Blank 

And they be askin' 'bout you, all the time 

I try to be a better man, sometimes I fall behind 

So if you feel some extra weight on you, don't be alarmed 

Don't move, don't flee, that's me leanin' on you 

I'm leanin' on you 

Y'all wonder why I act crazy, life don't phase me 

For me to still be above ground it's just amazing 

Wasn't aware bein' different gave me intangible wealth 

That's why I, took a gun and tried to kill myself 

My folks got the blame of course, I used to ask 

Why did God make my brother so tall and me a dwarf? 

This ain't no 'Poor little me song' that's so phony 

I got a good life, I'm just sharin' my testimony 

But could you imagine bein' me, for one hour, one day 

One week, one month, one year? Get out of here 

You'd never make it, life's not fair 

Everywhere you go, people point, people laugh, people stare 

They don't care, so I don't care, most of the day 

I feel awkward but I believe I'm goin' to hell if I don't pray 

As I laid, on that hospital gurney, fightin' for my life 

I felt the demons touch my body then I saw the light 

That was you, I know it was you 

'Cause all the love in the world from my family couldn't pull me through 

Lord, when it gets really rough 

You're the only one that's strong enough to hold me up 

That's why I lean on you 

I'm leanin' on you 

You're my one and only friend, ever since I was a kid 

We've been in and out through thick and thin, tryin' to get a win 

Broke as fuck on the corners like a nigga had diplomas 

Back in 1985, skippin' class, gettin' high 

Fat Turner we were walkin', I remember you was talkin' 

'Bout this lick we was supposed to hit and turn us all to bosses 

So we took that trip to Austin, and we came back with this package 

That would later turn this strongest friendship into us scrappin' 

Ain't too sure about what happened, all I'm knowin' is it was money 

Had a nigga wagin' war against who I thought was the homey 

Shoulda known this shit was evil, by the way it did my peoples 

And the whole entire neighborhood fucked up behind this needle 

Now we roam in the Regal, windows tinted, dem bangin' 

Pistol grip on the frontseat, smokin' and steady drankin' 

Drunk and I'm steady thankin' we probably shouldn't left it 

'Cause every time that a nigga drops a record you arrested 

It's depressin' but life and it's lessons'll leave us guessin' 

Gettin' out, was a blessin' but lately a nigga stressin' 

Which leads me to this question, was money the only reason we feuded 

'Cause now that we got it, homey let's keep it movin', let's move 

I'm leanin on you 

I'm leanin on you
