After laughter comes tears/ After tears come the beers/
After beers comes some cocaine snorted off the mirror/
In the mirror I look back/ and reflect even when yaked
I respect the fact that it attacks the passions/
Of the world through fashion, reliance on cash, yeah
I sold a little bud but made no habit of braggin/
But my girl kept naggin 'bout the pounds in the bags in
the back of the closet under towels and rags/
So I snatched up my schwag and I passed on some cash
And I realized how quick half my friends left my ass/
So I bought a little bag of some average cabbage,
And watched the little rats creep from cracks to scavenge/
But when I dont have it, they ask me to half it,
I say i dont have it, they react by laughin'/
Breathin smoke like a dragon, but never ever passin
Forgettin the fact that in the past i'd pack them/
And roll them, all by myself/ Nobody else/
People'd just come around, say "lemme hit on that Stealth"/
It almost makes me wanna sell again, just so I dont sell to them
And make them understand the fuckin fury in this mellow man/
But I've held that hand, I'd rather "be legit"
Even though I'm not from the Bay or never been/
But through all my crimes, I've seen the terrible side,
Of all these lousy motherfuckers standin there while they lyin/
Made my girl go bye, Made my friends do wrong
Made me wreck my car like a country song/
I had it all but it was gone in a year,
Because after the laughter comes them tears
