My Brother

Mac

Yo if y'all don't mind I'd like to share a little somethin I wrote.



About the closest nigga to me ya heard me? My muthafuckin brother ya



know. And it ain't gotta be ya blood brother it could be ya thug



brother.




We tend to say things that we don't really mean



Like I hate you and I hope you die tomorrow of some deadly disease



I never meant a word nigga I was speakin out of anger



At times I treated you as if you was a stranger



We both shared poverty, eatin commodity, you never lied to me



Or knock me for nuthin I tried to be



You was in the house sharpenin your art skills



And I was in the backyard doin cartwheels



Runnin with the niggas mama told me leave alone, come home



Stealin bikes even though I knew my rights from wrong



I used to envy you cause you intelligent



And I hate you was a strange way of tellin it



But that was irrelevant



You was in the good schools, I went to the gutter with the thugs



When a nigga shot dice and all the teachers did drugs



You my nigga, til I'm dead and gone



And I loved you like you was a part of me



And that's why I'm singin this song




Chorus: It's my nigga, my nerve, my one love



(you're my brother)



The one who wouldn't change on a nigga



(you're my brother, you're my brother)



Cause we shared the same blood



(there's no other)



That's my nigga, my nerve, my one love



(you're the only one for me)



The one that wouldn't change on a nigga



Don't change on a nigga



It's my nigga, my nerve, my one love



(you're my brother)



The one who wouldn't change on a nigga



(you're my brother, you're my brother)



Cause we shared the same blood



(there's no other)
