Verse1:
It's a trip, we been different ever since we was kids/
I sit here and reminisce back when we was six/
And Everybody treated you like a problem child/
Its prolly got a lot to do wit ya problems now/
But I wont pretend, I ain't see you smokin cigs/
Wit a little weed tryna find some newspaper to roll it in/
I wrote ya name on the fence wit a backwards E/
Mama whooped you, she shouldve came after me/
I'm fuckin sorry, and I'm whole heartedly sayin thanks dog/
Thanks to you, I never had a bully you would take on/
Anybody who fucked wit me, I've seen you break jaws/
School was a cake walk for me, why yo grades fall?/
Now 20 years later its the same thing/
Cant nobody tell you shit, but you in great need/
Come on bruh. Is you crazy, you cant see?/
This is how our uncles and aunties became fiends/
Hook (Crowda):
I know the life we lived/
And we wasn't living right as kids. Ma brudda/
But we aint kids no mo/
Gotta stick around, make sure I kids can grow. Ma brudda/
From the dope house to the group home/
We done seen it all nigga you wrong. Ma brudda/
I knew that you knew betta/
I'm surprised you aint do betta but you still ma brudda/
You Ma big brotha ma brody/
11 years old we, was sippin on 40s/
Runnin from the police, ma muhfuckin bro bro/
Thanks to you, the first car I drove was a stolo/
But I knew better than to follow ya path/
Cuz anything that comes fast isnt promised to last/
And you fell off like a wet bag of dope/
Fightin everybody tryna help you out, now theres nowhere yo ass can go/
When you tapped ma phone/
I brought cash to the hotel you was livin at because I had the dough/
Even though, I knew you wouldnt give it back/
I was only 18, I was not livin phat/
Now mama tellin me, you smokin this and that/
I dont believe it, or maybe I dont wanna get the facts/
Because this shit is madness, what about ma nephew/
When he get older dont you want um to respect you/

Verse2:
Can you relate, you ever had a friend drift away/
And you really just hate, watchin um deteriorate/
You feelin ashamed like you ain't do enough to help/
But you did enough and now, they gotta do it for they self/
I'm accepting that, so I'm steppin back/
And I'ma pray that one day you can escape the devils grasp/
Last time we talked you told me where ya head was at/
Now I understand you need professional help and fast/
I drop tears full of love I got for you/
The shit that we went through as kids was not normal/
Livin like savages, top ramen packages/
Laughin at crackheads when they gettin they asses whipped/
All the dope fiends we use to make fun of/
I never thought you would be dumb enough to become one/
Fuck bruh, snap out of it, for ya loved ones/
Man this shit got me fucked up/
