Little Brother |
| ..doin this song for you |
| All my little brothers. |
| out in the street |
| Strugglin to survive. |
| keep your eyes on the prize, you know |
| Yeah, the revolution will not be televised |
| Or broadcast live on the net |
| My man Mos said it’s personal. |
| knamsayin? |
| It’s gotta start from right up in here, you know |
| You can’t stop, you know |
| You can’t stop when we rep |
| We rep the ain’t-gots |
| Ain’t nobody can’t start no party like us, we crush the faint hearts |
| From Hallsey to St. Mark’s, walk in the main blocks |
| Painted with blood that’s still hot, so deep it stain socks |
| The pain spark frustration, situations lead to hatin |
| Some deal with drug distribution, others walk the plantation |
| Some know the code a' the streets, some got a college education |
| Come down on the weekend, and peep the conversation |
| Yo |
| On the corner, units stormed out |
| Ghetto lookin bombed out |
| Police waited to roll, for those who walk the wrong route |
| Shorties goin all out, they got they swords drawn out |
| Ready to brawl out, gettin fought til they fall out |
| Black like Morehouse, 40 o’z is tossed out |
| For brothers that they mourn bout, get wrecked til it’s dawn out |
| Whether they broke or flossed out, honeys pass they draws out |
| Lookin for a ticket out the poor-house |
| A jungle out here |
| Lions keep they claws out, fangs and jaws out |
| Weak just get forced out |
| Names is called out, ghetto-fame is sought out |
| You wanna be the man that they talk bout |
| I walked out |
| I had some things on my mind to sort out |
| I thought bout the wild circumstance we born out |
| Remember myself at your age, when I was just like you |
| If that was now, I don’t know what I would do |
| My ears is closest to me |
| So what I say to you is goin for me |
| Son we both still growin indeed |
| But where you at, I was, and where you been, I left |
| Utilize my experience to guide your step |
| Some people get love but don’t command respect |
| It’s somethin that you can’t ride with a check |
| Or a rolly or lex or icy links that hang from your neck |
| If it’s real, who need to deal with the special effects? |
| Come here, come here, yo |
| Lemme drop this on ya, look they gotchu cornered |
| The corner of the block is hot, I ain’t got to warn ya |
| Cause I see you every day, trapped in every way |
| 'Shit, I’m a thug, and that’s all that I can say' |
| Who are you anyway? |
| Mary J. I spend, many nights awake, watchin you while you sleep |
| Tryin to figure out how to be the example, cause talk is cheap |
| As you walk the streets, study cats on the real |
| In a convo, just make your point to relax and chill |
| wanna destroy each other in a cypher instead a' build |
| Be a- man of will, don’t be- standin still |
| If you- don’t plan ahead, then you- plan to fail |
| Dudes be in a daze when the ways reveal |
| Like they funny style but I’m not laughin |
| Serious makin money while the police is passin |
| Can’t wait for opportunity to knock, you gotta make it happen |
| It ain’t about no spectacular ways a' rappin |
| Just immaculate ways a' action. |
| dig? |
| Little Brother |
| I know that times is hard |
| Keep your mind on god |
| Stay clear of danger and harm n' |
| You’ll get along |
| I sing my song |
| For little brothers |
| Out there in the street |
| Strugglin to make ends meet |
| Gotta hold the heat |
| Strugglin so hard to compete |
| Stay clear of danger and harm |
| Do it for y’all |
| Try to stay strong |
| Keep movin on |
