My Brother lyrics

Artist  : Mac 
Song : My Brother



 Send "My Brother" Ringtone to your Cell 

 
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
muthaf**kin 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)
  That`s my nigga, my nerve, my one love
  (you`re the only one for me)
  Even though I never told you, at times I tried
  So I praise you while you alive

Now even though we look at life differently
You probably had the better view
And when it came to hoes I was way ahead of you
I went to school with em, used to fool with em in
class
In the hallways tryin to get some as* with my
hall pass
You did homework, and I did bit*hes
You was plottin on how to pass, I was plottin on
some riches
It showed in the report card
You paid attention to the teacher
I was lookin at the sport cars
In the magazines with my headphones, knowin I was
dead wrong
Cuttin class, goin everywhere but home
When you got a job, mama and them was proud, I
was jealous
You worked late nights, I ran the streets with
the fellows
In a rush to be grown, you was still more mature
Cause you hang with your own, plus my heart was
pure
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

2x: Let me hear ya say oh, ooh, oh, ooh, oh
    The only one for me
