Yo, if y'all don't mind, I'd like to share a little somethin I wrote.
About the closest n**** to me, ya heard me? My m****f***in 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 n****, 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 n***** 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 n**** shot dice and all the teachers did drugs
You my n****, 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 n****, my nerve, my one love
About the closest n**** to me, ya heard me? My m****f***in brother, ya
know. And it ain't gotta be ya blood brother, it could be ya thug
brother.
