You fucked me over, on more occasion than one
But you were my brother, so I ain’t hating ya none
And now you’re all grown up, you even got your own son
I pray you heard what I told ya, when its all over and done…

Momma always working, daddy gone, went away
I still remember like it all happened yesterday
Just kids, no concept of getting paid
But still we went to sleep, dreaming of a better day
I was 10, guess that would of made you 5
My baby brother, for you I woulda gave my life
Momma taking us to church, in the name of Christ
But I was the only one, there for you day and night
How’s a child supposed to raise a baby
Still I tried everyday thinking maybe
We could drown out, everything they say
But I had my own problems, goin crazy
All I knew, together we had a better chance
Looking back, I laugh, at my pathetic plans
Tryna pick you up and carry you in little Desmond’s hands
But just look at us now… I don’t regret it man

You fucked me over, on more occasion than one
But you were my brother, so I ain’t hating ya none
And now you’re all grown up, you even got your own son
I pray you heard what I told ya, when its all over and done…

How many times the cops they came knocking
Thieves, and fiends, in my house, you let em walk in
You never changed, no amount of talking
Still I prayed, Lord, keep him out a coffin
When you went away, I thought about you often
Sometimes I felt we were cursed like we could not win
Then you came back, still, going all in
Pullin licks, coming home with an odd grin
I still remember that day, you said “I shot him”
Pale face, eyes white like Hopsin
The look of desperation, no option
You couldn’t hide ya pain, like raw skin
So many times, when you couldn’t, I cried for ya
And when the police came around I lied for ya
You the only, one I believe that say I’d ride for ya
That’s why I love ya, baby brother, I would die for ya

You fucked me over, on more occasion than one
But you were my brother, so I ain’t hating ya none
And now you’re all grown up, you even got your own son
I pray you heard what I told ya, when its all over and done…

The other night I fell asleep, in deep thought
Thinking about our blessings, and everything we got
The type of game you can’t buy, gotta be taught
Cradles on the bough, now we sitting on the tree top
Look how far we’ve come, look look how much we grown up
We both fathers, with kids, that we can show love
Most of, the people in our life all know what
We be killing this game, about to blow up
They don’t know our past though, who we are
The pain inflicted by you that left me scarred
The strength you give me, when this life of mine seems hard
Keeping each other focused on our vision we can see far
Family is forever, like the ink on ya arm
Gotta go thru me if they bringing you harm
Tell em ring the alarm, cuz the Ford’s are back
Put my soul on the track, this is more than rap

You fucked me over, on more occasion than one
But you were my brother, so I ain’t hating ya none
And now you’re all grown up, you even got your own son
I pray you heard what I told ya, when its all over and done… x2
