Brother Ali - Dorian lyrics
[Brother Ali - Dorian lyrics]
Here we are in the apartment corridor
"Dorian, right? yeah I been meaning
To speak to you i don't get up in my
Neighbours business normally right
But yo these thin ass walls
Got everything leakin' through
Now first thing's first
I don't judge you for the weed smoke
But, I can hear your
Daughter yellin' 'daddy, please, don't'
And it's not once or twice
But every damn night
Man there's somethin' goin' on up
In here that ain't right
Now man to man, I can understand
They like to stress a brotha out
Man we cuss each other out
But, you crossin the line by
Puttin your hands on 'em
And nobody ever told you not
To hit a damn woman?"
Boy, I can tell that my presence was painful
Breathin' truth down his neck it must
Have felt like a strangle
His eyes flashed confusion
Wavin' his hands around
He's used to raisin' his voice on
People to back 'em down
See this is specifically why I left
The pistol in the linen closet
Pullin' this shit
If he was taller I woulda went and got it
Damnit man
I'm in the right and I'm civilized
But little boys really ain't
Used to bein' criticized first off scooter
Take the bass out your voice
I'm respectful with mine and yo
You makin' a choice here and
Understand it's only once that I warn you
Make a move, make a threat
I'll make it rain knuckles on you
I ain't a woman or a baby dawg
I'm out of your league
My wife heard us gettin' loud
So she's prayin' for peace
She stuck her head out on
Some keep your temper shit
Little man gon' say "Close the
Door, mind your business, bitch"
Ha, now that's sweet, just what I needed it
It seemed that
He invited my right fist for a
Party on his left cheek
I didn't mean to seem rude so I accepted
But arrived a half a second early
Right cross connected -
Oh, staggered him, just by taggin' him
Mr tough guy
One punch bring out the fag in him
Little man could make moves that I couldn't
He cut and tried to foot it
Now how should I put it
I stood at full posture and
Swatted him down the staircase
Bare knuckles to bare face
All punches knew their place
Airport style, the second one take off
The next one land
Learn some respect young man
He glanced down for the brick on the ground
Fist still clenched up I'm
Still stickin' his crown
He's in the jaws of the most
Turbulant blitz in the world
So fuck hittin' ya' girl tonight
You're hittin' the ground
I said somebody need to beat your ass
And then teach your ass
And I'm sorry I can only do half
And while his mellon swell up
A police cruiser pull up
He hopped out all puffed up with
The holster of his gun up
Ready to protect and serve
And it's in his nature to 38
Ya' if you're testin' his nerves
He helped the wife-beater stand up
But not before he helped Brother
Ali into some handcuffs
And you can imagine my surprise
When his girl came down the stairs
With tears in her eyes
And a phone in her hand, holdin' her man
Damn that was not the plan
"Dorian, right? yeah I been meaning
To speak to you i don't get up in my
Neighbours business normally right
But yo these thin ass walls
