The 49ers - Brother's Keeper lyrics
[The 49ers - Brother's Keeper lyrics]
Now it's the greatest story
That almost never happened
Had I listened to the people back
When we started rapping
They be like, "yo your boy he's unorthodox"
But, I knew we had the
Balance like the equinox
They tried to split us up
Divide and conquer us
Pull the wool but to us it was obvious
Like this one label they would do dumb things
Tell me another thing and tell Jas one thing
(why)
But we family like we got the same blood
For years we did the same thing
We're even from the same hood
(you know what it is)
Same struggle trying to make the name bubble
From the start when you're picked apart and
None of the dames love you (you know)
Now we're looking for the
Two faced snake type
They spread the bad vibes just
Because they hate life
But, if you're dissing Jas, you're dissing 49
You're dissing Marchitect
I told you this is more than rhymes
It gets much deeper cause
I'm my brother's keeper
And I ain't never slipping and
He don't slip either
It gets much deeper cause
I'm my brother's keeper
And he ain't never sleeping and
I don't sleep either
What you think I'm stupid
You think Cupid hit the bull's eye
(huh, just think)
Well he missed by a mile (uh huh)
And I see through your smile
And peeped your whole game
Like it's the championship don't
Know what you think
I don't know what you thought (I don’t know)
Like I would turn my back on my brother
Don't you know it's like we
Got the same mothers (same mothers)
Ain't nothing different (uh uh)
Cause, I could walk in his crib without
Knocking and go straight to the kitchen
(to the kitchen)
Open up the fridge and grab me a drink and
(it's like that) prepare me a sandwich but
You can't understand that (nah)
Because you're selfish only
Thinking about yourself it's disgusting
Changing colors like you're rusting (uh)
Telling me one thing and Tec the opposite
Well now you got to sit in your own shit
But that's what you get for dropping it
(that's what you get)
I feel no remorse (uh huh)
So don't make me use force as
I show you to the door (see ya)
It gets much deeper cause
I'm my brother's keeper
And I ain't never slipping and
He don't slip either
It gets much deeper cause
I'm my brother's keeper
And he ain't never sleeping and
I don't sleep either
Jas Mace you know we're still standing
Foundation's outstanding (outstanding)
Ain't no demolishing The 49ers' polished
And we're still shining (shining)
Morning, noon, and after
No matter the time or day
We're gonna find a way (that's right)
To see through the bull like a
Madator with x ray vision on
Like that girl from out on tour remember her
She had reputation for leaving rappers stuck
And running off with wallets and
Things of that such
But we seen it all before I wrote a
Note stuffed my wallet full of ones
Got paid by a wire when the show was done
(yeah) i put it down, she picked it up
(put it down, picked it up)
She read the note it said dirty tricks suck
(yep) aw shucks, what the fuck
(aw shucks, what the fuck)
You played yourself for 36 bucks
That almost never happened
Had I listened to the people back
When we started rapping
They be like, "yo your boy he's unorthodox"
But, I knew we had the
Balance like the equinox
They tried to split us up
Divide and conquer us
Pull the wool but to us it was obvious
Like this one label they would do dumb things
Tell me another thing and tell Jas one thing
