| [00:09.03] | This song does not contain explicit lyrics, but what it does contain |
| [00:13.80] | Is an udesired element. this element is known as the basehead, the |
| [00:18.63] | Lowest of lowest of all elements that exist. and the sad thing is, |
| [00:23.28] | This particular element... is me brudda! |
| [00:26.34] | Brother, brother oh brother of mine |
| [00:28.44] | We used to be down as partners in crime |
| [00:30.66] | From our parents our name was forged |
| [00:32.91] | I was the beaver, you curious george |
| [00:35.04] | Wanted to dispose of this and that |
| [00:37.17] | But curiosity had killed the cat |
| [00:39.51] | At this age no wonder it was read |
| [00:41.67] | But this was the fate that you were fed |
| [00:43.83] | Throughout high school our minds we'd waste |
| [00:46.02] | High off all the cheeba that we could taste |
| [00:48.30] | Soon you had converted to nasal sports |
| [00:50.58] | Every five minutes shit you'd snort |
| [00:52.71] | Told me that you needed a stronger fix |
| [00:54.87] | Stepped to the crack scene in '86 |
| [00:57.03] | Unlike the other drugs where you had control |
| [00:59.19] | This substance had engulfed your body and soul |
| [01:01.50] | Now from me you lost all respect |
| [01:03.72] | Said you need to put that shit in check |
| [01:05.91] | Wanted me to believe that you had tried |
| [01:07.86] | But your mind and the craving had coincided |
| [01:09.87] | Said there was a voice inside you that talked |
| [01:12.12] | Which said you shouldn't stop but continue to walk |
| [01:14.52] | Now the brother who could handle any drug |
| [01:16.95] | Had just found the one that could pull his plug |
| [01:18.63] | (background:) |
| [01:18.87] | (ya don't stop, ya don't, ya don't stop) |
| [01:19.62] | (ya don't stop, the body rock) |
| [01:20.22] | Dove: |
| [01:20.31] | "yo, bro, got another rock for your hiking boots" |
| [01:22.56] | "gonna make you scream and loop three loops" |
| [01:24.75] | "gonna take you far on a freeway, okay" |
| [01:27.93] | Remember that day? slipped me a smile for a 20 crack vial |
| [01:31.29] | Guess what? time to collect, correct |
| [01:33.51] | Don't have a dime? it's payback time, payback time |
| [01:36.60] | "don't cry the blues 'cause i got bad news" |
| [01:38.79] | "should i stab ya? should i bite ya? should i use my tools?" |
| [01:41.22] | No, i got another way to earn my defeat, ah! |

| [02:03.27] | Brother, brother, stupid brother of mine |
| [02:05.34] | Started getting high at the age of nine |
| [02:07.62] | Now at twenty-one you're lower than low |
| [02:09.84] | Nowhere to turn, nowhere to go |
| [02:11.82] | My dividends and wares started to disappear |
| [02:14.25] | Where it ended up, i had an idea |
| [02:16.50] | Barking you with the quickness, reversed intent |
| [02:18.60] | Instead went to pop and gave him the print |
| [02:20.76] | Now pop grew tired of being a mouse |
| [02:23.04] | Finally told you to get the hell outta the house |
| [02:25.23] | From there a mother figure came into play |
| [02:27.09] | Claimed for you she saw a better day |
| [02:29.52] | Now mom was a product of christ's rebirth |
| [02:31.86] | Thought the only chance was to go to church |
| [02:34.08] | Quitting this stuff you had tried before |
| [02:36.33] | This time you claimed you'd really score |
| [02:38.43] | Something i had to see to believe |
| [02:40.62] | Put on my suit and to church i weaved |

| [03:27.27] | Soon you reach your front of calm |
| [03:29.25] | Walked round by rehearsing psalms |
| [03:31.44] | Then you smiled with the funky frown |
| [03:33.60] | What do you know, the voice is back in town |
| [03:35.79] | Mom would say it would soon go away |
| [03:37.95] | You and i knew it was here to stay |
| [03:40.05] | But the man helped you when you helped yourself |
| [03:42.33] | That meant going to rehab for your health |
| [03:44.52] | Finally it went and blew your cork |
| [03:46.50] | Heard you moved to the comfortable streets of new york |
| [03:48.90] | And when my friends see me and come and ask |
