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

| Brother, brother, stupid brother of mine | |
| Started getting high at the age of nine | |
| Now at twenty-one you're lower than low | |
| Nowhere to turn, nowhere to go | |
| My dividends and wares started to disappear | |
| Where it ended up, i had an idea | |
| Barking you with the quickness, reversed intent | |
| Instead went to pop and gave him the print | |
| Now pop grew tired of being a mouse | |
| Finally told you to get the hell outta the house | |
| From there a mother figure came into play | |
| Claimed for you she saw a better day | |
| Now mom was a product of christ's rebirth | |
| Thought the only chance was to go to church | |
| Quitting this stuff you had tried before | |
| This time you claimed you'd really score | |
| Something i had to see to believe | |
| Put on my suit and to church i weaved | |
| Preacher (squirrel): | |
| My, my, my. what happened to the people? the people who used to care | |
| About what took place in the world today? i've been summoned here | |
| Today to reach the people who still can be reached, to save the people | |
| Who still can be saved. can i get an amen? can i get an amen? | |
| Hit me! forgive us. said it's taking over. taking over the world. all | |
| It's doing is taking over. where them crackers at? them crackers that | |
| They serve, where they at? | |
| Dove and mikey roads (in background as choir): | |
| Said evil's taking over | |
| Said evil's taking over | |
| Said evil's taking over, evil's taking over | |
| The lord's gonna forgive us, the lord's gonna forgive us, lord | |
| Said the lord's gonna forgive us | |
| The lord's gonna forgive us | |
| Pos: | |
| Bullshit, didn't believe a lick | |
| To this fool fell off, well that would stick | |
| Soon you reach your front of calm | |
| Walked round by rehearsing psalms | |
| Then you smiled with the funky frown | |
| What do you know, the voice is back in town | |
| Mom would say it would soon go away | |
| You and i knew it was here to stay | |
| But the man helped you when you helped yourself | |
| That meant going to rehab for your health | |
| Finally it went and blew your cork | |
| Heard you moved to the comfortable streets of new york | |
| And when my friends see me and come and ask | |
| "yo, where's your brother at?" | |
| I'll be the first to splash | |
| "yo, he's a basehead" | |
| (- yo know who that was?) | |
| (- no.) | |
| (- the guy from de la soul. pos. posdnuos.) | |
| (- who?) | |
| (- you heard of de la soul, right?) | |
| (- right.) | |
| (- well he was the one from de la soul.) | |
| (- the one with the real nappy hair.) | |
| (- the one with... the dark-skinned one.) | |
| (- with the glasses?) | |
| (- yeah.) | |
| (- [background] yeah, the ugly one!) | |
| (fuck you bitch!) | |
| (and kept goin'...) |
