Yo if y'all don't mind I'd like to share a little somethin I wrote.

About the closest nigga to me ya heard me? My muthafuckin brother ya

know. And it ain't gotta be ya blood brother it could be ya thug

brother.

We tend to say things that we don't really mean

Like I hate you and I hope you die tomorrow of some deadly disease

I never meant a word nigga I was speakin out of anger

At times I treated you as if you was a stranger

We both shared poverty, eatin commodity, you never lied to me

Or knock me for nuthin I tried to be

You was in the house sharpenin your art skills

And I was in the backyard doin cartwheels

Runnin with the niggas mama told me leave alone, come home

Stealin bikes even though I knew my rights from wrong

I used to envy you cause you intelligent

And I hate you was a strange way of tellin it

But that was irrelevant

You was in the good schools, I went to the gutter with the thugs

When a nigga shot dice and all the teachers did drugs

You my nigga, til I'm dead and gone

And I loved you like you was a part of me

And that's why I'm singin this song

Chorus: It's my nigga, my nerve, my one love

(you're my brother)

The one who wouldn't change on a nigga

(you're my brother, you're my brother)

Cause we shared the same blood

(there's no other)

That's my nigga, my nerve, my one love

(you're the only one for me)

The one that wouldn't change on a nigga

Don't change on a nigga

It's my nigga, my nerve, my one love

(you're my brother)

The one who wouldn't change on a nigga

(you're my brother, you're my brother)

Cause we shared the same blood

(there's no other)
