My Brother - Mac

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)
