[Am]Live off the streets says the
[Em]brother with the machete

You [Am]see it's very easy to slip between
[E]the asphalt [Em]street
[Am]Brothers from my [Em]way
they used to get mad plays
Till they [Am]caught us bustin' doughnuts
'til the [Em]break of day
[Am]Brother, my brother,
[Em]you played me undercover
She [Am]wouldn't be your lover [Em]so
now you tried to diss her
The [Am]sister, you missed [Em]her but ask
yourself a question
[Am]Can I make [Em]a suggestion?
I need a true confession
[Am]Is she skivs cause the skin that she's
[Em]in makes you sin?
Does [Am]you hit her just to get her integ
[Em]rate another sister?
[Am]Mister, I asked him for a [Em]hanky,
he asked if he could [Am]spank me
So why'd you [Em]disrespect me, sir?
[Am]Were you thinking [Em]I'm misguided
or were you tryin to [Am]hide it
That you had no [Em]father figure
Which? [Am]Check out your wackness, it
[Em]won't distrust my blackness
I [Am]would offer a smack,
but don't [Em]think that it would help this
