Lyrics Brother Ali

Brother Ali

Games

Ah, what's up man? (What up Ali?)

Ah, you still standing on this motherfuckin corner?

Shit ain't you 30 years old, motherfucker?

Ah, so when I pick up the microphone I know what I'm sayin

Wasn't long ago was facin the same situation

Carpet got ripped from me pacin

The rent's a month late, ain't shit on the way, I'm straight prayin

Ends don't meet unless you make 'em

The people don't eat unless you scrape and you see they ain't playin

Corner store credit is way thin

The World got it's way of weighin on your shoulders, it's degradin

It's like we got frowns tattooed on our faces

The school's ain't savin our new generation

Stare at our kids, they need a paradigm shift

The paradox is that parents aren't shit

Why you got cable? Your life is not stable

Lights not paid for, Nikes on layaway though

It's like we wanna look good while we drownin

Should grab a paddle and scrap our way out

Life's not a good when you livin it like this

Leave your lane for a minute, you might flip

It's like chains on your neck with a tight grip

Use your brain in this shit and you might live
