Lyrics

[Chorus]
Me and baby brother
Used to run together
Me and baby brother
Used to run together, yeah
Welcome one another
Headed for the corner
Welcome one another
Headed for the corner, yeah
[Verse 1]
Shiftin' on his mind
Is like drinking funky wine
By the river
Chippin' on his mind
Is like drinking funky wine
By the river
[Chorus]
Me and baby brother
Used to run together
Me and baby brother
Used to run together
Welcome one another
Headed for the corner
Welcome one another
Headed for the corner
[Verse 2]
I remember the day
We used to fight together, yeah
I remember the day, yeah
We used to fight together
[Chorus]
Me and baby brother
Used to run together, ooh
Me and baby brother
Used to run together
[PostChorus]
Hang on, baby brother, oh
They call it law and order
Hey, hey, hey
[Outro]
Come back, baby brother
Come back, baby brother
Come back, baby brother
Come back, baby brother
You're my baby brother
You're my baby brother
Come back, baby brother
Come back, baby brother
Come back, baby brother
You're my baby brother
You're my baby brother
Come back, baby brother
Come back, baby brother
Come back, baby brother
