Where's my sisters?

Where's my sisters?

This one's for the brothers

The brothers, the brothers

Said I be rappin' for the ladies

What's up, ladies?

But this one's for the brothers

Yeah, check it out now

The brothers, the brothers

Now I'm the baby in the family, and I got three siblings

Three older brothers, and we tryna make a living

So we hustle and we bubble and we comin' up fast

Ain't gon' never be the same since moms and pops passed

The oldest one, child prodigy, no doubt

Ever since he was a kid, used to ride a **** out

All grown up now, nice job, nice clout

Nice wife, nice house, tryna take the right route

Treat sis' like a queen, brother gave me everything

Anytime I got in trouble, he could probably pull some strings

Walked Daddy's footsteps and career, same speed

Made the greatest big brother and father to his own seed

But something happened on the job, he started snappin'

Problems with the wifey, wiggin' out and started cappin'

Tried to himself in just to make things right

Ended up takin' flight 'cause he not the jail type

Now, I got a second brother, me and this one was closer

Made me a little tomboy, like he was supposed to

Tearin' up the place, blowin' weed in my face

Irresponsible to death, parents stayin' on his case

Probably 'cause he wanted to be the baby in the family

Drinkin' with his friends, mackin' up, Mommy carry me

Lil' halfway crook gettin' crazy on the mic

Wasn't really into rap, but this **** sound tight

Used to tell me all the time, don't wet none, sis'

By this time next year, we gon' be dumb rich

That's when I heard the ill, my physical got killed

Just a couple of weeks after signin' a record deal

Now somebody got to bust and after gettin' a little tough

And on the block 'round the clock, **** ain't seen nothing (Yeah, right)

Never seen a brother more determined or eager

Moms and pops couldn't see it, now we not gon' see it either

Now my last and final brother, kinda something out the norm

Some say part depressed, some say part deformed

Record unclean since his early teens

In and out the youth house, playin' all the crime scenes

Early hangin' with fiends, smokin' all type of things

Used to chase a basketball, now he chasin' pipe dreams

(From the door) It was wrong, undetected too long

Bugged out when he was little, now he big devil spawn

Little too early, had to kick him out the house

He just wanted some attention, that's what that was all about

Used to bust down the door, moms cry, pops fight

Even family counseling couldn't make this shit right

Word on the street, everybody wanna do him

From his so-called boys to all the chickens he was screwin'

Anybody get the chance gon' probably unload

How much longer sis' got before the last brother go? (Oh, no)
