Brother to Brother

Let it be heard Knowledge the highest level of understanding wisdom must come forth Yo Laquan, speak [ VERSE 1: Laquan ] Keepin in tact cause I express myself on wax Read between the lines as I state the facts The fact is known, you gotta be strong to live long And know the difference from right and wrong What's done in the dark will soon shine in the light You're provin em right by suckin the pipe, stereotype Media hype is killing me Why must my brothers steal from me? Woman is queen, she feeds what you need at birth Research of self, develops your mental health Man is king, lead the route But some sell out and find a quick way out By selling poison to another Poison for pay rotts the brain away Caught in the devil's trap Some call it dope, some call it crack Call it what you want, it doesn't matter what the name is The effect is still the same Your life goes down the drain in constant pain For a $20 plane ride Comin from inside of me - truth You can hide from me, you can't hide from facts, black Sorry if I've blown your cover I must tell it like it is, brother to brother (Alright) Brother to brother [ VERSE 2: Laquan ] Open your third eye, vision a clear sight As we take a flight into the life of parasites Some will feed and never give, that's pure greed Climbin, climbin but I'm constantly pulled back Is it the wrong steps or is it because I'm black?
