Oldest Brother Intro

B-B-Buck Rowe

I be rappin', braggin' 'bout all that gangsta shit that I did

But what's really gangsta is me bein' there for my kids

That's gangsta

I'm a better father than mines was, mines wasn't there

He wasn't

I remember askin' my mother, "Why Daddy disappear?"

Why?

Man, she ain't had an answer, then she died from cancer

Then me and my lil' brothers became a burden on Grandma

Ah

Growin' up in the projects, no father, no mother

I gotta figure all this shit out, I'm the oldest brother

I got it

So eventually, a **** start hustlin'

Got shot, start shootin' ****, all that shit come with it

It do

Beefin' over drug money, respect our territory

I be feelin' like Biggie and Nas when I'm tellin' stories

Nah

Still down to spin the block and go hit them **** up

Bang

But I prefer to drop my kids off at school and pick 'em up

Been there and done that, all that street shit is played out

Me and wifey in the crib buildin' the kids a new playhouse

Ha, ha, ha

All my kids bring out the lil' kid in me

I be doin' things with them I wish my father did with me

Facts

I turned out okay, I survived, it wasn't that hard

Now my kids got they own swimming pool in they backyard

We lit

But certain **** know if I get the call

For them a **** got it goin', strap up and risk it all

What's up?

Crazy how a **** think, but that's how a **** think

Yeah

That's how shit be, I ain't actin' like my shit don't stink

Nah

We live by a certain code, ****'ll never break it

Never

If the love ain't real, what's gon' show? You can never fake it

Uh-huh

The same shit I got, I want for my **** too

Want everybody to shine, still feel like we got the illest crew

Yeah

Thinkin' 'bout all the gangsta shit that I did

Like, what's really gangsta is me bein' there for my kids

I'm a better father than mines was, mines wasn't there

He wasn't

I remember askin' my mother, "Why Daddy disappear?"

Why?

Man, she ain't had an answer, then she died from cancer

Then me and my lil' brothers became a burden on Grandma

Ah

Growin' up in the projects, no father, no mother

I gotta figure all this shit out, I'm the oldest brother
