"Oldest Brother Intro" lyrics
(B-B-B-B-Buck Rowe)
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 thin (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 (uh)
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 nigga start hustlin'
Got shots, start shootin' niggas, 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 niggas 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 (hahaha)
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 thought, 'Okay, I survived, it wasn't that hard' (facts)
Now my kids got they own swimming pool in they backyard (we lit)
But certain niggas know if I get the call
For them a nigga got it goin', strap up and risk it all (what's up?)
Crazy how a nigga think, but that's how a nigga think (yeah)
That's how shit be, I ain't actin' like my shit don't stink (nah)
We live by a certain code, niggas'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 niggas too
Want everybody to shine, stiffer like we got the Illest Crew (yeah)
Thinkin' 'bout all the gangsta shit that I did
Like, was really gangsta's me bein' there for my kids?
I'm a better father than mines was, mines wasn't there (she wasn't)
I remember askin' my mother, 'Why Daddy disappear'? (why?)
My chain 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
