My Brother

I’m sorry that I couldn’t make you feel loved
I never thought that your turn to drugs 
When I found out, I couldn’t hardly breathe 
You became that person I never thought you’d be  
You were my hero 
The one I came to but now you ain’t here though 
What am I supposed to do? 
I’m telling you we don’t get a redo 
Straighten up 
Act right 
Stop always tryna fight 
You act like we done love you! 
You don’t have anything to prove 
Why am I the only one who gives a fuck 
When you start drinking and acting up 
You’d think all this death around you would make you see 
This life ain’t what it’s cracked up to be 
I know you’re not slow 
I know you need somewhere to go 
So come to me, brother. I got you. 
You don’t gotta play with your life 
You don’t gotta put up this fight
Do you really want Aly to grow up without a dad
Does the thought of that not even make you sad? 
Prison, fights, drugs, and everything in between 
All we want is for you to get clean 
I hope you realize the shit you’re doing 
It’s your own life that you’re screwing
