Little Brother
Hey little brother, you've got so much to discover
Cant you conceptualize what youre doing to our mother
Those drugs that choose leave you left with the blues
Trust me I've been there to me it's old news
Pending disaster youre heading there faster
It's tearing me up to know you get so plastered
Because you're caught up in the scene at the age of nineteen
Maybe so was I at that age but I had a dream
And those god damn powder drugs, they fill you with doubt
You're just getting getting sucked on up in it and you have to break out
You blacked out on the floor you told me
The next day they found you that way
Those damn medications had your back baby
It hurt when they took them all away
You're feeling so bad
You're looking for a place to land
Help me understand
How in hell it got so out of hand
I know that it's hard but you risking being permanently scarred
You're hurting inside so you're flirting with tragedy on the dark side
Those drugs that choose leave you left with the blues
Trust me I've been there to me it's old news
Hey little brother you've messed up another chance
Sooner or later you must take a stance
At the edge of it all where you begin
To consume that product to its very end
How much time is left will you collapse will you confess
You're in that spiritless void spinning into excess
You blacked out on the floor you told me
The next day they found you that way
Those damn medications had your back baby
It hurt when they took them all away
You're feeling so bad
You're looking for a place to land
Help me understand
How in hell it got so out of hand
