Oldest Brother Intro

(Buckroll)

I be rappin', braggin' 'bout all that gangster shit that I did
But what's really gangster is me being
There for my kids (That's gangster)
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 (Aww)
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 shot, 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 (Ah)

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, done that, all that street shit is played out
Me and wifey in the crib buildin' the kids a new playhouse (Haha)
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 (Gang)
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 gotta go and strap up and risk it all (What's up?)
Crazy how a nigga think, but that's how a nigga think (Gang)
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, it'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, still feel like we got the illest crew (Yeah)

Thinkin' 'bout all the gangster shit that I did
Like what's really gangster is me being 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 (Aww)
Growin' up in the projects, no father, no mother
I gotta figure all this shit out, I'm the oldest brother
