Smashproof Brother (feat. Gin Wigmore)
[Intro]
[Tyree]
Yo bro, I really need to talk to you about something man, man I see a lot of people changing around me man .. but you? You had to be the one aye
[Deach]
These dudes you're hurting, why you hurting them? Like, I know who you are - you're not like that. I know what's happening in your household .. do you want to talk about it or something?
[Sid]
And I'm not tryna like .. put all the blame on you. 'Cos I was the one who put us on TV, in the event that it'd try change the hood. Not tryna glamorise it or nothing, I was just showing everybody what it's like out here .. and now it's your turn to try and change it
[Verse 1 - Sid]
I got my elbow on the window sill
Hand on my face looking out to the world
A lot of questions lay awake in my brain
And I'm still trying to suss out what I'ma say
And if I do speak
On some things, as if you the stone
Copping all our hate, so here goes
Why is it that when some guy makes it out a hood life
They like 'no we can't let you'
And allow five-o to rape girls, then compensate them
Like they the victim, it's so wrong
And expect us working people to fund your wages
For you to uphold the law, which is
What? Exactly that
I really need to know
Til then I'll stare out of my window
Ha, probably won't get an answer for that one
[Hook - Gin/Tyree]
I got some questions in my mind
That definitely need some answers, right now
Cause I gotta know
Got all the pieces to the puzzle
But can't seem to make it fit so I'm lost
Tell me where to go
But you turned your back
And you went away
It's making me crazy, I feel so alone
Why did you turn your back
Why did you go away
Cause you were my brother
And you should've stayed
[Verse 2 - Tyree]
Listen, I lay awake at night
Looking up at the ceiling tryna clear my mind
I can't sleep with the shit that I've seen today
Seen a dude in the dairy get stabbed for change
He passed away, his parents won't pass the pain and
I feel like you just came and let the rain in
Feels like you just let it happen man
Take away a kids life just because he tagged, damn
Why you let us get ahead
If you needa pull us back right before we see the end
Please let me understand why you took away my friend
So soul to brother I lost
So my brother, I gotta know
[Hook - Gin/Tyree]
I got some questions in my mind
That definitely need some answers, right now
Cause I gotta know
Got all the pieces to the puzzle
But can't seem to make it fit so I'm lost
Tell me where to go
But you turned your back
And you went away
It's making me crazy, I feel so alone
Why did you turn your back
Why did you go away
Cause you were my brother
And you should've stayed
[Verse 3 - Deach]
Listen, I gotta few things on my mind
I can't really explain to you but I gotta try
First, I wanna know other things
Why you letting your little brother slang rocks to the side
Of blocks and do whatever
Do you really think it's making it better
Cause what I see is a cold world living
Your little sister known as a hood rat
You can overlook that
Cause all she wanna do is fit in
Why you letting your daddy abuse your children
When they go school bruised they're making excuses
Why is the majority of friends that you have all gang affiliated
Hurting the innocent
[Hook - Gin/Tyree]
I got some questions in my mind
That definitely need some answers, right now
Cause I gotta know
Got all the pieces to the puzzle
But can't seem to make it fit so I'm lost
Tell me where to go
But you turned your back
And you went away
It's making me crazy, I feel so alone
Why did you turn your back
Why did you go away
Cause you were my brother
And you should've stayed
