This song does not contain explicit lyrics, but what it does contain | |
Is an udesired element. this element is known as the basehead, the | |
Lowest of lowest of all elements that exist. and the sad thing is, | |
This particular element... is me brudda! | |
Brother, brother oh brother of mine | |
We used to be down as partners in crime | |
From our parents our name was forged | |
I was the beaver, you curious george | |
Wanted to dispose of this and that | |
But curiosity had killed the cat | |
At this age no wonder it was read | |
But this was the fate that you were fed | |
Throughout high school our minds we'd waste | |
High off all the cheeba that we could taste | |
Soon you had converted to nasal sports | |
Every five minutes cocaine you'd snort | |
Told me that you needed a stronger fix | |
Stepped to the crack scene in '86 | |
Unlike the other drugs where you had control | |
This substance had engulfed your body and soul | |
Now from me you lost all respect | |
Said yo need to put that shit in check | |
Wanted me to believe that you had tried | |
But your mind and the craving had coincided | |
Said there was a voice inside you that talked | |
Which said you shouldn't stop but continue to walk | |
Now the brother who could handle any drug | |
Had just found the one that could pull his plug | |
(background:) | |
(ya don't stop, ya don't, ya don't stop) | |
(ya don't stop, the body rock) | |
Dove: | |
"yo, bro, got another rock for your hiking boots" | |
"gonna make you scream and loop three loops" | |
"gonna take you far on a freeway, okay" | |
Remember that day? slipped me a smile for a 20 crack vial | |
Guess what? time to collect, correct | |
Don't have a dime? it's payback time, payback time | |
"don't cry the blues 'cause i got bad news" | |
"should i stab ya? should i bite ya? should i use my tools?" | |
No, i got another way to earn my defeat, ah! | |
(slam the child on the hard concrete) | |
(make the bass come out so clear) | |

Brother, brother, stupid brother of mine | |
Started getting high at the age of nine | |
Now at twenty-one you're lower than low | |
Nowhere to turn, nowhere to go | |
My dividends and wares started to disappear | |
Where it ended up, i had an idea | |
Barking you with the quickness, reversed intent | |
Instead went to pop and gave him the print | |
Now pop grew tired of being a mouse | |
Finally told you to get the hell outta the house | |
From there a mother figure came into play | |
Claimed for you she saw a better day | |
Now mom was a product of christ's rebirth | |
Thought the only chance was to go to church | |
Quitting this stuff you had tried before | |
This time you claimed you'd really score | |
Something i had to see to believe | |
Put on my suit and to church i weaved | |
Preacher (squirrel): | |
My, my, my. what happened to the people? the people who used to care | |
About what took place in the world today? i've been summoned here | |
Today to reach the people who still can be reached, to save the people | |
Who still can be saved. can i get an amen? can i get an amen? | |
Hit me! forgive us. said it's taking over. taking over the world. all | |
It's doing is taking over. where them crackers at? them crackers that | |
They serve, where they at? | |
Dove and mikey roads (in background as choir): | |
Said evil's taking over | |
Said evil's taking over | |
Said evil's taking over, evil's taking over | |
The lord's gonna forgive us, the lord's gonna forgive us, lord | |
Said the lord's gonna forgive us | |
The lord's gonna forgive us | |
Pos: | |
Bullshit, didn't believe a lick | |
To this fool fell off, well that would stick | |
Soon you reach your front of calm | |
Walked round by rehearsing psalms | |
Then you smiled with the funky frown | |
What do you know, the voice is back in town | |
Mom would say it would soon go away | |
You and i knew it was here to stay | |
But the man helped you when you helped yourself | |
That meant going to rehab for your health | |
Finally it went and blew your cork | |
Heard you moved to the comfortable streets of new york | |
And when my friends see me and come and ask | |
"yo, where's your brother at?" | |
I'll be the first to splash | |
"yo, he's a basehead" | |
(- yo know who that was?) | |
(- no.) | |
(- the guy from de la soul. pos. posdnuos.) | |
(- who?) | |
(- you heard of de la soul, right?) | |
(- right.) | |
(- well he was the one from de la soul.) | |
(- the one with the real nappy hair.) | |
(- the one with... the dark-skinned one.) | |
(- with the glasses?) | |
(- yeah.) | |
(- [background] yeah, the ugly one!) | |
(fuck you bitch!) | |
(and kept goin'...) |
