Ever since I was a kid
I always wanted to be a Brella
I mean for me
It was bigger than being president
To me it meant being somebody
In a neighborhood full of nobodies
They weren't like everybody else
I mean they did whatever they wanted
They could double park in front of a hydrant
And nobody even bothered giving them a ticket
In the summer when they stood outside and smoked weed all night
Nobody ever bothered calling the cops
I mean to us living any other way was nuts
To us those goody-good people who worked shitty jobs for bum paychecks
Worrying about their bills taking the metro to work every day
They were dead
They were f*cking dead
I mean they were suckers
They had no balls
Pause
But them niggas
They was getting money
F*cking bitches
And driving good
It was just all routine
They never thought about it twice
