Text: Yo Gotti. Back 2 Da Basics. We Gonna Be Alright.
Mama, we're gon' be aight
Man, I miss my brother, I swear to God
I'm still mad at myself that I couldn't take the charge
I remember like yesterday, phone ringing up off the hook
Pandemonium in the north, what happened to juk?
Shit, I don't know, guess the same old bullshit
Fed's said, DP got caught with half a brick
That damn near stopped my heart
'Cause me and knowing my brother I'm thinking this shit hard
But luckily it was soft and fortunately he was straight
We're findin' to take it to trial, but went on sign for eight
Mama, we're gon' be straight, lil' sister we're gon' be cool
I know that my brother strong, so I did what I had to do
Mama, we're gon' be aight
He gon' be okay
Shit, I didn't know but I was walkin' on faith
Li'l sister we're gon' be aight, he gon' be okay
Got me a brick and started moving that weight
Mama, we're gon' be aight
He gon' be okay
Shit, I didn't know but I was walkin' on faith
Lil' sister we're gon' be aight, he gon' be okay
Got me a brick and started moving that weight
His sister taking it bad, mama trying to be strong
Couple calendar years, I never shedded a tear
Wrote him a couple letters to tell him I'm doin' better
Told him, I took his Chevy and put the shit back together
Told him, I'm gettin' money, I counted a hundred G's
Told me to slow it down, play the shit low key
Told me to make it happen, focus more on rappin'
'Cause fuckin' round in these streets that anything can happen
Told me I had heart, plus he knew I was smart
The only thing that'd break his heart is
If I fuck around and catch a charge
Told me to watch my sister and never let mama suffer
And do what I had to do to overcome the struggles
Mama, we're gon' be aight
He gon' be okay
Shit, I didn't know but I was walkin' on faith
Lil' sister we're gon' be aight, he gon' be okay
Got me a brick and started moving that weight
Mama, we're gon' be aight
He gon' be okay
Shit, I didn't know but I was walkin' on faith
Lil' sister we're gon' be aight, he gon' be okay
Got me a brick and started moving that weight
Finally made parol, they think he gon' change his life
I axed him what he gon' do, he said he's gon' walk light
It wasn't a year later, he smokin' behind tint
Half an ounce of the reddy rock, man they got his ass again
Judge gave him a bond, now he out on the run
With that fuck the world attitude, still totin' a gun
Still havin' his fun, we clubbin' it on the weekend
Thought I had conversations 'bout going to turn himself in
Wanted to raise his son, gon' get the shit behind him
Plus he knew it's only so long before they find him
Lawyer was talking good, say he gon' get three
When the prosecutor quit yellin' they gave my brother eleven
My mama damn near fainter, my brother didn't want to accept it
The hardest part for me, I couldn't do nothing to help it
Rap shit paid off, now we all on TV
My brother say, he good, he finally feel free
Mama, we're gon' be aight
He gon' be okay
Shit, I didn't know but I was walkin' on faith
Lil' sister we're gon' be aight, he gon' be okay
Got me a brick and started moving that weight
