Intro (Monica, Baby Kost)

Verse 1

Let me tell you about my Old friend Tony
More than a Homie something like a Co-Dee
That was back then chilling in the endz

If anyone asked who you are
You was one of my friends
You kept it real

Made all the right moves when them other Ni**ers stayed still
If you ever had a little mad thing
I would be der... in der... ready to swing

Ayy...
Just to make sure you would win
While them others boys were out der

Grinding to bashment
We were on a money grind
You use to make hot beats I use to rap on them

If you lived in the town
You had one of our tunes
DEFO!

You said you got me
I said I got you from the get go
Next Plan... was to get out the hood

BLOW

Chorus:

"Brother from Another
Never thought you'd ever snake me for another man
We had dreams! To get out the gutter man

But you got me sliced for the butter man
Now I'm working on a whole new dream!
And you ain't part of the plan... (Oh-OH) Damn

Once upon a time you was part of the team
But you done the wrong thing
Turnt snake... for the Cream"


Verse 2
These days

I might tell people I don't know you
But the photos show that I did... who lied?
As time went on FAM we got closer

And if anybody asked we were family
Growing up you was on Hype
How ironic...

You use to get in Beef to show the world you not a Chicken
It was M.O.B because you knew
The money brang the chicks in

We established our slogan L's up
Had the city on our back.... We were going in
But you were acting up, brang a shank to your class

Got kicked out had to find a whole new school
Started moving... with some new faces
I could tell that they didn't want the best for you

I knew something weren't right when I called you
Four days in a row... Got missed Calls


Chorus:
"Brother from Another
Never thought you'd ever snake me for another man

We had dreams! To get out the gutter man
But you got me sliced for the butter man
Now I'm working on a whole new dream!

And you ain't part of the plan... (Oh-OH) Damn
Once upon a time you was part of the team
But you done the wrong thing

Turnt snake... for the Cream"

Verse 3

It was a normal day... Wednesday, just finished in the studio
As I stepped out the booth got a text from tony
I was thinking in my mind

Why didn't this guy just phone me?
His been Ghost for like two months now
He wants me to meet at the shops in an hour!

I ain't seen or heard from tony in a while...
But I've heard a few stories
One guy said his hearts trunt cold
Second guy said his been gang banging
But I ain't gonna watch none of that

Since primary... we've been hanging
Time went quick hour came
As promised at the shops I came
Ten minutes in, no tony about to duck
Then I heard a big shout "AY TONY"

I knew something weren't right... a bag of youths started moving real close
Then my phone rang it was Tony... I picked up said:
"Where are you? Couple guys think I'm you!"
He took time to reply then said
"Yo Richie I can't believe I done this... I'm sorry"

... I was baffled about to reply.... Then I dropped.

- I was stabbed.
