you brothers
you mothers
i never know
neither of you ever show
your true colors
least not to me
guess that is how this family
be

oh bother's
i say this
the other one say that
hell, i never know twixt' & 'tween
know what i mean?

twixt' & twat'
i can't find an at

you muthers'
still be my brothers
wish i had others
to make this deal
then it might be real

but from either of you
what do i do?
say "screw you"

you don't do a damn thing
'cept sit back and sing
"you shuda' dun this"
"you shuda' dun that"

where were you at
when i did this or that?

it's always easy
after the fact
to be dis-pleased
with what be
and to see's
what was a fact
& what was a wanna' be's

but me
i take the action
i feel the re-action
give me a fraction
of the time & the pain
i timely refrain

i remain
the main
man
i'll take my stand
if it be insane
least i could do
was do what i do
what about you?
what do you do?

at least i take some action
not be a fraction
waitin' for a re-action

you brother's
of our mother

thanks for your help
hope you escape
with your scelp
still in shape
there on your head
you be mis-lead
live 'till you die
and always wonder why

'cause if it was up to me
...
you'd face reality

you brother's
you muther's
but brother's we be
