Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll blow a mane mind for that nigga
I'll ride for the nigga
Put it all on the line for the nigga
I'll slide with a nigga
In that two-seater, me and my brother
Just me and my brother
Just me and my brother
Just me and my brother
And Ion say it much but he know that I love him
Don't fuck with my brother
You can fuck with my cousins
Talk shit about my niggas
Don't touch my brother
I can lose my life I can lose my fame
Can't lose my brother

Use to argue over shit
Ain't fussing about nothing
Use to go to school together
Everybody knew better wouldn't nobody touch you
Then you get mad at me
Try to put your hands on me
We use to tussle
Now you done grew up taller than me
Boy how the hell you grow like that
Ain't gone lie mane you was kinda nerdy
Didn't think we would be close like that
Then I grew up, started fucking with these hoes
Didn't mean to go ghost like that
I apologize if I hurt your little feelings
Didn't mean for it to go like that
Put my brother on the side line for these hoes
Didn't mean to do my bro like that
It was all for the good
Cause at the same time

While I was round there stirring up beef my nigga
You my little brother, you know that I love you
You know that I will do anything for you
I can not see me living here without you
I'll blow a mane mind for that nigga
I'll ride for the nigga
Put it all on the line for the nigga
