Baby brother Baby brothers before two brothers Before the build up of bunk beds and bummers Before the fall of you, baby brother Before bad friends and backpacks and the betweens and teens My baby brother I cannot even begin but I've seen Before I could barely walk I babyat Besides your bad mouth I watched your back Backlogs of Blame Brother bandits both wrapped in bandaids Balance of power creates barbed wire Baby brother drop that attitude Baby brother we both hold ballpoint pens But the diction is different Because baby brother you get up on stage front and center because the center of attention is only for you Before I was best to be in the background because our families beliefs are too backwards Only for you You think the story revolves around you You think I'm here as a stepping stone for you? Because I wasn't your brother or a bother Only a few years bigger but that meant I was your bouncer To you I was baggage badly abandoned Baby brother I'm about to go ballistic Baby brother stop pretending you grown You was a baby last week and now you barely sixteen You think that' grown? Baby brother your job is to feed your addiction not our family because they can mind their business Don't tell me to mind my business Before I was born you've been my business You think the 1.75 in your account means you grown You think paying 20 for a gram makes you grown Because the blunt between your broken-hearted lips is better than bubble gum Because bubble gum is for babies And that broken heart was built by you And baby brother you telling me to stop calling you baby You'll always be my baby brother Even when you decide to cut the shit and be grown




Wooooah... This is a great piece! Just, everything about it. The repetition of using 'baby brother' or words starting with 'B'. I really love this!
