[Title: Brother With a Knife] [Intro] Zero This one ain’t for enemies This one’s for the brother That put the knife in my back [Verse 1] We were fifteen in the summer heat Freshman year with trouble in the street Met through a girl playing both damn sides Trying to make two young fools collide She came through my window with a pretty little lie Said she was done with you, said she was mine Whispered forever like a thief in the night But the truth had teeth and it came to bite So we set the trap and we let her crawl Let her think she had me fooled through it all She slid in close, thought it was me Then I hit the light and made her see It was you in the room It was me at the switch That little lie got buried in a ditch We laughed so hard that the pain turned clean That was the day you became family [Pre-Chorus] From a dirty little game A brotherhood was born Two angry kids Swearing through the storm [Chorus] Brother with a knife How could you do this to me? I gave you my home You poisoned my family Brother with a knife I carried you through hell Had your back right or wrong Then you rang my death bell I called you blood I called you mine You smiled in my face And crossed the line Brother with a knife Brother with a knife [Verse 2] I was there when you almost died When the dark came down and you couldn’t see right I was there when they jumped you cold I threw my body where the damage rolled Right or wrong, I stood by you That’s what brothers were supposed to do No question asked, no second thought I gave you loyalty that couldn’t be bought Years went by and we built our lives I had my kids, you had your wife Then your house cracked and your world got thin You came to me and I let you in Opened my door, opened my plate Opened my home, didn’t hesitate My family sat where I let you stay And you repaid me in the lowest way [Pre-Chorus] I gave you shelter You gave me shame I gave you trust You dragged my name [Chorus] Brother with a knife How could you do this to me? I gave you my home You poisoned my family Brother with a knife I carried you through hell Had your back right or wrong Then you rang my death bell I called you blood I called you mine You smiled in my face And crossed the line Brother with a knife Brother with a knife [Verse 3] Yeah, I’m pissed at her too She could’ve said no But you were my brother You were supposed to know You didn’t just cross You didn’t just fall You tried to take the roof The blood The house The all Tried to pull her away Tried to break my name Tried to walk through my life Like it was all some game Low-life snake Fake-ass friend Rot in the hole Where the backstabbers end You could fall in a ditch I wouldn’t lose no sleep That’s the kind of scar That cuts too deep You did the one thing A brother don’t do And every bit of hell in me Woke up because of you [Breakdown] I knew I knew I knew the whole time I smiled I watched I swallowed the crime Cold dish Long wait No sound Old wound New blade Go down I knew I knew I knew the whole time You thought I was blind But revenge has eyes [Rap Bridge] Years later, divorce came clean Life moved on but the memory screamed You thought I forgot, thought the past got buried But hate don’t die when the wound gets carried I stayed in your house, looked you dead in the face Same roof, same air, same poisoned place But here’s the difference, let the truth get told I didn’t hunt it down, I just watched it unfold She looked at me different, yeah, you felt that shift You saw the room change and your whole soul split The look on your face was a beautiful thing When you found out I knew about everything I knew the whole time, you backstabbing bitch Every secret, every lie, every little stitch I forgave enough just to keep breathing air But forgot? Nah, I never went there You took from my house, I took back my pride Watched your fake crown crack from the inside Might not be today, might not be tonight But a cold dish hits when the timing is right [Final Chorus] Brother with a knife How could you do this to me? I gave you my home You poisoned my family Brother with a knife I carried you through hell Had your back right or wrong Then you rang my death bell I called you blood I called you mine You smiled in my face And crossed the line Brother with a knife Brother with a knife [Outro] You were my brother Not by blood But by war I had your back You had my door I knew the whole time I watched you lie And the worst part is A part of me still remembers When I would’ve died for you Brother with a knife Never again
