Baby brother, don’t cry.
everybody’s got to die sometimes.
and grandma found her time.
She couldn’t do it all forever
and now they say she’s someplace better.
Don’t you worry, little man. I got your back.
Mom and Dad still love you,
but they just can’t seem to get it right.
They try and that’s why sometimes
they have to holler and shiver in the night.
I’ll protect you
and take you to the court to play some ball.
Maybe you could be the MVP,
or anything you want to be.
I taught you how to read and now your the best in
school. Don’t you be a fool
and listen when they call you weird
just because you’re smart.
I’ll pick you up at three,
but when we get home there’s somewhere else I gotta be
Grandma wouldn’t like it, but it’s something I have to do
I gonna have to start skipping Sunday School
We’re gonna stick together, me and you
Love is such a beautiful thing.
Now you see this?
This is not a toy.
Don’t you touch it, not even with the safety on.
I’d hate if you made a mistake
but if I ever go away just drop it in the lake
That won’t happen.
We’re not wards of the state; we’re kin.
We’re gonna have to move in with some friends.
They’ll like you a lot, but just don’t do what they do.
don’t smoke any pot.
If you’re by a window and you hear a sound
don’t look for where it came from just drop drown.
Crawl fast as you can to the tub.
Everything this brother puts out is classic. Check out the label stuff, check out the independent. Check it all out. A giant you shouldn't sleep on. Brooks Long
