stop the press

Singer:brother ali

another one of them long ass breaks. damn

brother ali where the hell you been? what

you disappear?

stop the presses give me couple seconds

let tell my friends what's up with big brethren

new year new beard a new record

made a few adjustments i want to discuss it

in a life of pain and sadness

never would've guessed that a taste of success

would've been the first time i ever got depressed

i know i'm blessed i just couldn't adjust

in life all i ever knew how to do is fight

scrapped on the playground fighting for the mic

trying to build a life with an insane wife

fighting for a little bit of time in the light

then i got a daughter a car and house

no one left to fight with but myself

gained a lot of weight wasn't thinking about my health

maybe the music i'm making could help

i can't drive 'cause this albino shit

told you i was legally blind that's legit

i ain't want ant to have to come scoop the kid

so i bought a crib a couple blocks from his

that's the greatest friend i ever had

like a brother to me a borderline dad

maybe making a record will get me on track

help fix whatever's wrong with my head

i jumped back in the basement at once

made the album us in a couple of months

but i can't lie to y'all i felt lost

energy i brought might've been a bit off

couple great moments though of course

babygirl puppy love and the travelers

i toured two years off that album

was on the road ten months out of one of them

did the globe with my brother bk

my life coach slash dj

literally been with me since day one

had a lot of hard times had a lot of fun

long story short he got hell of a wife

catastrophe damn near ended her life

brought our wifeys out to hawaii

these fuckers got pregnant on waikiki

he said i need to talk to you ali
