Little Brother Lyrics - Don't Tread On Me - 311

Oh, hey little brother 

You've got so much to discover 

Can't you conceptualize 

What you're doing to our mother 

Those drugs that you choose 

Leave you left with the blues 

Trust me I've been there 

To me it's old news 

Pending disaster 

You're heading there faster 

It's tearing me up 

To know you get so plastered 

Because you're caught up in the scene 

At the age of nineteen 

Maybe so was I at the age 

But I had a dream 

And those goddamn powdered drugs 

They'll fill you with doubt 

You're just getting sucked on up in it 

And you have to break out 

You blacked out on the floor 

You told me, the next day they found you that way 

Those damn medications had your back baby 

It hurt when they took them all away 

You're feeling so bad 

You're looking for a place to land 

Help me understand 

How in hell it got so out of hand 

I know that it's hard 

But you're risking being permanently scared 

You're hurting inside 

So you're flirting with tragedy on the dark side 

Those drugs that you choose 

Leave you left with the blues 

Trust me I've been there 

To me it's old news 

Hey little brother 

You messed up another chance 

Sooner or later you must take a stand 

At the edge of it 

All where you begin 

To consume that product to its very end 

How much time is left 

Will you collapse 

Will you confess you're in a spiritless void 

Spinning into excess 

You blacked out on the floor 

You told me, the next day they found you that way 

Those damn medications had your back baby 

It hurt when they took them all away 

You're feeling so bad 

You're looking for a place to land 

Help me understand 

How in hell it got so out of hand, go
