Don't you call me brother

Unless you really, really 

mean it

Don't you call me brother

Unless you get yourself together

How can you call me brother 

when you don't even respect my woman 

when I cant even trust you behind my back

How can you call me brother -- How can you do it? 

whe you keep tryin' to rip me off? 

How in the world can you call me brother 

when we can't even have 

a man-to-man talk?
