Here's a lil story, I gots to tell
About a midwest trio you don't know so well
Figured I should give y'all the history
Erything that we did & what it meant to me...
We was once brothers of the same kind
After one goal w/ the same mind
The sole reason for the Grind in the Game
Was all in the memory of one name
T boogie, in honor of dead serious
The reason we came together, point blank, Period
There nothing you can take from it
But somehow we got away from it
We were brother's in arms
And Like any brothers we squabbled over our qualms
Everybody's mother was one of the others mom's
We never had a lot but what we had was a bond
And it showed thru the music
Radio, intro's, man we used it
We learned everything being hard headed
Got a deal, I admit man, we all let it
(Kinda) go to our heads, well at least me
(Man) I was out doin things I aint need be
Psh... I was on a dark path
But the birth of my daughter, it brought back
Me
'Cuz I was on somethin else
It showed the music, couldn't humm it myself
The man I became I couldn't stomach myself
I aint leave cuz of y'all, I left cuz of myself
The passion I had, had gone away
And the things we had did at the start had gone astray
And I know in the Mecca the promise I gave Shanay
Was to make sure the world forever knew Anthony
(And I) know that I'm tuggin at heartstrings in a verse
Cuz I know every time that we failed it really hurt
But I'm still baby brother to all of you from start
(So) wonder what I'm thinkin, but never question my heart
Cuz we can't go back to the old days
So we gotta press on in our own ways
One thing, my granny told me before she died
(Was to) appreciate people while they alive
Cuz time heals everything
(And) seperation's a heavy thing
(Huh) But even after everything
My phone aint changed homie, so let it ring...
