She smiled and said, You Pleasant Grove boys sure talk real sweet And itll please me to get to know you Bornfree People say my name is different and I think its unique but, for now, babyboy You can call me D. [Hook] [Verse 2] I was never heavy in the streets but I wasnt stranger to them I knew who was the truest from riders to the shooters And although I dont approve, I have no room to cast stones Because those very same rocks were once products to be sold to keep our home in the Grove When I was growing up, my father introduced me to a brother he came up with I dont recall his name But his face has been the same since my father had me use the white pages to look him up I remember I was young and he was always in the picture Saying, tell them Im your brother if anyone messes witcha I shoot him the peace whenever I see him in the distance Nine times out of ten he was handling some business Skyline graduate doing dirt for the people He was heavy in the system but he always kept it real He had every chicken jocking him as soon as they would meet him From them round the way girls to singers and cheerleaders I went away for college, you think I woulda forgot him But I always had the thought of his visage inside my mind An image of the years we spent growing up together Watching each others grind become each others shine So I decided to return and he was first one to notice A year and a half later, he was still doing the most I shoot him the salute, saying this said this time I wont leave Im back to hold it down for my big brother D.
