What Happened Brother

What happened brother we used to be close now we just fight with eachother Growing up in the ghetto wasnt easy had to duck are heads so no one know we were white kids in a black neighborhood the roof leacked and the dog had more to eat than us but mama always had sundays off that meant praising the lord in church and monopoly till we were so tired from playing we passed out What happened brother i thought you were proud of me for doing good in school i wish you would of stayed in school instead of hanging out at parties till three coming home smelling like alcohol and weed having mom yell at you telling you were no good stressing both of you guys out What happened brother got a call today your no good daddy is dying and you want to see him maybe thats why you resent me cause my father will still exist in five years and yours was not in your life since you were two. What happened brother they say you ran away from the hospital and its five days later i just want to know what happened? Dear little brother im safe just to let you know but i wont be coming back anymore.my lifestyle choice has been a sham growing up in the ghetto you mess up and dig yourself into a pit im not calling it quits im looking to be a better man but you already are i did you wrong not the other way around .It's time i make amends inside is the money from dads will use it well champion.
