Bruddanem Lyrics – JID ft. Lil Durk

[Intro: JID]
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

[Verse 1: JID]
If you my n!gga, you my n!gga then
Twin, thick or thin
I was a kid when my brother went in
Now he lil' brother, the man
Kinda like Pac in Above the Rim
Couple M's, cut a check, cut the film

[Chorus: JID]
I got the Glock for my bruddanem
I spin the block for my bruddanem
I did a lot for my bruddanem
You better watch for my bruddanem
You gotta watch my bros
I'm finna cop for my bruddanem
You call the cops on my bruddanem
You don't know, partner, them struggling
That sh!t ain't nothing 'bout nothing

[Post-Chorus: JID]
And if my brother say
"Let's slide, " well then, my sister sliding too
It ain't no slipping on this side
I got my grip and found my groove
And if they blitzing on the squad
I swear to God it's bad for you
When there's nothing else they thought I would do
My brothers ride through
My brothers ride through (Yeah, uh)
My brothers ride through

[Verse 2: JID]
Uh, look, uh (Sh!t)
This for my brother, my hitter, my slugger
My n!gga, my jigga, my killer, my dog
Here for the women, the women my n!ggas
Most of them really be realer than y'all
When I was little remember
We literally can't forget all the sh!t that we saw
JaJa hit a n!gga right in the jaw
We ain't jumping, we just letting 'em brawl
Every summer it was somebody dead and somebody scared
So nobody saw
Buddy in jail and somebody called
Collecting the bail is somebody boss
Laid off, hm, stay in the bed
Hell nah, what the f**k you done did?
All that stressing taking care of the kids
(Give us something that can take off the edge)
From the minute I got in trouble
Got a whipping for nothing
That's something my brother did
I never snitch, I never done no sucker sh!t
'Cause he'll hush for me if it was him
He'll bust for me if it was him
So you know it's all toes ten
When it come to my bruddanem
I'll whirlwind, spin your block again

[Chorus: JID]
(I got the Glock for my bruddanem)
I spin the block for my bruddanem
I did a lot for my bruddanem
You better watch for my bruddanem
You gotta watch my bros
I'm finna cop for my bruddanem
You call the cops on my bruddanem
You don't know, partner, them struggling
That sh!t ain't nothing 'bout nothing

[Post-Chorus: JID]
And if my brother say
"Let's slide, " well then, my sister sliding too
It ain't no slipping on this side
I got my grip and found my groove
And if they blitzing on the squad
I swear to God it's bad for you
When there's nothing else they thought I would do
My brothers ride–

[Verse 3: Lil Durk]
Ten millimeter, it's different
My brother had gave me one of his switches
My uncle be b!tching, they told me he snitching
So when I grew up
I was blessed in my distance (Oh, oh)
We slept by the window, being hungry a issue
Power knocked out, slept close to a window
My brother, my brother, saying, "Mama, this real"
What I be saying, this sh!t is official
I get rich, you get rich, I got rich, you rich now
F**ked the opps up so bad
They tryna establish a sit-down
But he can't sit, brrah, buddy got hit, brraow
Trench baby, street n!gga, real n!ggas
Real killers, gravediggers
Gang, gang, foenem block
All that sh!t really gang members
Fake Percs, he don't got no more
He said they feel like real painkillers
My brother a shooter, my brother a killer
F**k politics, I'm with the same n!ggas
My brother gone slide
But two of my brothers had died
They was my main n!ggas, oh, oh

[Outro: Mustafa The Poet]
These n!ggas, street n!ggas
Type to never leave n!ggas
Roll something, hold something
Anything to disappear, n!gga
Neck-deep in this water
Neck glistening to be seen, n!gga
I see you, I love you, do you feel it?
We're still here, n!gga
God gave us a war
And this sword can't be near n!ggas
You reach for it, you reach for him
You reach for these dreams, n!gga
Two wraps on this durag
Two straps when we're out for dinner
Take care of your skin, take care of your liver
I won't let them in, I won't let you wither
I won't let you
