Yo' Little Brother lyrics

I got a brother younger than I

and my little brother's on the wild side.

He's hangin' out, gettin' high, always on the scene

and always rappin' to the girls for some

you-know-what-I-mean.

And when Pop came in tonight, he found

little brother was not around.

He looked up, checked the clock, and said:

"Go and get him from off the block!"

I called, "Yo, yo, little brother,

what ya out here trying to discover?

Yo, yo, yo, little brother

Ya gonna get it from your dad and your mother!"

I checked every place I thought he might have gone

until I came across a house with somethin' goin' on.

I looked in the window, there was brother and his crew

and he was doing everything a little brother shouldn't do.

I knocked and I called his name.

He came out with his eyes aflame.

I said, "What you doing up after three?"

He said, "You don't know, you better hang with me!"

I called, "Yo, yo, little brother.

What ya out here trying to discover?

Yo, yo, yo, little brother.

Ya gonna get it from your dad and your mother!"

Yo, yo, little brother.

What ya out here trying to discover?

Yo, yo, yo, little brother

It's gonna hurt you one way or the other!"

I said, "If you think you're cool, don't be a fool.

Little brother, come home with me!"

He said, "There's nothing home that can turn me on.

That's why I'm out here in the street!"

"And what's up with you? You did it, too.

So don't tell me now to beware!"

I said, "Yeah, I was down, but I turned around.

And that's why I'm still here, little brother!"

Yo, yo, little brother,

what ya out here trying to discover?

Yo, yo, yo, little brother.

Ya gonna get it from your dad and your mother!

Yo, yo, little brother,

what ya out here trying to discover?

Yo, yo, yo, little brother,

let's go home and rap with one another.

Yo, yo, little brother,

let's go home and rap with one another.

Yo, yo, yo, little brother,

let's go home and rap with one another.

Yo, yo

Yo, yo, yo

Yo, yo

Yo, yo, yo
