We'd fight for the controller to save the princess on Nintendo

Play fight and slap boxing was all we did living in the ghetto

Smacking three's in the hoops made from milk crates

Racing and lacing our 4 wheeler roller skates

Handball smacked against the concrete

Music blasting for boomboxes to the summer beat

Manhunt never got old we ran through our street

We were already inspiring to become a future athletes

But then one day came and we grew up to become adults

Now we were giving eachother advice waiting for results

Play time was now over since you became a man of uniform

Through the years I just watched how you transform

Wrote letters to you whenever you had a rainstorm

You replied to those letters to keep me informed

One day you were out and needed a favor

Ran to you like the old days didn't even sign a waiver

You thought at that moment I was  your life saver

Everything changed as time went on 

You became a run in my life  like when it damages a nylon

That one time I asked you for something irrelevant

Never thought you would put me down so petulant

Didn't even imagine that you would act in that direction

It pushed me away from fading our cousin connection

All those memorable times as kids were lost with perfection

My cousin, my brother, you were my reflection

Now everytime I see you its like getting an infection
