Woke up one morning, turned your radio on

Couldn't find your money and your brother was gone

You ran to the kitchen, all you found was a pone

Your knew your brother's habit, couldn't silence his own

Used it ten years and now he's grown

Lost his wife and lost his friends

The way he started is the way he'll end

Usin cocaine again and again

Bright one morning drivin in his car

Smoked some dust, this time he went too far

Flew off the cliff right over the side

That was his first car and his last ride

Now you wonder why he didn't quit

But I'll tell you the answer that coke is it

His life is an end, he couldn't get through it

I told him before that he shouldn't (do it)



[cutting up of]

(Do it!)



Now your mother's upset

There's only two sons left

You say that's something you could never do

But now your brother's fried look rubbed off on you

Gettin all high, actin all cool

Your younger brother's grown and he finished school

Takin care of your mother and your sister too

He chose his own way, he took his own fate

He used to idealize you but now it's hate

He tried to help you, you can't say that's it

He tried to put you in a Phoenix home, you caught a fit

And now you realize that coke is it

Your life is an end, you couldn't get through it

I told you before that you shouldn't (do it)



[cutting up of]

(Do it!)



The tragedy won't happen to me

Now your brother's in brain surgery

Yes, your brother's rich, he's a millionaire

While you're out on the Bronx and you're on welfare

Jealous of your brother all you do is cry

Went in the room, commit suicide

Now your brother blames himself for what you have done

As you know 3 minus 2 equals 1

You could say your mother's life was a gamblin bet

Cause she started out with three, she only got one son left

You think you're cool, a Casanova

But now your life is (all over) (over) (over)



[cutting up of]

(The tragedy)
