A song about theft and a jacket that me and my brother fought over for many a year before he passed from a house fire. ~lyrics~ I remember when me and my brother went to Macy's seen loss prevention hit a YN with the Force of the US Navy, six or seven grown men wildin on a kid who hid something on his styling funny thing was me and him was both stealing in the end he the only one 12 profiling Use the opportunity right quick no lying, Saw a denim jacket I like got slick real conniving type to hit a lick then jackknife at home life no picnic just financial strife Five finger a nic still the best trick in that life one night I get it in my head when desperate To downright plan to nab my brother's debit Big fight with Mom cuz she asked you for credit Her Begging you bite back she don't deserve it Reverse hindsight inverted to reserve the right To rob my bros Federal reserve in spite Yea You know it all came to a head that night In no time you said "ain't no brother of mine" Baseball bat blood shed broke my hand like a fault line patch it up gave you the jacket that was once mine Jacked it back from you, double crossed more than two times So who can blame the threat of jail time Chess match with pops for the right to live at home best two out of three took that L to the dome saying never come back till my little brother grown Left that night a bag of clothes and the open road two years from town to town so The story goes Tears when you call me to come home and it shows fears in my mind to reconnect like Domino's State of affairs so sad only mama knows Karmic sibling rivalry to take Cathy from me Non-platonic chivalry in between you and she Ironic silently would have peaced out for free Toxic star-crossed lovers like was meant to be Couldn't see time ticking away the hands of fate See that last Thanksgiving with three dinner plates Was the last you were living on earth with Grace See 9538 in dreams like it still a place week of the fire gave fit back in favor Tweaking through your room only find your razor Peep my room guess you thought it'd be safer To leave it near there for me to get later Savior of the Jackknife jacket Blazer One corner of my room not blazed to cinder the bathroom floor that you returned to sender halve burnt patch intact sleeve layer attach wax thread crosshatch center mass Patchwork mismatch intact like split glass coat mean more to me than gold finance Snatched more than 12 years still feel impacts Past debt my theft will never relapse Trashed my best chance to avoid collapse Asked God to bless these denim implants Skin grafted soul held threads made of wax
