Listen Hey brother, stay loose Don't give it too much use That mouth of yours Ain't never gonna get her. Talk is cheap Go sell it on the street But your brother might be Just a little bit better. I might seem like a lover's dream Got bullets in my gun You might explode in the middle of the road Before the race is run. Don't jump off the sidewalk, brother Don't give me that jive talk, brother. What's the sense of sitting on the fence It's them or us, can you make it Why make waves pretending to be brave It hurts too much, can you fake it. Tell it straight, you know I'm great Ain't never seen you score? Who d'ya think climbs out your window While you're knocking at the door? Don't jump off the sidewalk, brother Don't give me that jive talk, brother.
