Until you get yourself together, 'gether (Brother)

So I'm tellin' you

Don't you call me brother (Don't you, don't you)

Go away, go away, don't do it

Don't you call me brother (Hanging around people's houses)

Corruptin' the neighborhood, you are, you are

Don't you call me brother (Nah, nah, nah, no, nah, nah, nah, nah)

Unless you really, really, really, really mean it

You don't even have any self respect, nah, nah

How can you respect somebody else?

I know all about you, I've watched you running around the neighborhood

Tryin' to rip me off (I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Just the other day

When I was hanging out down on the main drag, yeah

I went in to get me a small teeny, weeny tottie for the evening, yeah

And when I come out, yeah, I came out, yeah, I came out, yeah

And I got a bad case of the blues when I saw my tires gone

I opened up the door, yeah, and there was my glove compartment all torn out from my dashboard

And, here you come, here you come, here you come

Skinnin' and grinnin', yeah, skinnin' and grinnin', yeah

Here you come, here you come (I know you did it)

With a power sign and talkin' about, talkin' about

"My man, solid on down, my brother"

I said I don't like, how can you really, really, really, really, mean it?

I know about you, I know what you're good for

I know what you're doing around here

I know all about you, I know all about you

I know, I know, I know you're a backbiter

Backstabber, low-down, cheatin', rotten, no good, no good

Son of a c-cup (Yeah, yeah, you don't really mean it)

I know you're dirty (Don't call me)

I know you're dirty (Don't call me)

I know you're dirty, brother (How can you call me brother?)

When you don't really mean it, I can't use it

Can't even trust you behind my back, no, no

I can't use it, that kind of carrying on, I don't like it

Giving me the old glad-hand shake, don't do it (I can't use it)

Tellin' me right on, right on, right on, right on (It ain't no good)

Woo (Hey, hey, I hate you)

Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you call me

Brother, brother, brother (Woo)

Don't you call me, I don't need it, no, no

Just stay away from me
