i saw my brother weepin' in the dead of the night

i said, dude man, you feelin' alright

gener said nothin' and continued to weep

i caught papa gene ween cryin' in his sleep



i saw gener cryin' in his sleep

i tried to wake him up but he made not a peep



life at the top can be tough

sometimes u think you've seen enough

but u can find a diamond in the rough

but when it's time for bed you shouldn't

think about that stuff
