Woah, woah, woah
Once you cross that line, it ain't no tryin' to fix it
You want me to forgive you, let's be realistic
I can't kick it with your kind like I tore my meniscus
How you go from co-defendant to a ****in' witness?
They'll stand on couches with you but won't stand on business
Woah, I watched everybody turn on my brother like he ain't have 'em out here flyin' jets and ****in' bitches
This shit ridiculous
I feel your pain, my brudda
I know you from the struggle, I know how hard you hustled just to take care of you mother
I know you took clothes off your back for niggas you call, "Brotha"
I know how hard it get in this jungle, tryna prevail without bein' tried like you no sucker
Huh, life's a mother****er, yeah
I know ain't nobody perfect
But what's the point in makin' it out if all they do is cuff ya?
You know, we be comin' from like, the worst conditions, the worst circumstances
The trenches, the gutter
Sometimes we be forced to make decisions that we don't even want to make
It be about survival
At the end of the day, we be havin' good hearts
They just be in bad places
I guess that's life, though
Father God, forgive me for my sins
Take the mask off all my enemies that's out here actin' like my friends
Did some shit I'm prayin' I never gotta do again
I put bloodshed and tears inside this win
If I take care of my hood, the prosecutor call me Gotti
Turn my back on my hood, they prolly kill me, prolly rob me
It's a Catch-22, I'm bein' honest
Hard work, tryna keep the past behind me
I still be havin' flashbacks 'bout Johnny
Fast forward and the major label signed me
Had to hustle, had to focus, perseverance
Momma used to go to TJ Maxx and shop on clearance
Tayman and CJ, I can still feel their spirits
Skinny and Wanwan used to rap, I know they hear it
It ain't that easy, puttin' pain inside of lyrics
Send us up to Heaven so they can clear it
Y'all know like, real street niggas don't do this shit
And I don't want niggas to get misunderstood
'Cause the rules we live by, don't even matter no more
Just a, just a setback for you to come back
Can't hold a nigga down forever
Know what I'm sayin'
'Till then, we gon' hold this shit down, straight up

這首《letter to my brudda》像深夜裡翻開老相簿，泛黃的底片裡浮現許多我們都曾歷經的傷痕。鄧妙華用粗礪的聲線把兄弟情誼剖開來看，從「從共犯變證人」的背叛，到「幫兄弟脫困卻被當成敵人」的荒謬，字字都是街頭生存的血淚。特別喜歡他提到媽媽在TJ Maxx清倉購物的細節，那種窮得連體面都顧不上的掙扎，比任何豪華詞藻都更扎心。歌裡頭的「Catch-22」困境，正是許多在社會底層掙扎者的日常，聽得心頭一緊卻又莫名被某種堅韌感撐住。當他說「我們心地善良，只是被逼到壞地方」，突然覺得這首歌不只是告白，更像是替所有被誤解的街頭靈魂喊話。
歌曲冷知識
・歌詞用「co-defendant」與「witness」的對立，暗喻兄弟情誼在利益面前的崩解
・「jungle」與「trenches」的意象強調黑人社區的生存殘酷性，卻又以「good hearts」形成矛盾張力
・「Catch-22」直接引用文學典故，暗示主角在忠義與自保間的無解困境
・提及「TJ Maxx」與「clearance」等消費場景，隱約勾勒出貧窮環境中節省求生的細節痕跡
