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
