We are supposed to be sisters and brothers
But all we do is constantly dog one another
We are supposed to act as each other`s cover
But we keep at each other`s throat
Each other`s throat
Each other`s throat
Yo, it ain`t no joke
We`re at each other`s throat -Aowl, Aowl
We are supposed to spread love and not evil
But we`ve been acting more like heathens than people
Treating our fellow-man far worse than illegal
Cause we keep at each other`s throat
Each other`s throat
Each other`s throat
Yo, it ain`t no joke
We`re at each other`s throat -Aowl, Aowl
Ut oh, 11 o`clock pm and here`s the news
Another fatality caused by a family feud
Charged, tried, sentenced by the jury of a brother`s gun
Made sister`s fiancee`s wedding never to be sung
He didn`t like the way he treated the girl
So the boy played God, pow, he ended his world
He made a plea for temporary insanity
But left his sister insane permanently
This ain`t new, this stuff happens everyday
Somebody doesn`t like someone so they blow them away
Too fast for reason, too quick to negotiate
Regret and sorrow happens a split second too late
Jealousy for power, greed for possession
Selfishness so you give someone a faked out impression
Speaking of which I`m truly not impressed
So if seeing is believin`-I don`t wanna see the mess
Heartless are we on the straight with no chaser
As if for negativity we got the vapors
Know as I love me so I do love my neighbor
Cause we are too busy at each other`s throat
Each other`s throat
Each other`s throat
Yo, it ain`t no joke
We`re at each other`s throat -Aowl, Aowl
(Repeat)
