Nah, you ain't gon' say it back 'cause you talkin' 'bout the move
Pull up, aight, see how it go (ah)
Step Brothers, Step Brothers (yeah)
4 Life
Lito
Twice a week, we was goin' cross-state to Memphis
And bruh brought me that Crossface Crippler
Said, "Y'all should do some music, y'all could make a difference"
I ain't gon' lie, I was indifferent
And Yo Gotti had called me, said he was thinkin' 'bout signin' him
Asked me if I ever heard of him and say he reminded him of me
I ain't know how to take that, wonder what made him say that?
I jumped in the car like where that tape that? Right then, I replayed that
Pulled up to the studio and Moe was watchin' ESGTV on the computer screen
And all I could say was, "Dude cold," (yeah), he the truth, though
One take with the flip camera in the booth and every beat he got a new flow (he got a new flow)
I knew his influence would grow
Since he shared a letter to his son with us and he let us peek into his soul
Prior to Step Brothers one, never knew we'd be doin' four
Least I know who we do it for
His four plus four lil' ones, yeah, that's all he rap about
2010, me and Red Dot had left court
Came down to record for The Human Torch, we was at the trap house
Fast forward, now we performin' nationwide tours in front of a packed house
We did it ourself if you ask how, split down the middle and cash out
Step Brothers for Life, nigga (step Brothers for Life, nigga)
Starlito, where exactly are you from?
(I'm from Nashville, Tennessee)
And, Don Trip, what part of town you from?
(East Memphis)
You're from East Memphis, you're from East Nashville (yeah, yeah)
So, is that the origin of how this thing came together?
How did, how did the Step Brothers come together, this whole, this whole idea?
(4 Life)
I was in my live-in studio with my brother Jae Fitz
While I was in between records, he tried to hand me a diss
He like, "Listen to this," like, "Bruh, I insist"
I'm like, "Man, I heard all these niggas, I'm never convinced"
Then he threw that shit in, I took it back out the deck
I wouldn't admit it back then, but I was rather impressed
This is back when I considered every rapper as food
I knew this nigga was sick, he needed alphabet soup
I'm on the road with Yo Gotti, he made a stop in the 'Ville
He say, "You gotta meet Star," I'm like, "What's the big deal?"
So I went to his spot just to see how he lived
'Nough guns in that motherfucker to beef with Korea
I'm like, "These niggas crazy, these niggas ill" (these niggas crazy)
They got AKs under blankets like a nigga can't see 'em
Then they walked me upstairs so I can see how he work
The first day I met Star, he got me paid for a verse
That was the realest shit ever, I will never forget it
He couldn't've known I was broke, I needed that like a kidney
He was cooler than I thought, but I was still indifferent
Until his homeboy Ed came through with that Prince's Chicken
And ever since then, me and Jermaine been on a mission
Three studio sessions and Step Brothers 1 was finished
It was out in LA, I had just signed with Cool and Dre
They told me it was a really bad idea to drop that tape
I'm like, "A'ight, cool, whatever you say"
I hung up that phone and we dropped that tape the same day
And history was made against everyone's advice
We bet the house on each other and rolled the dice
Step Brothers 4 Life, yeah (Step Brothers 4 Life, yeah)
And then history was made against everyone's advice
We bet the house on each other and rolled the dice
Step Brothers 4 Life (Step Brothers 4 Life)
We met, uh, like 2010, we actually met through Yo Gotti
Each on the road doin' some things with him, yeah
And we landed in the studio together and
I mean, the short form is the rest is history, but
We came up with an idea for a concept tape, and never really dreamt that it would
Chart as an album part two, part three
But, uh, we just kept it goin'
