- Brothers On The Slide LyricsBrothers on the slide
Working on the wrong side
What ya gonna do
You can't win so you know you must lose
We know which way you goin
We know which way you goin
Brothers on the slide
What you gonna hide
Reckon your folks late
Its a shame but int no game
We know which way you goin
We know which way you goin
Slowly sliding
We're doing all that we can
Slowly sliding
But so is the man
Slowly sliding
Gettin closer day by day
Slowly sliding
Gonna put you away
Brothers on the slide
Soon you'll be inside
Know or not what they'll do to you
Make you pay up all you due
We know which way you goin
We know which way you goin
Slowly sliding
We doin all that we can
Slowly sliding
But so is the man
Slowly sliding
Gettin closer day by day
Slowly sliding
Gonna put you away
We know which way you goin
We know which way you goin
We know which way you goin

We know which way you goin (fade)
Working on the wrong side

You can't win so you know you must lose
We know which way you goin

Brothers on the slide
What you gonna hide
Reckon your folks late
Its a shame but int no game
We know which way you goin
We know which way you goin
Slowly sliding
We're doing all that we can
Slowly sliding
But so is the man
Slowly sliding
Gettin closer day by day
Slowly sliding
Gonna put you away
Brothers on the slide
Know or not what they'll do to you
Make you pay up all you due
We know which way you goin
