Sounds like its about a junkie. The "mama" he mentions could be trying to help him get clean but he doesn't want help, "Take care into the hall", but tell my friends im fine, and not usin nothin. As far as him burning out his eyes, maybe he's referring to the feeling of his first hit, or maybe saw a friend o.d. but was too high to do anything about it, standing like "a block of stone" knowing nothin. "Brothers" are the other junkies, and none of em feel they're strong enough to kick the habit. Oh and "being born" turned on to the drugs.
