Brother

Brother
There's so much that I could never say to your face
Bye, bye now
You should know the world and all its ways
So find your place

How do I find words that do not condescend
When she bore you before me?
'Cause she doesn't need a child, she needs a friend
A son not a sob story, ooh

Now you must have never heard of what she did for you
And your priority, it must be heard
Now you must have never heard of what she did for you
'Cause we'll never be the way we were, oh

She can't always be there just to hold you down
Our mother
When you are at a age now, well, life turns around
My brother

Realize that you don't have to answer to no man
Responsibility comes down to you
But how can I expect you to understand
When you live life like it's so run through

Now you must have never heard of what she did for you
Your priority, it must be heard
Now you must have never heard of what she did for you (now you must have)
'Cause we'll never be the way we were

Now you must have never heard of what she did for you (now you must)
And your priority, it must be heard
Now you must have never heard of what she did for you (now you must)
'Cause we'll never be the way we were

The way we were, we'll never be, ooh
And your priority, it must be heard, ooh
