Brothers

Sometimes I shed
Tears for my brothers
Tears for my brothers
It's been so much dread
Over the years for my brothers
Over the years for my brothers
Oh yeah we up high but we been low
Victories don't get talked about but failures might get pinned though
It's crazy how we only focus on negative info
And filled it out the good
(Hmm)
Will it take me out the hood
(Hmm)
I wanted to be the change
(Hmm)
But didn't know if I could
But shoulda coulda woulda ain't good
(Naw)
Came a long way from the hood
(Yea)
And they still try to bring me back every now and then
My thoughts tend to flood the cerebral cortex
Are all those demons at the door yet
They keep on knocking saying that your next
I guess they mad I'm not on board yet
Yea
But let them be mad
Cause it's easy to get lost if you don't take your own path
That's why I choose integrity over a bag
My people selling they soul is what's really making me sad
We glorifying them bars that's keeping us in the trap
And that's why
Sometimes I shed
Tears for my brothers
Tears for my brothers
It's been so much dread
Over the years from my brothers
Over the years from my brothers
Oh yeah we up high but we been low
Hard elastic hmm hmm I feel like I'm Diplo
Crocodile tears always greet me on my pillow
Water from my Willow Tree is fogging up my window
The song of inequality crescendo over my kinfolk
Aye how do we give birth to knowledge when we don't sleep with the info like a nympho
What a time to be alive and feel dead inside that's limbo
Aye he got played like Nintendo
Till the game was over like Flip tho
I bust a rhyme and flip mode
I recommend you all lay low
Cause they still coming round to your door knocking
And these demons will play you short no option
Leave money on your head no auction
Might have been better for us to be Family Guys
And head off on the road to Rhode Island
Sometimes I shed
Tears for my brothers
Tears for my brothers
It's been so much dread
Over the years from my brothers
Over the years from my brothers
Oh yeah we up high but we been low
