Brother Lyrics

Brother
It's so much that I could never say to your face
But by now
You should know the world and all it's 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 look out for her the way she did for you)
And your priority it must be her
(Now you must look out for her the way 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 an age now, where 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 you're so run through
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, hoo

(Now you must look out for her the way she did for you)
And your priority, it must be her
(Now you must look out for her the way she did for you)
'Cause we'll never be the way we were
[x2]

The way we were
We'll never be
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
And your priority,
It must be her
Ooh, ooh, hoo
