"Brother" lyrics

Brother

Brother
It's so much that I could never say
To your face
But by 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

Now you must look out for her
The way she did for you
And your priority it must be heard
Now you must look out for her
The way she did for you
Cause we'll never be the way we were

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 look out for her
The way she did for you
And your priority, it must be heard
Now you must look out for her
The way she did for you
Cause we'll never be the way we were

Now you must look out for her
The way she did for you
And your priority, it must be heard
Now you must look out for her
The way she did for you
Cause we'll never be the way we were

The way we were
We'll never be
At your priority, it must be her
