Murs - Brotherly Love Lyrics
This is dedicated to all my little brothers, little homies, yo check it out[Verse 1]Man you 21 now and I still can believe itBeen living on your own, just hard to conceiveThat you on the right track, out pursuing that knowledgeBut a few years back I couldn't see you in collegeYou was all out cripping, brought a gun in the houseMy first thought was to take it, give you one to the mouthBut never that, we been through way to muchI always tried to give you guidance but not say too muchTried to lead by example, didn't I have some nerveTelling you stay out the street while I was out slanging herbBut I always preferred you do it smarter then meYou didn't have to prove nothing being harder then meYou helped mom at the cleanersStayed away from misdemeanorsI was proud of you thenPlease believe I still amDon't let the world get you down, throw you off your programLife is hard, even harder on a young black manIf it gets rough blow a blunt and bump some more slow jamsKnow every man with a badge is probably a punkBut don't ever risk your freedom, just to throw one punchLet a coward be a coward, he has to deal with his pastI know these pigs deserve it but give em a passI know you wanna keep it gangster, just do it with classAbove all remember this, no matter how big you getI'm still your big brother and I can always whoop your ass[Chorus]They say a wise man knows nothing, so I know a lot lessBut I been where you at homie, put to the testThe answer lies deep within, so open your chestAnd find God within yourself and he'll show you the restI know the world is against you and your going through stressBut long as you still breathing God, and know you been blessedThe only sin is giving up, there's no need to confessFind a God within yourself and he'll show you the rest[Verse 2]Now take that doo-rag off when you get in my rideMan that shit aint fresh, you're supposed to wear it insideNot under bandannas or under a capI might be getting old but I don't understand thatYou want your hoodie on or off, please make up your mindTrapped in a rap video, losing your mindGetting lost through someone else helps you find yourselfI guess that's how it worksI seen this kid the other day with murder written on his shirtAnd never been to a funeralNow am I out of touch, if I say it's unusualThis dude will sing a love ballad to his homeboys, before a young ladyNow aint that crazyIf you didn't love that ***** then why you make her keep your babyOoh abortions not rightBut just the other nightYou were a killer pull a trigger before you have a fare fightBut if you value one, then why not value every lifeIts obvious you know the difference between wrong and rightIts not about being self, its hard to follow the lightWhen you're surrounded by darkness, almost drowning in evilBeen searching for some help but still aint found no real peopleHere's a shout, know we out here, we struggling tooSome of us do it legal; some will thug our way throughWe got to fight to show the world that our youth are intelligentSo keep it gangster in your CD changer, not your residence[Chorus]They say a wise man knows nothing, so I know a lot lessBut I been where you at homie, put to the testThe answer lies deep within, so open your chestAnd find God within yourself and he'll show you the restI know the world is against you and your going through stressBut long as you still breathing God, and know you been blessedThe only sin is giving up, there's no need to confessFind a God within yourself and he'll show you the rest
