| 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, ooh
|
| (Now you must look after her the way she did for you)
|
| And your priority it must be heard
|
| (Now you must look after 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 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
|
| Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, hoo
|
| (Now you must look after her the way she did for you)
|
| And your priority, it must be heard
|
| (Now you must look after her the way she did for you)
|
| Cause we’ll never be the way we were
|
| The way we were
|
| We’ll never be
|
| Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
|
| At your priority, it must be her
|
| Ooh, ooh, hoo |
