| Brother blood, brother blood
|
| We’re of the same spirit, of the same mud
|
| Brother blood, brother blood
|
| We" re from the same water, we’re from the same
|
| I’ve got scars from livin', scars from love
|
| Strike me dead if I’m lyin'
|
| I’ve got brothers below, and brothers above
|
| With all of our blood we are tryin'
|
| I keep tryin' for everything
|
| It comes a piece at a time
|
| I’ve got a mountain I’m determined to climb
|
| But I took the heat, created the beat
|
| And I’ve got the heart of a lion
|
| I’ve got friends who are dead, friends in jail
|
| I’ve got friends who are policemen
|
| And the girls I know now, the girls I knew then
|
| I still make my music to please them
|
| I keep tryin' for everything
|
| I don’t count the cost
|
| But 1 see an ocean I’m determined to cross
|
| 'Cause I look the heat, created the beat
|
| And I’ve got the strength of a dragon
|
| I’ve got dnims of the jungle, drums of the street
|
| Dmms of the Indian chief
|
| I’ve got the fire of the gospel, a river of blues
|
| And I got the soul of belief
|
| And I keep tryin' for everything
|
| It’s been a long, long road
|
| I’ve got a song that’s about to explode
|
| I was born to the beat that pounds like the heat
|
| And I’ve got the drums of the spirit
|
| Brother blood, brother blood
|
| We’re of the same spirit, of the same mud
|
| Brother blood, brother blood
|
| We’re from the same water, we’re from the same
|
| Quand bondieu vie' ou li prend! |
