Long Lost Brother

Rosewater Court, 1999
Born like two months apart
Credit Valley Hospital
My bro, my twin, my cuz
Reminiscin' on what was

Long lost, long lost brother (LLB)
Brother brother, cousin, cuz, brother
Grew up together, we strangers now
I wonder how you are, I wonder who you are
Far apart like Earth and the stars
Not at war but we cards, suits apart
Hearts and Spades, blade through my heart
I bleed in the dark

I wonder how you are as a person
I wonder what your favourite colour is
Remember as kids, playin' for hours
Now I can't even see you for an hour
We had the hand me down PlayStation 1
WWE or the Wii
Spyro or Need for Speed
Godfather or GTA San Andreas
Riding our jeep out on the street
T-Pain or Lil Wayne
I thought his name was Little Wing
Late '09 we moved into separate homes
Different cities
You stopped talking to me slowly
Shunned me through our teens
I thought maybe I wasn't cool enough
Ugly Duck
Outta luck 'cause I wasn't a guy
I always looked up to you
'Cause of you cuz
I knew I can do anything a guy does
A tomboy 'cause of you and my pops
Not fitting in with the girls
Considered a girl by the guys
I wanted them to see me as a guy
On the outskirts in shorts meant for guys
Still fly, never fit in
Born to stand out, unique
Uni dropout, never lookin' for no handouts
Felt stranded without my bro though
When you left, reminded me I'm an only child
All alone at the end of the day
A lion in the wild with the rain

Long lost, long lost brother (LLB)
Brother brother, cousin, cuz, brother
Grew up together, we strangers now
I wonder how you are, I wonder who you are
Far apart like Earth and the stars
Not at war but we cards, suits apart
Hearts and Spades, blade through my heart
I bleed in the dark

My whole life searched for a brother in others
Just the way I was with my cuz
Wished I could wave a wand
Recreate our bond, but it's been too long
We was twins doing things
Bollywood flicks to Miniclip
Clickety-click on the white big box computer
Fightin' over the TV remote, Teen Titans a vibe
Wanted to be garbage truck drivers
You're a lawyer now, I'm a rapper
They say I'm garbage so guess I came closer
A wrapper that's garbage, get it?
Eglinton and Creditview
Eating McDonald's, Roseborough Centre
Adventures and pulling pranks
Pulling Biji's old crutches out
From under the bed
Pretend to whack her hands
When she chased us up the stairs
We ain't wanna take a bath or eat fruit
Miss her too
The word bro holds so much value
'Cause of you
You the first person I told, Drake followed me
Know how much you love him
Hope I made you proud (you proud)
Long lost, long lost brother (LLB)
