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, ooh
Now you must look out for her the way she did for you
And your priority, it must be her
Now you must look out for her the way she did for you
'Cause we'll never be the way we were, ooh
She can't always be there just to hold you down
Our mother
When you are at a age now where 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
Now you must look out for her the way she did for you
Ooh, your priority, it must be her
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 her
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
And your priority, it must be her
Ooh-ooh-ooh
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 out for her the way she did for you
And your priority, it must be her
Now you must look out for her the way she did for you
'Cause we'll never be the way we were, ooh
She can't always be there just to hold you down
Our mother
When you are at a age now where 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
Now you must look out for her the way she did for you
Ooh, your priority, it must be her
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 her
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
And your priority, it must be her
Ooh-ooh-ooh
