When were young life was so unjust At times i felt it was just us Mamma working hard to put the food on the table All on her own she sacrificed Even when my sisters and brothers died Somehow she stayed strong, i never saw her cry I was the oldest and responsibility Was so immense, the tension, we'd disagree So i left at the time i felt she hated me U told me to be strong Told me to hang on, hugged me tight And said big sister it'll be alright
Chorus Brother, i love ya Little brother, i thank God for you everyday Little brother, i love ya Little brother, and i pray he'll never take u away
When my soul withered and i lived in the dark An emptiness it filled my heart U never stopped holdin me up Never stopped trying to open me up The days and nights i spent stressin The years i spent in depression, this is my confession Thought about ending it sometimes But the second that you crossed my mind I knew, i could never leave you Made me believe You set me free To this day all i say and do owe it all to you
Chorus
Ooh i would lie for you, cry for you Ride or die for you Touch the sky for you If you ask me to There's nothing i wont do I took this life for joke I would drink and smoke To ease away the pain And forget the memories in my brain But you helped me to stop the rain Oh brother brother
