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
