Brother

Oh the pressure, pressure yeah

When we were young, life was so unjust at times I felt it was just us
Mama working hard to put food on the table
All on her own she sacrificed even when my brothers and sisters died
Some how 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
Told me to be strong, told me to hang on
Hugged me tight, and said, "Big sister it'll be alright"

Brother, I love ya, little brother
I thank God for ya every day
Little brother, I love ya, little brother
And I pray He'll never take you away

When my soul withered and I lived in the dark
An emptiness it filled my heart you never stopped holdin' me up
Never stopped tryin' 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 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, I owe it all to you

Brother, I love ya, little brother
I thank God for you every day
Little brother, I love ya, little brother
And I pray He'll never take you away

Ooh, I would lie for you, cry for you, ride or die for you
Touch the sky for you if you asked me to theres nothin' I wont do
I took this life for joke, I would drink or smoke to ease away the pain
And forget the memories up in my brain
But you helped me to stop the rain oh brother brother

Brother, I love ya, little brother
I thank God for you every day
Little brother, I love ya, little brother
And I pray He'll never take you away

Brother, I love ya, little brother
I thank God for you every day
Little brother, I love ya, little brother
And I pray He'll never take you away
