BROTHERHOOD

[Chorus: Avelino] See my brothers in the hood held onto brotherhood Sharin' what we had even though they're stolen goods I just couldn't stand bein' so misunderstood They'll judge you by the cover and then they'll throw the book Sat here thinkin' about situations I was in Still can't believe all the places that I've been Just to take it in, gotta take another trip Luggage full of baggage, that's pain I'm carryin' But my brothers in the hood held onto brotherhood Sharing what we had even though they're stolen goods I just couldn't stand bеing so misunderstood, yeah We was so misundеrstood [Verse: Avelino] So my brothers in the hood held onto brotherhood We was down bad but, no, it weren't for good Starin' at the future, I had to take a look I need my lucky break, tired of breakin' down buj Brown liquor all in my red cup when I'm lean At the Crown Plaza, I wake up like a king Just to take it in, got to take another trip Flying everywhere but my bros still on the wing So deep in the cut, I had no time for a trim Hit a standstill, I moved onto better things Couldn't make it work, tell me why we're arguin' Had a forest fire, weren't trying to burn your bridge Now the smoked settled, I'm finally kinda rich Still show love 'cause it doesn't cost a thing Whole load of anger inside me as a kid Now when I'm seein' red it's the carpet at the BRITs Never left the country and now we're travelin' Open up them borders, let all my bruddas in Runnin' out of breath, but I caught a second wind We took hella L's but it taught us how to win [Chorus: Avelino] See my brothers in the hood held onto brotherhood Sharing what we had even though they're stolen goods I just couldn't stand being so misunderstood They'll judge you by the cover and then they'll throw the book Started thinking about situations I was in Still can't believe all the places that I've been Just to take it in, gotta take another trip Luggage full of baggage, this pain I'm carrying [Bridge: Tiggs Da Author] It just me and my bros Playing with keys, the doors are closed Can't see where I'm going Godspeed, man can't slow down Be patient, my brother, be patient Be patient, my brother, be patient I got trauma, PTSD from the corner Skipped school and was outside playin' with the wolves And that shit taught us Brotherhood If you got me, my nigga, then I got you Brotherhood If you got me, my nigga, then I got you [Outro] I-I-I've paid the price for the crimes I've committed I've been penalised through penitentiary and incarceration All these things have happened 'cause of the life that I've lived That was my consequence of my actions Of the trial and tribulation of my life has been lived and accepted
