Am I your brothers keeper? Are you my brothers keeper? Am I your brothers keeper? (My brothers I keep 'em close and I'mma keep on keepin') [Verse 4: Joe Budden] Look, the love I got for ya’ll goes unsaid Was there when me and shorty unwed For that I’m always down to pump lead We formed a bond against the cowards Only grew over time in the studio for hours And tours with no showers, and towns I never heard of was no small fort But we was all sports, Slaughterhouse t-shirts in our ball shorts Quik all that other shit, thats just other shit Love is love, we ain't even gotta discuss this shit The part that's sick G? My brothers love me so much, I think their punch hit ya’ll harder than it hit me Four of the best in the world, I put a M on it And if that ain't enough I’m putting Em on it We back to hogtying beats up and stepping on it Back on our old shit just like Nino Bless is on it Crowds screaming, the fans can get excited And oh, as far as that question? I won't even dignify it [Hook: Joell Ortiz] Are you my brothers keeper? Am I your brothers keeper? Are you my brothers keeper? Am I your brothers keeper? (My brothers I keep 'em close and I'mma keep on keepin')
