Brother

[Verse 1]

Brother, there's so much that I could never say to your face

But by now, you should know the world and all its ways

So find your place

How do I find words that do not condescend?

When she bore you before me

'Cause she doesn't need a child, she needs a friend

A son, not a sob story, ooh

[Chorus]

(Now you must look out for her the way she did for you)

And your priority, it must be her

(Now you must look out for her the way she did for you)

'Cause we'll never be the way we were, ooh

[Verse 2]

She can't always be there just to hold you down

Our mother

When you are at a age now where life turns around

My brother

Realise that you don't have to answer to no man

Responsibility comes down to you

But how can I expect you to understand

When you live life like it's a run-through

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

[Chorus]

(Now you must look out for her the way she did for you)

Ooh, your priority, it must be her

(Now you must look out for her the way she did for you)

(Now you must look out)

'Cause we'll never be the way we were

(Now you must look out for her the way she did for you)

(Now you must)

And your priority, it must be her

(Now you must look after her the way she did for you)

(Now you must look out for her)

'Cause we'll never be the way we were

[Outro]

The way we were

We'll never be

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

And your priority, it must be her

Ooh-ooh-ooh
