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
