Brotherhood

My brother still cries out most nights
He still ain't got over my uncles life
I try to come over a couple nights a week
To have a little chat to make sure the n***a is sweet
I have to remind myself the future's bright
And bring a spliff to my lips at almost every night
I use to flip a zip almost fucking every day
I'm fucking lucky that I didn't catch an indictment
You see the old days were full of excitement
Nothing to fear with the lads by my side dem
And if a c*nt was abrupt then we would fight dem
Into our brotherhood protect and revive them
And tell them fuck any cunt that don't like them
But still my brother still cries every night
He can't get over my uncles life
Yeah yeah yeah
And it kills me that I can't heal him
Protect him like he used to do for me
And when I was outside dodgy dealing
He took the blame and he said it weren't me
But now my brother still cries most evenings
I wish, I wish he could get over his grief
I wish I could take the pain he's feeling
And transport all the shit into me
Woah, woah woah my eyes well up
I force myself to get up and take it on the chin
My mate Charlie, Charlie's under pressure
Three little children inside his little army
But but the govna he's got PTSD
His cousin Tommy died and he can't let it be
I tell him talk talk talk to anybody
Especially geeza, geeza please talk to me
Sixteen and we shared a fucking bed
Me Charlie, Taylor, Leon and Terry-E
And when I didn't have anywhere to sleep
My mate Shearburke yeah he let me stay at his
Fucking Brotherhood we have it fucking deep
That's how it goes man when you come out the east
But still my brother before he sleeps
My Nanny had a stroke but she's still a fucking G
And it kills me that I can't heal him
Protect him like he would do for me
And when I was outside dodgy dealing
He took the blame and he said it weren't me
But now my brother still cries most evenings
Because he cannot get over his grief
I wish I could take away the pain he's feeling
And transport all that shit into me
And I gotta gotta keep these tears in
Cause if I let em out I got no hope
I can't swim
I said I said I said
And I gotta gotta keep these tears in
Cause if I let em out I got no hope
I can't swim
I said I said I said
And I gotta gotta keep these tears in
Cause if I let em out I got no hope
I can't swim
Oh, Oh Oh Oh
