Lyrics

Be There

[Verse 1]

I know I'm hardly ever home

And it's hard to ever get me on the phone

But you get me, I'll never leave you alone

You ain't with me but I got you

I'll spot you if your money's ever low

But kill all that pride shit cause brothers don't hide shit

Different mothers never made us siblings divided

Our father taught us lessons through the way he provided

When talking about bonds this as strong as the tie gets

What ever you choose to do in life, I'm behind it

And shout out to my brothers not related by blood

Some people think I made it, if it's true it's because

I had a team that when shit got real, and I doubted my dreams

They'd remind me it ain't as hard as it seems

I just hope that I can pay them all back for the advice that they gave

Will I ever match the price to be paid

I don't know, but I'll spend my whole life trying to make things right

If you need me, I'ma be within sight

And we gon' be alright

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

Crazy to be your older brother

There's women but my sisters in the category other

I guess I got a fear of some shit that I did

Being done to them by some nigga they love dear

I only hope that the lessons that I gave them as kids

Stay with them in relationships and they know the biz

Cause y'all are young women now and I see you as such

No need to worry cause the cloth that we cut from tough

Y'all troopers in the moment of clutch, don't ever give up

But when things rough, just know I'm there

A liver, heart or kidney know that you've got a spare

I hope to be your role model, a best friend and brother

From the bottom of my heart, you know I love you

The world is yours but I'ma hold it till you're ready

And hand it over to you when your situation's steady

Just finish your college, live a little, and make some mistakes

The type you bounce back from, no permanent aches

And I got you if it's ever more than you can take
