lyrics

A Song for My Brother

(Intro)
Top Billion CMG (CMG). I dedicate this song to my brother Chris.
Am I my brother’s keeper? Yes I am,
I’ll do my duty to the best I can,
God as my witness raising my left hand,
I pledge to my fam…

(Chorus)
Blood of my blood, Flesh of my flesh,
Part of my heart I swear to protect,
If you ever need me, seek me,
I got you covered… Anything,
You’re my brother.
Blood of my blood, Flesh of my flesh,
Part of my heart I swear to protect,
If you ever need me, seek me,
I got you covered… Anything,
You’re my brother.

(Verse 1)
I only got one in my life,
Blood brother: the only real type,
Some people say that we look alike,
I’d say I’m more handsome but that could start a fight,
Alright! See, a single child wouldn’t know what this feel like,
Living with a sibling you have rollercoaster feelings,
One day we chilling playing heroes and villains,
I swing too hard; hit him, then we fight,
That’s when we’re kids… babies… barely out the crib,
I’d win. I’m 2 years older than him,
But I look at Chris now and this kid’s getting big,
But shit… I wouldn’t want it with him, But
(Bridge)
Am I my brother’s keeper? Yes I am,
I’ll do my duty to the best I can,
God as my witness raising my left hand,
I’ll take that stand and pledge to my fam

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)
Through my teenage years I had drama with,
Mama, Papa, and you saw alotta,
Times I’d plummet… times I got punished,
Times I walked out of the house and said ‘fuck it,’
Yeah, you witnessed all that; Good and the Bad,
Sometimes I ponder I what kind of big brother you had,
I never saw myself as a role model, never thought to,
Now I’m feeling awful for not being your example in the past,
We barely looked up to dad, I shoulda been the closest friend you had,
Instead I look back and I’m full of regrets like when I was mad,
And trashed your Nintendo DS,
Now we can laugh at how I got vexed,
But that can’t mask my plea for forgiveness,
Brother, I ask overlook where I missed,
And in the future remember just this, please!

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

(Verse 3)
I love my brother like no other,
No one he’s under everyone he ‘bove ya,
We got inside jokes you can’t discover,
Outside fucker peepin’ in through shutters,
For him I’ll gut ya, Link-style cut ya,
That’s a Wii joke… shoutout Smash Brothers,
When I get my cheese up he can put his feet up,
I heard you’re going for engineering,
That’s Peace, Bruh,
All I can say is read up,
College ‘bout staying head you don’t wanna play keep up,
Don’t skip class… keep your sleep up,
I’m here for you, man, I promise not to leave the

(Chorus)

(Outro)
I love you, bro.
