Brotherly Love Lyrics - Singles - Murs

This is dedicated to all my little brothers, little homies, yo check it out 

(Verse 1) 

Man you 21 now and I still can believe it 

Been living on your own, just hard to conceive 

That you on the right track, out pursuing that knowledge 

But a few years back I couldn't see you in college 

You was all out cripping, brought a gun in the house 

My first thought was to take it, give you one to the mouth 

But never that, we been through way to much 

I always tried to give you guidance but not say too much 

Tried to lead by example, didn't I have some nerve 

Telling you stay out the street while I was out slanging herb 

But I always preferred you do it smarter then me 

You didn't have to prove nothing being harder then me 

You helped mom at the cleaners 

Stayed away from misdemeanors 

I was proud of you then 

Please believe I still am 

Don't let the world get you down, throw you off your program 

Life is hard, even harder on a young black man 

If it gets rough blow a blunt and bump some more slow jams 

Know every man with a badge is probably a punk 

But don't ever risk your freedom, just to throw one punch 

Let a coward be a coward, he has to deal with his past 

I know these pigs deserve it but give em a pass 

I know you wanna keep it gangster, just do it with class 

Above all remember this, no matter how big you get 

I'm still your big brother and I can always whoop your ass 

(Chorus) 

They say a wise man knows nothing, so I know a lot less 

But I been where you at homie, put to the test 

The answer lies deep within, so open your chest 

And find God within yourself and he'll show you the rest 

I know the world is against you and your going through stress 

But long as you still breathing God, and know you been blessed 

The only sin is giving up, there's no need to confess 

Find a God within yourself and he'll show you the rest

(Verse 2) 

Now take that doo-rag off when you get in my ride 

Man that shit aint fresh, you're supposed to wear it inside 

Not under bandannas or under a cap 

I might be getting old but I don't understand that 

You want your hoodie on or off, please make up your mind 

Trapped in a rap video, losing your mind 

Getting lost through someone else helps you find yourself 

I guess that's how it works 

I seen this kid the other day with murder written on his shirt 

And never been to a funeral 

Now am I out of touch, if I say it's unusual 

This dude will sing a love ballad to his homeboys, before a young lady 

Now aint that crazy 

If you didn't love that bitch then why you make her keep your baby 

Ooh abortions not right 

But just the other night 

You were a killer pull a trigger before you have a fare fight 

But if you value one, then why not value every life 

Its obvious you know the difference between wrong and right 

Its not about being self, its hard to follow the light 

When you're surrounded by darkness, almost drowning in evil 

Been searching for some help but still aint found no real people 

Here's a shout, know we out here, we struggling too 

Some of us do it legal; some will thug our way through 

We got to fight to show the world that our youth are intelligent 

So keep it gangster in your CD changer, not your residence 

Photos 

(Chorus) 

They say a wise man knows nothing, so I know a lot less 

But I been where you at homie, put to the test 

The answer lies deep within, so open your chest 

And find God within yourself and he'll show you the rest 

I know the world is against you and your going through stress 

But long as you still breathing God, and know you been blessed 

The only sin is giving up, there's no need to confess 

Find a God within yourself and he'll show you the rest
