Brother’s Keeper

[Prelude]
A mental stroll down a melodic path

[Verse 1]
I wanna step in my mind so I can stretch my mind
I wanna step in my mind so I can stretch my mind
Praise the one above everyday for forgiveness
Forgiveness is a gift and the takers stopped giving
Whats you giving? How you living?
Do you love your brother man like the Lord loves his children?
Every time I check him he's getting in deeper!
Lord be my keeper and Lord be my witness
Its tough when the world teaches us self interest
Who to love and who to trust
Don't worry who to love cause you can't love enough
And yeah my brothers got my back
Cause when I'm outta control they put the train back on track
And when we hang we're always with each other
Cause they ain't heavy man they're my brothers

[Chorus]
Am I my brothers keeper ?
Am I my brothers friend ?
Am I my brothers keeper ?
Am I my brothers keeper?

Whats your problem man?
Their ain't a problem man
Cause last I heard we were brothers man

[Verse 2]
Boom Boom Ba Dap Ba Dap Boom
Boom Boom Ba Dap Ba Dap Boom
Boom Boom Ba Dap Ba Dap Boom
Boom Boom stick'em huh huh stick'em
Walking thru the caverns of my mind state
My father gives me all the food I need to eat on my plate
So I'm an ingrate cause I wanna integrate
Don't want to separate live my life drapped in hate
Moving in directions but going separate ways
The ends to the means but I mean the ends are frayed
Coming untangled and separate from the shoe
We can't walk together till we find the soul glue
Purpose in my heart that I should uplift
The people that my father bestowed a different gift to
Maybe one of color or character in depth
I simply know my calling is to give each one respect

[Chorus]
Am I my brothers keeper ?
Am I my brothers friend ?
Am I my brothers keeper ?
Am I my brothers keeper?

[Verse 3]
Am I the keeper of my brother is my brother my keeper?
Every time I check him he's getting in deeper
And less shallow are the things that I felt
Like my responsibilities the hand that he was dealt
Two jacks, a queen, a king, an ace of hearts
The whole is the sum of all of its parts
Prior to elaborating I must define
Who is my brother who is my kind
Who gets the props when I gets to drop'em
The birds of a feather they stick together
Forever we've been thinking that our kind is our race
But all of us got two eyes, a nose and a .....(face)
Pride in the past is a serious bind
But aren't we to have some pride in mankind
I am my brothers keeper to this I am agreeing
But I define my brother as another human being

[Chorus]
Am I my brothers keeper ?
Am I my brothers friend ?
Am I my brothers keeper ?
Am I my brothers keeper?
