The Afro-Brazilian-flavored “Brother Sport” moves from one chanted melodic nugget to the next before building to a huge swirl of psychedelic sound that encompasses rave sirens and immersive tribal drums.
As the title suggests, the song is about Noah Benjamin Lennox' brother—specifically it is meant...
Brother Sport Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Open up your, open up your
Open up your throat
And let all of that time
All of that time, all of that time go
I know it sucks that Daddy's done
But try to think of what you want
You've got to open up your
Open up your, open up your throat
Matt
[Refrain]
Open up your, open up your
Open up your, open up your
Open up your, open up your
Open up your, open up your
Open up your, open up your
Open up your, open up your
Open up your, open up your
Open up your throat
[Verse 2]
Open up your, open up your
Open up your throat
And let all of that time
All of that time, all of that time go
I know it sucks that Daddy's done
But try to think of what you want
You got to open up your
Open up your, open up your throat
Matt
[Pre-Chorus]
Support your brother
Support your brother (Sport brother)
Support your brother
Support your brother (Sport brother)
Support your brother
Support your brother (Sport brother)
Support your brother
Support your brother (Sport brother)
Support your brother
Support your brother (Sport brother)
Support your brother
Support your brother (Sport brother)
Support your brother
Support your brother (Sport brother)
Support your brother
Support (Sport brother)
[Chorus]
You've got his way and what he said
To help you shape the way you play
You've got to get rid of the more
Conservative habits of your mind
(You've got to have a real good time)
You got to weigh all he said
He helped you shape the way you play
You've got to get rid of the more
Conservative habits of your mind
(You've got to have a real good time)
You got to weigh all he said
He helped you shape the way you play
You've got to get rid of the more
Conservative habits of your mind
(You've got to have a real good time)
You got to weigh all he said
He helped you shape the way you play
You've got to get rid of the more
Conservative habits of your mind
(You've got to have a real good time)
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
