Brotherly Love

[Intro]
Brotherly love, you know. No matter what it takes, just make sure I can hold my brother down. You know. Maybe harsh at times, maybe tough at times, but at the end of the day, his my best friend. Teach him right from wrong. Help him succeed in the future. That's about it

[Bridge]
I ain't really understand what you left for
Had a real hard time tryna let go
Why the racist motherfuckers took your dad breath for?
Xoxo, this brotherly love

[Verse 1]
I ain't really understand what you left for
Had a real hard time tryna let go
Why the racist motherfuckers took your dad breath for?
Xoxo, this brotherly love
Wish Pac, wish Big never had beef
You was right by my side on these mad streets
Ran around the old town like a track meet
Bloodline too deep, that's brotherly love
It was us, it was Nicki, it was Shelby
Baby boo, momma didn't have to sell me
Donna, your momma, with David, our pops
Sister, there were a lot of drama, but the love never stopped
It go, brotherly love, I trust my kinfolk
Holdin' back these tears through the pen strokes
Shared a lot of true gems with each other, yo
Some went in the one ear and out the other, bro
You stand solid as a rock on the ten toes
Now we watchin' our young kings and queens grow
So many things we done dreamed to achieve
Read your letter, and I see same things you see in me
I never aimed to please all of these folks passed
From the heart to the mind to the notepad
So many spent years apart, it was so sad
Remember first hearin' your dad was my dad
Your blood is my blood, your love is my love
My success is your success
Long as life in these lungs
Legacy of our little ones will be sprung
From the strongest roots, uh
One love to my kinfolk, I love you
Do anything for you, loyal to you
You already know this brotherly love
Brotherly love, brotherly love

[Verse 2]
I ain't really understand what we split for
Had a real hard time with the shit though
You really feel like I got hate for white people, bro?
Still love you to the end, that's brotherly love
I wish JAY-Z and Dame never had beef
You was right by my side on these mad streets
Ran around the whole town like a track meet
Friendship too deep, that's brotherly love
It was us, it was Nicki, it was B too
Joell and baby boo was still eatin' gurble food
Your mother my mother, your father my pops
Ask my godchild Ezekiel, no second thoughts because
Brotherly love, I lost trust a bit, bro
Holdin' back these tears through the pen strokes
Shared a lot of true gems with each other, yo
Some went in one ear and out the other, bro
You stand solid as a rock on the ten toes
Lost a lot of time, young kings and queens grown
So many things we done dreamed to achieve
Got your call, couldn't believe the things you see in me
I never aimed to please all of these folks passed
From the heart to the mind to the notepad
So many years spent apart, it's been so sad
Remember first hearin' you was joinin' my class
Your blood ain't my blood, still your love is my love
My success is your success
Long as life in these lungs
Legacy of our little ones will be sprung
From the strongest roots, uh
One love to my best friend, I miss you
Do anything for you, loyal to you
You already know this brotherly love
Brotherly love
