I do what I believe the Lord has called me to do. My ministry is based on this: "If you cant take the streets to church, take church to the streets". Feel it.
My brother showed me so much through the pain he caused me and my family. Now he's changed and this song is what God has put in me to give to him.
Lyrics
My Brother
Verse 1
It all started when I was five / just a child
Remember cryin tears late at night / scared for my life
Memories of all of the constant fights / and all the times
I looked you in your eyes, beleived your lies / thought you were right
But now I see that I was oh so wrong / blinded by love
I hid my pain inside for oh so long / hurt by your drugs
Told you I loved you on the telephone / and gave you hugs
But inside i really wanted you gone / wished we werent blood
Believe me those aren't times I'm gonna miss /never reminisce
Even had visions of your casket / and sometimes wished
That you would leave my life and leave this earth / Its sad to say
But I envisioned you deep in the dirt / like every day
Now I think back on all the pain you caused / it hurt so much
Hearing your voice on the phone when you called / it was so ruff
Never thought I could feel the way I feel / boy it was tuff
But now I see that nothing is more real / than brothers love
Nothing more real then what I feel inside / my deepest thoughts
Feelings to real to even try to hide / or to be lost
Loved you from the start and until the end / without a cost
Made it through both the thick and thin / and fights we fought
Chorus (2x)
Im here to tell you my brotha
That i love ya like no other
Same father different mother
Still i put no one above ya
Sick and tired of feelin all alone
thats why i made song
We both did wrong, but now we're grown
We need to move our lives on
Verse 2
Why did you do the things that you did / im confused
Livin the dirty life that you lived / breakin the rules
Always mad, on tip about to flip / actin a fool
I guess you had a rough time as a kid / could you not choose
To change your life and change your ways bro / now you have
I wished you'd paced yourself then and went slow / it is so sad
So many years we could have been so close / but it was bad
So many years I thought you as a foe / cauz I was mad
Caught up tryin to choose between wrong and right / where should I turn
You preached the gospel to me between fights / oh how I learned
Saw deep inside your heart, you had the light / as pages turned
Through my life up until this point in time / now I wont burn
Because of you now I have found the love / I found the truth
You are a blessing sent from up above / just living proof
That through fights and all these shoulder shrugs / I've had with you
Lost in the battlefield was our love / its now pulled through
I feel real bad inside for saying all / these harsh things
Dont take it wrong but everything I saw / was drugs and drinks
They covered up the smiles and good times / and made me think
Thats why I put this story into rhymes / thats why I sing
Its not to down you or deface your name / or cause pain
Believe me brother both of our lives have changed / these old thangs
Ended quick they didnt stay the same / But we maintained
The love we had inside, it wasnt slain / its not in vain
You'll never see how much you mean to me / words cant express
The things that you allowed me to see / I have been blessed
To have a brother like the one I have / you are the best
We'll pull through both the good and the bad/ pull through the stress
Chorus(til end)
Im here to tell you my brotha
That i love ya like no other
Same father different mother
Still i put no one above ya
Sick and tired of feelin all alone
thats why i made song
We both did wrong, but now we're grown
We need to move our lives on
