Ms. Dynamite - Brother Lyrics

When we were young life was so unjust
At times I felt it was just us
Mumma workin' hard 2 put food on the table
All on her own she sacrificed
Even when my sisters and brothers died
Somehow she stayed strong I never saw her cry
I was the oldest and responsibility
was so immense, the tension, we'd disagree
So I left cos at the time I felt she hated me
U told me to be strong
Told me 2 hang on hugged me tight
And said big sister it'll be alright

Brother I love ya
Little brother I thank god 4 you every day
Little brother I love ya
Little brother and I pray he'll never take u away

When my soul withered and I lived in the dark
An emptiness it filled my heart
U never stopped holdin' me up never stopped
tryin' 2 open me up
The days n nights I spent stressin'
The years I spent in depression this is my confession
thought bout endin' it sometime
But the second that u crossed my mind
I knew I could never leave u
Made me believe
U set me free
2 this day all I say and do I owe it all 2 u

Brother I love ya
Little brother I thank god 4 you every day
Little brother I love ya
Little brother and I pray he'll never take u away

Ooh I would lie 4 u, cry 4 u,
Ride or die 4 u,
Touch the sky 4 u,
If u ask me 2
Theres nothin' I won't do
I took this life 4 joke
I would drink and smoke
2 ease away the pain
And forget the memories in my brain
But u helped me 2 stop the rain
Oh brother brother

Brother I love ya
Little brother I thank god 4 you every day
Little brother I love ya
Little brother and I pray he'll never take u away

Brother I love ya
Little brother I thank god 4 you every day
Little brother I love ya
Little brother and I pray he'll never take u away
