Brother (feat. Gin Wigmore)

I got my elbow on the window sill

Hand on my face looking out to the world

A lot of questions lay awake in my brain

And I'm still trying to suss out what I'ma say

And if I do speak on some things

Is it you that's gon' cup all that haste?

So here it goes

Why is it that when some guy makes it out of hood life

There like, no, we can't let ya?

Handin' out five-O to rape girls

Then compensate them like they the victim is so wrong

Expect us working people to fund your wages

For you to uphold the law, which is what exactly?

That I really need to know

Till then I'll stare out of my window

I probably won't get an answer for that one

I've got some questions in my mind

That definitely need some answers

Right now 'cause I gotta know

Got all the pieces to the puzzle but can't seem to make it fit

So I'm lost, tell me where to go

But you turned your back and you went away

It's making me crazy

I feel so alone

Why did you turn your back?

Why did you go away?

'Cause you were my brother and you should of stayed

Listen, I lay awake at night

Lookin' up at the ceiling tryna clear my mind

I can't sleep with the shit that I seen today

Seen a dude in the dairy get stabbed for change

He passed away

His parents won't pass the payment

I feel like you just came and let the rain in

It feels like you just let it happen, man

Take away a kid's life just because he ten

Damn, why you let us get ahead

If you let them pull us back right before they see the end?

Please tell me you understand, why you took away my friend?

Son to brother, a lost soul, my brother, I gotta know

I got some questions in my mind that definitely need some answers

Right now 'cause I gotta know

Got all the pieces to the puzzle but can't seem to make it fit

So I'm lost, tell me where to go

But you turned your back and you went away

It's making me crazy, I feel so alone

Why did you turn your back?

Why did you go away?

'Cause you were my brother and you should of stayed

Listen, I got a few things on my mind I can't really explain to you

But I gotta try

First I wanna know all the things

Why you lettin' your little slang rocks on the side?

But blocks will do whatever

Do you really think it's making it better?

'Cause what I see is a cold world living

Your little sister known as a hood rat

Giving all the hood that

Bet you all she wanna do is fit in

Why you lettin' your daddy abuse your children?

When they go to school bruised, they making excuses

Why is the majority of friends that you have all gang affilated

Hurting the innocent?

I've got some questions in my mind that definitely need some answers

Right now 'cause I gotta know

Got all the pieces to the puzzle but can't seem to make it fit

So I'm lost, tell me where to go

I've got some questions in my mind that definitely need some answers

Right now 'cause I gotta know

Got all the pieces to the puzzle but can't seem to make it fit

So I'm lost, tell me where to go

I've got some questions in my mind that definitely need some answers

Right now 'cause I gotta know

Got all the pieces to the puzzle but can't seem to make it fit

So I'm lost, tell me where to go

If you turned your back and you went away

It's making me crazy, I feel so alone

Why did you turn your back? Why did you go away?

'Cause you were my brother and you should of stayed
