I'm Not My Brother's Keeper

I'm not my brothers keeper, though he be strong or weaker Before you judge me, why not try to love me? I'll try to help you when he's wrongin' us Don't point your finger, sayin' it's all of us If a man yells hate, will my voice be heard? Does he speak for me when he chooses one bad word? When wrong is done under one persons name Should all the people have to share the blame? I'm not my brothers keeper, though he be strong or weaker Before you judge me, why not try to love me? If I do wrong, then someone make me pay But if I'm right, don't try to block my way Don't judge the story without opening up the book The good you find inside it many times is overlooked Being militant don't mean peace ain't in your heart Though we're most impatient for freedom to start I'm not my brothers keeper, though he be strong or weaker Before you judge me, why not try to love me? Don't cut into me with your knives of doubt Before you judge me, why not hear me out? Whoa, brothers! 9X I'm not my brothers keeper, though he be strong or weaker Before you judge me, why not try to love me? I'll try to help you when he's wrongin' us Don't point your finger, sayin' it's all of us
