Yo real talk... I shed a few tears doing this song... this is raw emotion... let it soak in... I am no longer joking...
Verse 1:
If you could only see my underlying intent,
And know that I'm truly loyal to family, let me vent,
I'm tired of being misunderstood, my two cents,
I'm tired of us not being good, with loose ends,
Let's tie it up tight, once and for all, a truce bends,
And promises break,
But hey we've all made our share of mistakes,
Let's share the responsibility,
And settle our differences,
Who cares about my misery,
I miss you, I miss your kids,
Eventually, you're gonna have to face your brother,
And accept me,
We're flesh and blood, the same mother,
Don't neglect me,
You should know better, I will not be ignored,
I've endured thru all this bad weather,
If things don't get better, I'll build myself a cellar,
And die alone, a legendary underground dweller,
I'm in the zone, no one can rock a microphone better,
I know you know that like you know we family forever
Hook:
I figured this the only way,
That I could really reach you,
Since word around the way,
Is I'm the brother you don't speak to,
I've kept my silence long enough,
I need you,
Times are tough, where's the love,
We're just ordinary people
(repeats)
Verse 2:
Taymak really did it to me this time,
Laced me with a beat that was ideal for this rhyme,
I'd kill for missed time with long lost family,
Those resting in peace, and those I can't see,
Due to space in between us...
It's a shame, you live right around the corner why can't we just,
Have lunch or something? I think it's worth discussing,
You think I'm the worst person on Earth and that's disgusting,
I'm sick, literally my stomach hurts,
Every time I think about it so I had to write a verse,
So that maybe I could conquer the pain,
But who am I kidding man,
My own brother thinks I'm insane,
And maybe I am, but for you I can change,
Gave myself an intervention and I'm ready for anything,
If you want, I'll even see a shrink,
Though I admit I'm appalled by the things that you think
Hook:
I figured this the only way,
That I could really reach you,
Since word around the way,
Is I'm the brother you don't speak to,
I've kept my silence long enough,
I need you,
Times are tough, where's the love,
We're just ordinary people
(repeats)
Verse 3:
All I wanna do is see my god son Deven,
That is my nephew, he is not your possession,
All I wanna do is see my niece Catalina,
Have you seen her, she's a beautiful baby, I'd love to meet her,
All I wanna do is reunite with my closest kin,
Why we gotta fight, this ain't right, we were the closest friends,
As kids, now look what we put our mother through,
I'm tired of the blame game, just know that I'm in love with you,
And everything you do, I wanna be like you,
You're so normal, but I could never see it through,
I was meant for this...
I might be the black sheep of the family,
But I'm the white horse with this music shit,
Of course, my destiny is with this music biz,
That's what I do but without you its meaningless,
Let's be real, you're a part of who I am,
And I'll carry that with me all the way to my last stand
Hook:
I figured this the only way,
That I could really reach you,
Since word around the way,
Is I'm the brother you don't speak to,
I've kept my silence long enough,
I need you,
Times are tough, where's the love,
We're just ordinary people
(repeats)
Outro (Kiera Nova):
I need you, It's kinda hard right now,
Brother can you hear me? I'm crying out,
And I know these days will get better,
But I need you, where is the love? Where is the love?
