|
A small boy walked down a city street |
|
And hope was in his eyes |
|
As he searched the faces of the people he'd meet |
|
Or one he could recognize |
|
Brother, where are you? |
|
They told me that you came this way |
|
Brother, where are you? |
|
They said you came this way |
|
Brother, where are you? |
|
Brother, where are you? |
|
The eyes of the people who passed him by |
|
Were cold and hard as stone |
|
The small boy whimpered and began to cry |
|
Because he was all alone |
|
Brother, where are you? |
|
They told me that you came this way |
|
Brother, where are you? |
|
They said you came this way |
|
Where are you? |
|
Brother, where are you? |
|
Don't you know I need you now |
|
(Boots Rap) |
|
I'm calling out from the top |
|
Of a ten foot pile of knots |
|
They call us cool |
|
If you smile or not |
|
And if you dial the cops |
|
I'm gonna try to shot |
|
See it's a violence plot |
|
Tell the judge |
|
'I give a f what kind of file I got' |
|
I'm trying to calculate my damages |
|
From a lifetime of manmade savages |
|
Bad food canisters |
|
Fast food managers |
|
And school principals |
|
Who really prison wooden chips |
|
Dough to the mo' |
|
Flush my load in the commo' |
|
But it never was |
|
Never is |
|
You believe in lined lie images |
|
Of front line scrimmages |
|
Support the crime bills of the president |
|
Now it's a sacrileges |
|
Attack the kids |
|
And get the older generation |
|
Just to back the pigs |
|
So when I whisper as I leave the line of where I was |
|
Brother, can you join the brawl? |
|
Where are you? |
|
Now there are many |
|
Who will swear it's true |
|
That brother all we are |
|
And yet it seems there are very few |
|
Who will answer a brother's call |
|
Oh brother, where are you? |
|
They told me that you came this way |
|
Brother, where are you? |
|
They said you came this way |
|
Where are you? |
|
Where are you? |
|
Brother, where are you? |
|
Oh brother |
|
Brother, where are you? |
|
Where are you? |
|
Brother, where are you? |
|
Brother, where are you? |
|
Where are you? |
