BROTHER MAN
Written by Kato Hammond & Chucky Hammond

Brother Man, understand
It's not the way I wanna be
It's the way that I am
It's the soul inside that give's me pride
Won't let me hide. Makes me stay on stride
Keeps me rolling
Keeps me up on the flow and
Always lets me be the kind of winner that wins
I'm calling you now
Stand up take a bow
Ask no questions. Just let me tell you how
No chitter. No chatter. We know Black Lives Matter
Pushing for the goal of happily ever after
I'm living and learning and scratching and paying my dues
I've got nothing to lose, Brother Man

Now if you have a minute won't you check out these lyrics
Never mind your rep © I think that everyone should hear about©
A young child found doing bad in school
Became a popular name for breaking all the rules
Labeled as disturbed & tried to tame him back
Done everything they could to set him on track
But what they didn't see is that the brother had quest
And that's what made him different from the rest
Now many years later the brother's done an epic
Those who used to talk have no choice but to accept it
So let me add one thing and please don't forget
Life has no limits

Now you're in a situation that's tight as can be
And you're saying to yourself why it have to be me
Out of all of the people in the neighborhood
I'm the only one getting caught with the goods
The judge gives me time © I'm doing 3 to 5
It's just a damn shame © these tears from my eyes
Listening to the verdict straight brought out the tears
Invited pain to my heart & sent death to my ears

I'm on the outside. I'm back on the scene
It's hard to say no, but no is what I mean
I make some honest cash © I do a little math
Now I think what's missing is the chaos of the past
A little bit of luck with a little bit of faith
These two together, you never felt the race
So, let me add one thing and please don't forget
Life has no limits

So if I'm getting through, then I'm doing my job
Because schooling you brothers shouldn't be so hard
You listen and learn. You learn and live
Take it from me, you're gonna get what you give
You play the game right. Take no short cuts
Keep your eyes on the ball no if, and or buts
Believe in yourself and you will always show
The people around the right way to go
So, let me add on thing and please don't forget
Life has no limits
