lyrics

Can't look in the eyes of my brother
Without shedding a tear for my brother
I really wanna try for my brother
Cause I truly do feel for my brother
Since they lie to my brother
I'll teach the truth to my brother
And I'll do for my brother
To call it truce with my brother

Truce
Peace
Love
Brotherly
Trust
Coexist
We can live in harmony

See, If he can't get love
He'll find a supplement
Express hurt outwardly
Or self-inflict, cowardly
Everyone wants to belong
Everyone deserves another
I can't depend on others
To take care of my own brother
I was asked

If I'm willing to die for my brother
But I'd rather live for my brother
And stand to with my brother
They plan to kill my own brother
This message is to heal my brother
Because they have scarred my brother
Dropped the last name of my brother
Shot, edited, and framed my brother
Then accuse my brother
And blatantly refuse my brother
Put a price on his hue of color
I can't afford to lose my own brother

La, la, la...la, la

Peace King!
If you aint heard that, the word black is beautiful to me
We think
That we are less but we still blessed regardless, of all this stress
All this stress, is all our test
A masterpiece and God is our art-est
Raphael De La Ghetto, black like the kettle
Kids carry metal and they telling heaven hello
But we look to the sky for new day, for a new day
I need a GPS to find a new way, find a new way
I need the real thing not the bootleg, not the bootleg
All I see is food and liquor word to Lupe, what do you say?
You see I'm tryna find the king inside
Can wear a chain on your chest but the bling inside
And we gone ride until we alright
What can you provide, keep the youth alive?
Cops shoot shots but they don’t do the time
So you decide, you can choose a side
Either you can die or you could fly
See, we all from the mother land
Only right I that I see you as my brother man…you understand?

Ndugu wa damu

There's a light that shines in my brother
Hides deep inside of my brother
I wanna pull back the cover
So the world can discover
The real brother

I see you as my brother
Even if we came from different mothers
Regardless of skin color, it doesn't matter
See I gotta wanna protect you like you're my own
And we have to
No matter whatever they say

Yo! They can try to take, but they can't erase
It's in your blood!
Nah! Can't wash away our history
It's in your blood!
They can try to take but the can't erase
It's in your blood!
Naw! Our history won't fade away
It's in your blood!
