Brother's Keeper
Anderson .Paak feat. Pusha T Lyrics

Nothing's safe when your numbers change
When your social and financial status changes, there is nothing that can be considered secure.

Keep it low or pay the fee
To remain secure, keep your information and actions private as exposing them can come with consequences.

Niggas talking but it's not too often that they living what they speak
People often speak without living by the same principles they preach.

Good pussy kept me entertained
Sexual pleasure provided temporary entertainment in life.

Money came then it went away
Financial success is often temporary and fleeting.

Lord see over everything (Over everything)
Expressing faith in a higher power's providence and sovereignty.

Am I my brother's keeper (Am I my brother's keeper)
Asking whether one is responsible for the well-being of their fellow humans.

You know everybody gotta eat, bruh
Everyone has basic needs that must be met, including sustenance.

I wanna live on ahead, if not a cloud in the air
Desiring a future where there are no lingering problems or uncertainties.

The right side of the chair
To sit on the right side of a powerful or influential individual, indicating a position of favor and influence.

If Jesus would've had a better lawyer would he have to see the cross
Reflecting on whether the outcome of certain situations could have been different with different representation or resources.

I hope your niggas is true, I hope they don't do you like Judas
Expressing a wish for friends to be loyal and not betray like the biblical character Judas.

I pray to God
A sincere call for divine intervention or guidance.

Pain wearing off, sleeping while I talk
Recovering from physical, mental or emotional pain, experiencing lethargy or disinterest.

Laid in the arms, woke up at the top
After experiencing moments of depression or discomfort, finding oneself in a position of success or achievement.

9 A.M. LA time My brother just turned a half a million dollars For being one half of one of the greatest duos in hip-hop history (Am I my brother's keeper) I couldn't love him more (You know everybody gotta eat, bruh) Everybody eats, B King Push
Celebrating a family member's financial success and emphasizing the importance of providing for oneself and loved ones.

Am I my brother's keeper, they still asking 'bout the duo Applaud his finding salvation But I'm still rhyming 'bout the you know It's hard to leave your foundation, this spaceship took me to Pluto Still an underground king, but the money's Jason Derulo
Reflecting on the burden of expectations to deliver in one's craft and to maintain loyalty to roots and former collaborators, while also acknowledging and benefiting from financial success.

Sumo in the safe, Kujo on the grill Diamonds in the face, racing leather wheel To all my other field niggas, you knowin' how I feel, niggas? (Woo) Destroy and rebuild niggas That's the only way to build nigga, yugh Definition of a real nigga And their talk, it ain't to kill niggas, no
Boasting of material success, alongside reminders of one's humble origins and relating to others who have experienced the struggle for success. Advising that achieving success through diligence and resilience, rather than greed and destructive behavior, is the genuine display of strength and credibility.

Am I my brother's keeper, I'm dialing in a bit deeper Arms reach of the reaper, they say it's cheaper to keep her Life's a bitch
Reflecting on one's responsibility to care for others. Contemplating the proximity of mortality, and acknowledging that sometimes it is easier to maintain the status quo rather than confront challenging problems.

(How I ever, ever let you go) (How I ever, ever let you go) (How I ever, ever let you go) (How I ever, ever let you go)
Mournful repetition of missed opportunities that continue to haunt one's decisions and behavior.

I'm running through changes, is it strange To be baited, shit I'm grown But still a fade Shootin' off with no marks If I hit, there's no mistakes, yeah Huh, baby I'm running through changes, daily Every day, oh, oh now I'm running through changes Through change Every day Will it stay I'm running through changes Will it change
Reflecting on personal growth and adaptation in response to changing circumstances. Contemplating how much control one has over their own future and the possibilities available.
