Brother
Jesse and the Dandelions Lyrics

Yeah
Expressing agreement or affirmation

Same country
Belonging to the same nation

Same city
Residing in the same urban area

Same home
Sharing a common household

Same blood
Sharing familial heritage

Same flesh
Sharing physical bodies

Same bone at the break of the day
Connected at a deep and intrinsic level

He got taken away
Being separated from one another

Gave him a new name
Assigned a different identity

He can't remember where its he came
Unable to recall his origins

It ain't his fault
Not his responsibility or wrongdoing

Kinda fall back
Somewhat stepping back or retreating

But it doesn't matter what work
Irrelevant what he does for a living

For each tyre leaves a car track
Leaving traces or imprints of his presence

It doesnt matter how far he goes
Regardless of the distance he travels

Each time he looks in the mirror
When he examines himself

He could see his my bro
Recognizing the brotherly bond

I heard his not far than the family years
Learning that he remains connected to the family

And his kids turn over they related to my kids
Discovering that his children are part of my family

I read about him from time to time
Keeping up with his life through occasional reading

And since his family get happy everytime he shines
Observing that his success brings joy to his family

I just hope that inspire of our presence differences
Wishing for unity despite our apparent disparities

We could be united
Coming together as one

And l could put the past behind me
Letting go of previous grievances

I pray love finds him
Hoping that he experiences love

And finds me
And that love finds me as well

To me I've been there eta ta ta neuer
Referring to personal experiences

Kojo my life before ata to me
Recalling a previous life

Same country
Belonging to the same nation

Same city
Residing in the same urban area

Same home
Sharing a common household

Same blood
Sharing familial heritage

Same flesh
Sharing physical bodies

Same bone yeah uhh
Connected at a deep and intrinsic level

My other brother at home yeah
Referring to another brother in the same household

We keep acting like it ain't together we grown
Behaving as if we are not united despite being adults

We keep fighting over and celebrating of the people while we still celebrating so now
Quarreling over insignificant matters instead of cherishing moments together

Even our kids is fighting each other wow
Even our children are engaged in conflicts with each other

They should be reading about each other and
They should be learning about one another and

The war we fight is making us poor
The conflicts we engage in are impoverishing us

Our body and soul are aching us all and
Both physically and emotionally, we are suffering

Look at the mess we created
Examining the chaos we have caused

Trying to be civilized while we were born naked yeah
Attempting to appear cultured even though we are all born vulnerable and exposed

We destroying what we building
We are destroying what we have worked to construct

Acting like we ain't our father children
Behaving as if we are not the offspring of our parents

I just hope we could put the past behind us
Wishing for the ability to leave the past behind

I pray love binds us
Hoping that love unites us

And finds us
And love finds us as well

Same country
Belonging to the same nation

Same city
Residing in the same urban area

Same home
Sharing a common household

Same blood
Sharing familial heritage

Same flesh
Sharing physical bodies

Same bone we was born from the same Uterus
Connected through our shared biological origins

So pain is something that not new to us
Pain is a familiar experience for us

And we keep hurting each other
Continuing to inflict harm upon one another

We can't even see the worth of each other
Failing to recognize the value in one another

And we don't even talk about it
Avoiding discussions about these issues

But I'm gonna do my part with the microphone I'll shout it
Taking responsibility to address these concerns through music

We destroying our family name
Causing harm to our shared reputation

So selfish
Acting in a self-centered manner

We didn't even know what calamity came
Being unaware of the disaster that has transpired

We don't listen
Failing to actively listen to one another

And yet we break the point
Despite this, we continue to damage our relationship

We as this msic is universal
As the power of music is all-encompassing

I'm talking to join so
I'm addressing everyone to come together

My black people around saying
Directing the message to fellow black individuals

Open up your eyes
Become aware of the reality

See all the rounds and get in and
Recognize the struggles and join in

We could put the past behind us
We have the ability to leave the past in the past

I pray love finds us
Hoping that love discovers us

And binds us
And love unites us

To me I've been there eta ta ta neuer
Drawing from personal experiences

Kojo my life before ata to me
Recalling a previous life

To me I've been there eta ta ta neuer
Drawing from personal experiences

Kojo my life before ata to me
Recalling a previous life

To me I've been there eta ta ta neuer
Drawing from personal experiences

Kojo my life before ata to me
Recalling a previous life

To me I've been there eta ta ta neuer
Drawing from personal experiences

Kojo my life before ata to me
Recalling a previous life

Yeah we been persecuted depress
Acknowledging the historical oppression and suffering

But we are not crush
Despite this, we are not defeated

We still stand yeah
We continue to persevere
