My Brother and I Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look in my eyes girl you don't gotta lie to me
A little to late for apologies
She see that I'm up and she calling me
And I don't even answer the phone
Im on my own wave like the oddesy
All this money keep on calling me
I'm on my shit don't bother me
And she can't seem to leave me alone
Born in the city of snow
Young nigga hot but my heart is on froze
But she throw it back I put her in doze
Calling my phone and you trip for no reason
We ain't no kids man that shits getting old
You on them games I'm like bitch ain't you grown
You wanna play you could leave me alone
Call me whenever you know what you want
Still you can call me whenever you need me
She ain't the type to be all in the club but
She gon pop out wit her friend just to see me
I told you one day that I would make millions
You looked my eyes didnt believe me
Which will hurt more is it staying or leaving
Which will hurt more is it staying or leaving
I told shorty I love her but she don't believe me cause I ain't the type that's gonna settle
Collect these bitches they just like some medals
Step on the gas I ain't get off the pedal
You use to lie to me don't try to cry to me like I would never just make you feel special
Now all that shit that you said was forever
You and your friends just discuss to feel bett
Look in my eyes girl you don't gotta lie to me
A little to late for apologies
She see that I'm up and she calling me
And I don't even answer the phone
Im on a wave like the oddesy
All this money keep on calling me
I'm on my shit don't bother me
And she can't seem to leave me alone
I ain't gonna look in your eyes and just lie to you bay
Even tho I just lied to you why
It's never to late for apologies baby it's never to late
But I'm burning inside from alll the shit that I've been through in life
But two wrongs just don't make it right
I did so much wrong you left
But I live life with no regret
And I know I don't live right but I swear I always do my best
And you said that you was down for me and I put it to the test yea I put it to the test
And I found out that you was just like rest
I'm going through stages I feel like a king that's lost his crown and
There's so much wieght on my shoulder I don't mean to weigh you down
But this hole that I'm in I'm just tryna find my way
But you only live once and I'd advise you make it count
There's nothing like time being wasted I'm to deep to turn back now
I wish I could be in two places so I could always be around
You had the key to my heart and you put it somewhere safe
And I apologize for hurting you so many times when I promised you'd be safe
Look in my eyes girl you don't gotta lie to me
A little to late for apologies
She see that I'm up and she calling me
And I don't even answer the phone
Im on a wave like the Odyssey
All this money keep on calling me




I'm on my shit don't bother me
And she can't seem to leave me alone

Overall Meaning

The song "Apology" by My Brother and I is a poignant expression of regret and pain in the aftermath of a failed relationship. The lyrics depict a man who appears to be successful and focused on himself, with money and ambition driving him forward. However, his ego and selfishness have become obstacles in his romantic relationships, leading to betrayal and heartbreak for the woman he claims to love. He acknowledges his mistakes, apologizing for hurting her, but also acknowledging that it may be too late to repair the damage.


The first verse highlights the singer's self-assuredness and confidence in his own path, despite the woman's attempts to reconcile. He sees himself as a pioneer, forging ahead on his own "wave," while money and success call out to him. He recognizes that the woman can't seem to let go and "leave him alone," yet he still resists her efforts to win him back. Even though he promised her a future of wealth and fame, she didn't believe him, which leaves him questioning the relationship in the chorus. In the second verse, he admits his faults, remarking on his tendency to collect women like "medals" and how his lies have hurt her. Despite his wish for her to stay, he knows he has to let her go and deal with his own emotional turmoil.


In essence, "Apology" is a bittersweet portrayal of the human psyche, showing how our ambitions can often lead us to hurt those we care about most. The song is a reminder that we should be aware of our own limitations and take responsibility for our actions, even if it means acknowledging our mistakes and making amends.

I cant believe it's been 7 years, I remember that day, August 22, 2017, that video came out and everyone was in shock. I still remember that apology. I've been a fan since 2015, starting with the skylander boy and girl videos. I still can't believe you guys went back to the original spot where it was filmed, that made me smile
