Brothers
R. Kelly Lyrics

When we were kids we share bread
As children, we shared our basic necessities, like food.

We share our toys and we were friends
We also shared our toys and formed a strong bond of friendship.

Then mother left us all behind
Unfortunately, our mother left us alone and without care.

But we survived and had big dreams
Despite this hardship, we persevered and dreamed big for our future.

Then later on we shared guitars
As we grew older, we shared our passion for music and learned to play the guitar together.

We rocked the stage and wrote good songs
Our talent and hard work paid off as we performed on stage and wrote successful songs.

First, we were poor, then we were rich
Starting from humble beginnings, we eventually achieved financial success.

I cried and laughed through all that time
Throughout the ups and downs of our journey, I experienced a range of emotions.

Brothers and sisters
Referring to our tight bond as siblings and friends.

We had our fights, we had our laughs
Despite our close relationship, we still had our fair share of arguments and moments of joy.

We had our tears rolling down our cheeks
We also shared moments of sadness and cried together.

Then you went your way and I went mine
As we grew older, we went our separate ways in life and pursued different paths.

And the years, they're passing by
Time continues to move forward and our bond has been tested with the passing years.

Love came our way, marriages in the air
As we grew older, we fell in love, got married and started families of our own.

And children were born
We experienced the joys of parenthood and welcomed our own children into the world.

Together are strong
Reinforcing the strength and importance of our bond as brothers and sisters.

Oh brothers and sisters hold on
Urging us to continue to hold on to our bond even through tough times.

And here we stand on this stage
Reflecting on how far we've come since our childhood and musical beginnings.

Years have passed by and we're still strong
Despite the passage of time, our bond remains unbroken and strong.

We still sing, we still smile
We continue to make music together and enjoy life's simple pleasures.

And today we're here as one
Regardless of our separate paths, we come together today as one unified group.

And you're still here, our dear audience
Thanking and acknowledging the unwavering support and love of our fans over the years.

You were true to us all these years
Reflecting on the genuine and loyal support of our fans throughout our career.

Through ups and downs you supported us
Our fans were there for us even during times of hardship and struggle.

Your love carried us through, through hard times
Recognizing the love and support of our fans as a source of strength during tough times.

We can make it once more
Reinforcing the power of our bond and ability to overcome challenges once again.
