Brother
Smashproof/Gin Wigmore Lyrics

Got some questions in my mind.
I have a lot of things I need answers to.

I got my elbow on the window-sill, Hand on my face looking out to the world.
I'm lost in thought, trying to figure out the world.

A lot of questions lay awake in my brain And I'm still trying to suss out what ima say.
My mind is filled with unanswered questions and I'm trying to find the words to express them.

And if I do speak on something's if it's you Stone cup all that hates so here goes.
If I speak up about something, people will hate on me, but I'm going to say it anyway.

Why is it that when some guy makes it outta a hood life They're like; No we can't let ya.
Why do people try to hold others back when they manage to escape a life of poverty and violence?

And allow five-oh to rape girls and compensate them Like David Bikem is so wrong and expect us working people To fund your wages for you to uphold the law, which is what exactly? That I really need to know.
Why is it okay for some police officers to commit sexual assault and then be rewarded, while taxpayers are forced to fund their salaries and duties that they don't always uphold?

'Til then I'll stare outta my window. Hehe probably wont get an answer for that one.
Until I get answers, I'll keep wondering and looking out my window, even though I doubt anyone will provide the answers I seek.

I got some questions in my mind that definitely need Some answers right now 'cause I gotta know.
I have urgent questions that require immediate answers.

Got all the pieces to the puzzle but can't seem To make it fit so I'm lost, tell me where to go.
Even though I have all the necessary information, I still can't make sense of it all and feel lost.

But you turned your back and you went away. It's making me crazy I feel so alone. Why did you turn your back. Why did you go away? Cause you were my brother, and you should of stayed.
I'm hurt and angry that you betrayed me and abandoned me when I needed you, especially since you were my brother and I trusted you to stay by my side.

Listen I lay awake at night looking up At the ceiling tryna clear my mind.
I can't sleep because my mind is racing with thoughts and worries.

Seen a dude in the dairy get stabbed for change. Passed away. His parents wont pass the pain, And feel like you just came let the rain in. Feels like you just let it happen man Take away a kids life away just because he tagged, damn.
I witnessed a senseless act of violence where a boy was tragically killed for no reason, and it feels like those around him let it happen instead of trying to prevent it.

Why you let us get ahead, if you let us pull us Back right before we see the end. Please tell me understand Why you took away my friend, son to brother, Lost my brother, I gotta know.
Why do we experience success and progress, only to have it taken away before we can fully enjoy it? And why did you take my friend and brother away from me, leaving me with unanswered questions?

Listen I gotta few things on my mind Can't really explain to you but I gotta try.
I'm struggling to put my thoughts and feelings into words, but I'll try my best to express myself.

First I wanna know other things why you letting your little brother Slang rocks out side who drops and do what ever.
Why are you allowing your younger sibling to participate in drug dealing and criminal activity?

Do you really think's making it better 'cause what I see is a cold world living, your little sister known as a hood rat, But you can overlook that, proves to us all you wanna do is fit in.
Do you honestly believe that engaging in illegal activity will improve our lives? Look at our harsh reality - even your little sister is viewed negatively in our community because of her reputation, yet you choose to ignore it and try to fit in with a certain crowd.

Why you lettin' your daddy abuse your children When they go school bruised they're making excuses.
Why are you allowing your father to hurt your own children, and then make excuses for the abuse when they show up to school with bruises and injuries?

Why is the majority of friends that You have all gang affiliated, hurting the innocent.
Why do most of your friends belong to gangs and engage in activities that harm innocent people?

But you turned your back and you went away. It's making me crazy I feel so alone. Why did you turn your back? Why did you go away? 'Cause you were my brother and you should of stayed.
I'm still reeling from your decision to leave and abandon me, and it's driving me insane with feelings of loneliness and betrayal. You were my brother and I expected you to stay by my side.
