Brotherhood
The Knowledge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never had a worry
Always had a place to sleep
With a small tight crew
And the party never ends
We always felt safe
'Cause we were in the company of friends
That's brotherhood
And you're my brother
(Woah, oh, oh)
You'll always be my brother
No matter what you do
Hey!
Now we're getting older
And many things have changed
Some of us have moved away
The memories never strained
With a small tight crew
That'll be there til the end
We'll always stick together
And we'll always be good friends
That's brotherhood
(Woah, oh, oh)
And you're my brother
(Woah, oh, oh)
You'll always be my brother
No matter what you do
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
That's brotherhood
And you're my brother
You'll always be my brother
No matter what you do
The Knowledge's song "Brotherhood" is a tribute to the sense of camaraderie and loyalty that can develop among a group of friends, particularly in difficult or uncertain circumstances. The lyrics describe a group of young people who have been forced to survive on the streets, but who have found a sense of security and belonging in their tight-knit crew. The first verse paints a picture of carefree youth: despite lacking a permanent home or steady income, the members of the group had each other, and that was enough to feel safe and happy. The chorus seems to emphasize the bond between the singer and his (male) friend or friends, as he declares that they are "brothers" who will always remain close no matter what happens.
As the song goes on, the singer acknowledges that time has passed and the group has changed. Some members have left, and everyone has grown up and faced new challenges. However, the feeling of brotherhood remains strong, and the tight crew that was once so important to their survival has become a source of nostalgia and fond memories. The final chorus repeats the earlier declarations of brotherhood and loyalty, underscoring the idea that the bond between the friends remains unbreakable.

I like it
But the copper serpent on a staff which Moses acquired belonged to Yahweh
Jesus Christ criticizes him for having given the people serpents when they asked for food.
For Jesus Yahweh is the devil.
But Yahweh created another "the devil" that he could hide behind.
Yahweh is Enlil, brother of Enki.
Enki=Lucifer=Christ
Christ worshiped his Father, Anu, supreme god of the Anunnaki.
Not Enlil.
Know also that "God" punished the Serpent of Eden by removing its legs so that it had to go on its belly. That Serpent was not Enki, but a very strange kind of spirit serpent with arms and legs. This is the serpent of Revelation 20, who is Satan or the Devil.
Lucifer (Enki) is not the devil (the Serpent).
Yahweh is.the real devil.
I should know 🔥
