Brothers Keeper
Brother's Keeper: Navigating Life's Struggles and Aspirations
Lyrics
Still not signed, run it on our own.
Expressing independence and self-reliance, not relying on a record label.
Still got time, but I’ve got to grow.
Acknowledging the need for personal growth and development over time.
You know when, somethings in your life just not how they seem but I’ve got to cope.
Dealing with aspects of life that are not as they seem, coping with challenges.
How I deal? Not involved
Remaining uninvolved in certain situations.
How I feel? Hot and cold
Experiencing fluctuating emotions, hot and cold feelings.
I think like that, probably smoke won’t drink like that.
Choosing a thoughtful mindset, possibly avoiding excessive drinking.
It’s weird that things gone mad, just my thoughts in my head, not facts.
Reflecting on thoughts in the head, distinguishing them from facts.
I know about the figures and stats.
Awareness of figures and statistics, possibly related to the music industry.
I get why the olders didn’t like my raps.
Understanding why older individuals may not appreciate the artist's rap.
If I was there age, and someone came along that was better than me, plus younger than me, things can’t run without me.
Empathizing with older individuals and recognizing the importance of experience.
I’ve got no whip, but I’d love an audi.
Expressing a desire for material success, like owning an Audi.
One day one day
Hopeful anticipation for the future.
I don’t know about me.
Uncertainty about self.
Not things I don’t show about me, I don’t know but I think it helps me.
Keeping certain aspects of oneself private, possibly for personal growth.
Young one but my brothers keeper,
Commitment to taking care of siblings or close ones.
Even on the first day of school, there are no rules round here I’m the bloody teacher. Yeah I’ve been low but nothing deeper.
Assuming a leadership role, even in unconventional situations.
John one day I would love to see you.
Expressing a desire to reunite with someone named John.
But I can’t, I can feel it in my heart, I can feel it and it’s hard.
Feeling emotional difficulty and heartache about the separation.
Close your eyes and look too the stars, keep them closed even if it’s dark.
Suggesting a form of meditation or reflection, finding solace in the stars.
Let’s go back to the start.
Desiring to return to a past, perhaps simpler, time.
Sitting back cos I need too, thinking bout the things that I been through, and all the dreams that I seen too. I don’t find it hard to believe too, you find it hard to believe me it’s hard cos I need you.
Reflecting on personal experiences and the need for support from others.
And all the things that I shut off, thinking about the things that I cut off.
Contemplating things that have been shut out or ignored.
Been down real low real butters, hot like 18 summers, when I write full stops and commas.
Recalling challenging times, comparing them to hot summers.
If it’s all on top would I run off?
Questioning one's reaction to challenging situations, whether to face or avoid them.
Rather have you on top, top off.
Expressing a preference for having someone important in a higher position.
Should’ve told my teachers fuck off.
Reflecting on past defiance, possibly against authority figures.
Don’t eat fruit when it’s gone off.
Using a metaphor about avoiding negativity or bad experiences.
If this don’t get views it’s a one off.
Expressing a desire for the work to be recognized or appreciated.
I guess things change, I’m the same but less in shape.
Noting changes in oneself while maintaining core identity.
On the ground my heads in space.
Feeling grounded but with a wandering mind.
Wonder how my bets will change if I cash out.
Considering the impact of financial decisions on one's life.
If I did have money I would splash out, can’t live life from the background.
Expressing a desire to enjoy life actively, not from a passive position.
Need to move forwards and that’s how.
Recognizing the importance of moving forward in life.
Just need to love forward.
Emphasizing the need for love and positivity in moving forward.
