LYRICS:
(Intro)
My Brother taught me...
(Verse One)
My brother taught me, be an eagle in the sky, see things from afar
Don’t get too close before you find out where you are
Like a curious rodent getting caught by a viper snake
Don’t wanna rub shoulders with anyone, there’s all type of snakes
My brother taught me to enhance the lives of others
You don’t wanna be the type of person people run for cover from
If you can’t bring something beneficial
Then there is absolutely no point in handing out your issues
My brother taught me, never get in a fight
Unless it’s push come to shove and you defending your life
'Cos it’s too easy to die in a world that’s so violent
So I step like these people don’t see me, I’m ultraviolet
My brother taught me I should learn from observation
It’s either that or learning the hard way in situations
You never need to do everything to know the outcome
So even though I rhyme I use my eyes more than my mouth runs
(Chorus)
These are the things my brother taught me, helped to support me
'Cos they informed me, sent his wisdom towards me
And I'm a little older now and living lower down
Carrying the world on my shoulders now
(Verse Two)
My brother taught me, to honor those who came before me
Even if someone upset me and I feel defamatory
'Cos there’s something bout’ a person with age to be respected
And the elders sacrificed so much so we can be protected, yo’
My brother taught me to never go backwards
Forgiving and forgetting ain’t the same, his exact words
You can forgive a wrong if there’s remorse and there’s admission
But you never ever put yourself back in the same position
My brother taught me when you are decision making
Track record is an invaluable indication
When you wanna know the future, you can look towards the past
Especially when all you have is this to make a forecast
My brother taught me a lot, so I am grateful
And try to return the favor at times when he’s unstable
I love him in a way that’s far removed from Cain and Abel
From the cradle to the grave, from the grave to the cradle
(Chorus)
