Nomi ruiz - Brotherhood lyrics

We were from Sunset Park the rebels no one rollin' with us Taught me the right way to cheat and how to roll a dutch Hid my man from mom up in the barber shop Hooked me up with your main man you met in Rikers Isle Took the blame when mom found the dro up in my Frankie B's By the name of Tattoo Al my bigger brother see You paint the picture of the man I love cause since Daddy went and disowned me you're #1 above He never will know the pain I saw All your blood on our brand new sheets a gang f**ing war How many times did mom just up and throw you out f**ed me up I never knew when you would be coming around Hope you understand mom was always in the right Came to us to heal your wounds hoody up then out to fight Remember summertime riding in your Maxima Driving by the Verrazano parking just to spark it up Late night conversation in the park telling me Not to f** with blow or n***as from the block Tell me how I could conceive that your were never there Another man who comes and goes as if he never cared And now I put it all in the past And I watch as you and I fall down the hour gla** Time pa**es and now I see How your love wasn't clear to me I was watching with the wrong eyes in spite Of what we've been through I'm gonna love you more each day And though you feel away I feel your brotherhood Feel it And now I see your love wasn't clear to me I was watching with the wrong eyes in spite Of what we've been through I'm gonna love you more each day And though you feel away I feel your brotherhood Feel your brotherhood
