My Brother’s Keeper
VERSE
Please don’t change your mind
You’re one of my greatest treasures
Where your treasure is, that’s where your heart will be
I am a vessel full of power
A treasure from the Lord, somewhere along the way I forgot
(8 bars)
RAP
Chose to be with a girl who didn’t see my value just utility
Ability to be used like utensils so bittersweet
You warned me about it, while having war with your job
I regret to this day I didn’t support your heart
You lashed out and told me I was selfish
Made your birthday plans so complicated
Full of drama, resulted in isolating myself from my brother
You knew I loved her
(8 bars)
But if you only knew the things she said
Like “You are two complete opposites, no way y’all should be friends”
She could never be more wrong!
My Jonathan if I’m King David
When I settle on my throne, we’ll say “NINJA WE MADE IT!”
Got the same handshake, from 2016 to forever
From to Odawara Castle to Kamakura Hase Dera
Every chat and new adventure with you made me better
(4 bars)
CHORUS
Who do men say that I am?
When God asks where is he
Am I my brother’s keeper?
I’ll say “Yes I am! YES I AM!”
RAP
Clubbin’ in Shibuya, Bar hoppin’ in Ikebukuro
Get our NERD on shopping retro at SUPER POTATO
From Kawagoe to Koshigaya
You drove out to to check out my 3DK crib, but you I admire
Yeah we had a falling out when I was dating COVID
Taste of her lips hit different when my eyes opened
I prayed for things unspoken
but you can never fix what’s broken
Fast forward 2022 in Yokosuka,
Constant contact with my bros like I’m supposed to
Heard about your counseling and struggle with depression
I’m guessing, International marriage also teaches hard lessons
My brother told you “Stop fighting on your own, give it up to God. He wants you because he made you come back home.”
That’s paraphrasing but those pair of phrases changed your life
It’s a miracle to see the blessings falling on you and your wife
You say I got all the talent
But I say you got all the skills
And you got all the humor and charm, look in the mirror
They say don’t judge a book by its cover
But with this one we’re as happy as we appear, for real
CHORUS
