[Chorus: Avelino]
See my brothers in the hood held onto brotherhood
Sharin' what we had even though they're stolen goods
I just couldn't stand bein' so misunderstood
They'll judge you by the cover and then they'll throw the book
Sat here thinkin' about situations I was in
Still can't believe all the places that I've been
Just to take it in, gotta take another trip
Luggage full of baggage, that's pain I'm carryin'
But my brothers in the hood held onto brotherhood
Sharing what we had even though they're stolen goods
I just couldn't stand bеing so misunderstood, yeah
We was so misundеrstood

[Verse: Avelino]
So my brothers in the hood held onto brotherhood
We was down bad but, no, it weren't for good
Starin' at the future, I had to take a look
I need my lucky break, tired of breakin' down buj
Brown liquor all in my red cup when I'm lean
At the Crown Plaza, I wake up like a king
Just to take it in, got to take another trip
Flying everywhere but my bros still on the wing
So deep in the cut, I had no time for a trim
Hit a standstill, I moved onto better things
Couldn't make it work, tell me why we're arguin'
Had a forest fire, weren't trying to burn your bridge
Now the smoked settled, I'm finally kinda rich
Still show love 'cause it doesn't cost a thing
Whole load of anger inside me as a kid
Now when I'm seein' red it's the carpet at the BRITs
Never left the country and now we're travelin'
Open up them borders, let all my bruddas in
Runnin' out of breath, but I caught a second wind
We took hella L's but it taught us how to win
[Chorus: Avelino]
See my brothers in the hood held onto brotherhood
Sharing what we had even though they're stolen goods
I just couldn't stand being so misunderstood
They'll judge you by the cover and then they'll throw the book
Started thinking about situations I was in
Still can't believe all the places that I've been
Just to take it in, gotta take another trip
Luggage full of baggage, this pain I'm carrying

[Bridge: Tiggs Da Author]
It just me and my bros
Playing with keys, the doors are closed
Can't see where I'm going
Godspeed, man can't slow down
Be patient, my brother, be patient
Be patient, my brother, be patient
I got trauma, PTSD from the corner
Skipped school and was outside playin' with the wolves
And that shit taught us
Brotherhood
If you got me, my n***a, then I got you
Brotherhood
If you got me, my n***a, then I got you

[Outro]
I-I-I've paid the price for the crimes I've committed
I've been penalised through penitentiary and incarceration
All these things have happened 'cause of the life that I've lived
That was my consequence of my actions
Of the trial and tribulation of my life has been lived and accepted
