Kanye West
Brothers (Freestyle)
[Verse 1]
What's it take to call your brother?
Just to say you miss him and you wish you could spend time
What's so serious that you can't just pick up the phone?
Let him know you love him and that he's been on your mind
Tell him that you need your brother
Ask him how he's doing and say you been doing fine
If it comes a point where you just don't know what to say
While you still have him on the line, just say...

[Chorus]
We'll be, brothers forever
What happens to one of us, happens to us together
And we'll be, brothers forever
We'll be, brothers forever
We'll be, brothers forever
So you know, you know, you know, you know

What’s the almonds without the joy?
And we still gon' ride, yeah

Hop on over, ‘till it’s deep
Think it up on Dover Street
Hop a dump on overseas
Never dumpin’ overseas, overseas
Oh, they think-

Mama was dyin’, we watched it
Hit up a sauna, we lost it
Hopped on the floor at the moshpit
Better put down the duster
All I want now is the muster
I'll send prostitutes to Pitchfork, somebody need to be laid
I stand with my pitchforks somebody in the big got paid
Something when I cut the grass low
It's easier to see assholes
Taking stand for the love though
Got a son, I need one more
Shorty in shorts, Grabbed me by the Schwartz, Last resorts
Money is more of a weapon than a tool
I got a top for a weapon in the school

Couldn't it kite, wouldn't it?
Over the type wouldn't it?
And with this dumb phone
Bump on them see them
Bump on it something when they see them
Got what they want when we feed them
Every time wifey go prison

Everything importés, all they crazy in more ways
Everything run more ways I got more [?]
