Jimblah Brotherman Lyrics

[Chorus: Jimblah]
So tell me brotherman
You're dead wrong
You stole enough cars, got locked up
With sistergirl drunk sitting in the front and crashed into a pole
And now she's dead
And you can't take it back now

[Verse 1: Jimblah]
For all the dumb shit we did
Tell me brotherman
Man you better start learning from your mistakes
By the time that you changed hope it's never too late
Or far off in the distance reminiscing about the things you did in your past
Move one, time is now

I have seen a whole lot of heads get caught up in the system
Blame the white man for all the problems they get into
Enough of that, the bitterness and the hate
We could put it in the same place we keep the pain, tucked away
Utilise, fuel to the fire
This is a phoenix take flight
Inspire the uprise enough for people oppressed
We ain't sitting in silence like, knowledge is power
Key of freedom for the freedom fighter

Brother when you feel a lot wiser it's time to re-approach, rock a cipher
And life would be enlightened, I wait upon the horizon
Think of where we came from, and the fight that's inside

[Break: Jimblah]
Brotherman, Brotherman
For the pain (Brotherman, Brotherman) For the hate (Brotherman, Brotherman)
I would do what it takes, Brotherman I can do what it takes
Brotherman, Brotherman
For the love (Brotherman, Brotherman)
For the heart (Brotherman, Brotherman)
Against all odds, What up friend
For all the dumb shit we did

[Chorus: Jimblah, Jada Alberts]

[Verse 2: Jimblah]
Friend you got to start learning from your mistakes
Before they, lock you in chains, third strikes call your name
Constraints hold us down push forward for a
Child going through the exact same struggle as you
You see it through a consumerism name and it came
To the front pages of the newpaper but blatant lies
Of misbehaviour, young black male, criminal mind
Trying to finally fit in society
Here's where to begin for the kids making the same mistakes that I did
Head up, brotherman ain't breaking under pressure
Forever, I worry blood blessed upon us
Remember what we once was, and where we came from
For now I sing for freedom
What they believe about us couldn't be further from the truth
See the truth is that's just what they want us to do
Show em proof represent for the mean while it's time to get that proof

[Break to Chorus]
