So many times you tried to cut we
you wanna tear we down but you
can't touch we/We ain't invincible
but Lord knows we're beautiful and
blessed/ check the affirmative
(oh yes)
Brotha don't let nobody hold you
back no no no/ Don't let nobody
hold ja , control ya or mold ja
Brotha don't let nobody hold you
back
Am I my brother's keeper?
Yes I am!
So many times you tried to burn we
You wanna break we down/
(Use and discard)/ We ain't invincible
but Lord knows we are magnificent
and blessed
Check for the positive
Brotha don't let nobody hold you
back no no no/ Don't let nobody hold you never no/
Brotha don't let nobody hold you back/ Don't let nobody
hold you never NO/ Brotha don't let nobody hold you back no no no
If'n nobody told ya brotha, I'm here
to let you know that/ You're so wonderful
You're so marvelous
You're so beautiful
You're splendid
You're fabulous
Brilliantly blessed in every way/ Ya'll can't touch we
Brotha don't let nobody hold you back
adlib to end
