Brother Blood

Brother blood, brother blood

We're of the same spirit, of the same mud

Brother blood, brother blood

We" re from the same water, we're from the same

I've got scars from livin', scars from love

Strike me dead if I'm lyin'

I've got brothers below, and brothers above

With all of our blood we are tryin'

I keep tryin' for everything

It comes a piece at a time

I've got a mountain I'm determined to climb

But I took the heat, created the beat

And I've got the heart of a lion

I've got friends who are dead, friends in jail

I've got friends who are policemen

And the girls I know now, the girls I knew then

I still make my music to please them

I keep tryin' for everything

I don't count the cost

But 1 see an ocean I'm determined to cross

'Cause I look the heat, created the beat

And I've got the strength of a dragon

I've got dnims of the jungle, drums of the street

Dmms of the Indian chief

I've got the fire of the gospel, a river of blues

And I got the soul of belief

And I keep tryin' for everything

It's been a long, long road

I've got a song that's about to explode

I was born to the beat that pounds like the heat

And I've got the drums of the spirit

Brother blood, brother blood

We're of the same spirit, of the same mud

Brother blood, brother blood

We're from the same water, we're from the same

Quand bondieu vie' ou li prend!
