Don't Call Me Brother

Don't you call me brother
Don't you call me brother
How can you call me brother
You don't respect my woman
How can you call me brother
I can't trust you behind my back
How can you call me brother
You keep trying to rip me off
How can you call me brother
When you can't hug a brother that's tough

Don't you call me brother
Don't you call me brother
How can you call me brother
You ain't searching for the truth
How can you call me brother

I can't never depend on you
How can you call me brother
You still cheat and tell lies
How can you call me brother
When you can't look me in my eyes
Don't you call me brother
Don't you call me brother

Hey brother, hey brother, that's what you say
But when I turn my back, you try to blow me away
You stole my TV set, you took my brand new car
You tried to mug my mother at the grocery store
Don't you call me, don't call me brother
Till you get yourself together now
Don't you call me brother, no

How can you call me brother
When you ain't searching for the truth
How can you call me brother
I can't never depend on you
How can you call me brother
You still cheat and tell lies
How can you call me brother
When you can't look me in my eyes
Don't you call me brother
Don't you call me brother

I was walking downtown at 12 o'clock noon
It was the brother man that lowered the spoon
Hey brother, hey brother, can you use this

That's when I got hit with two big fists
Say hey brother, I'm sorry and I know how you feel
You better open your eyes, for this is the real deal

My brother, my brother, that's what you're not

When you try to take me for all I've got
Don't call me brother if you ain't down
'Cause when times get hard, my brother ain't around
Sometimes they're up, sometimes they're down
But you never know when the brother's around
You better watch out, son, you better watch out, girl
Because the brothers, man, they're gonna rule the world

Don't you call me brother
Don't you call me brother
Hey brother, hey brother, that's what you say
But when I turn my back, you try to blow me away
You stole my TV set, you took my brand new car
You tried to mug my mama at the grocery store
How can you call me brother
When you're not searching for the truth
How can you call me brother

When I can't depend on you
Don't don't don't, don't you call me
Don't call me brother, no
Till you get yourself together

Don't you call me brother
You got to mean it
Don't you call me brother
Don't you call me brother
