Jimmy Cliff - Brother lyrics
[Jimmy Cliff - Brother lyrics]
Will you patronize me – brother
Do you recognize me – brother
Do you believe what your teacher said
Or is it the food that your preacher fed
Why you minimize me – brother oh brother
Joseph and his brothers – left Canaan
They saw the little brother – in Egypt
They both had the same cause
And the same purpose
They come about the same hurt that
They got back the most
Do you understand me – my brother oh brother
Brother
Let us help the fallen – sister
She will love to call you – mister
Do you see the need for unity
To bring about respect and dignity
Don’t you understand me – my brother brother
Will you patronize me – brother
Do you recognize me – brother
Is it the things that your teacher said
Or is it the food that your preacher fed
Why you minimize me – my brother oh brother
Are you my brother now hey hey
Yeah oh yeah hey hey
Are you my brother, my brother
My brother, my brother, my brother
Are you my brother now hey hey hey hey
Are you my brother, my brother
My brother, my brother, my brother
You don’t wanna understand me now oh brother
Oh brother oh brother
Are you my brother, my brother, my brother
My brother, my brother, my brother
My brother
Do you recognize me – brother
Do you believe what your teacher said
Or is it the food that your preacher fed
Why you minimize me – brother oh brother
Joseph and his brothers – left Canaan
They saw the little brother – in Egypt
They both had the same cause
And the same purpose
They come about the same hurt that
They got back the most
Do you understand me – my brother oh brother
Brother
Let us help the fallen – sister
She will love to call you – mister
Do you see the need for unity
To bring about respect and dignity
Don’t you understand me – my brother brother
Will you patronize me – brother
Do you recognize me – brother
Is it the things that your teacher said
Or is it the food that your preacher fed
Why you minimize me – my brother oh brother
Are you my brother now hey hey
Yeah oh yeah hey hey
Are you my brother, my brother
My brother, my brother, my brother
Are you my brother now hey hey hey hey
Are you my brother, my brother
My brother, my brother, my brother
You don’t wanna understand me now oh brother
Oh brother oh brother
Are you my brother, my brother, my brother
My brother, my brother, my brother
My brother
