Mac Miller - We Brothers in Arms lyrics

What's the matter, all your guns have a cold?
'Cause y'all be lettin' bullets run out
Like you blowin' your nose
You just a dro in some clothes
Lie when homes don't explode
Family of four hit's the floor with
Their bones on the road
I ain't hatin' on your duty
Y'all some soldiers of war
Kids dyin' in the street
Don't even know there's a war
You've heard it before
Victims hidden by the president
Invadin' countries for some weapons
Missin' all the evidence
Imprison the prisoners
Listen to parishioners look at yourself
Takin' orders from your minister
Mind-locked, you's a POW
Ain't a real man if every
Death doesn't trouble you


George W, you just not learnin'
Brainwashed by the sermon
You thought you heard certain
One in a dozen, a cousin didn't have a choice
Wanted to go home
But they didn't let him have a voice
Say it was right, wanted to make him a wife
But the evil
Lethal people already takin' his life
So if ya takin' a stand
Make sure that you can
And don't ever speak if you're
Not raisin' your hand
The life he made for his son
Savin' his funds dreamin' 'bout the doctor
Lawyer that one day he'd become
But too busy playin' with guns
They say it was dumb
How you supposed to hide when
You got nowhere to run?
It's a shame 'cause Nick would've
Been a great father
Why bother the same slaughter to praise Allah
I oughta celebrate my cousin's memory
But who deserves a penalty in
A fight without an enemy?

We brothers in arms, we can't give a hand
I can't sit back and let it happen
Livin' to stand
Takin' it on as my personal mission
Try and yell for help
But ain't nobody listen

Kids dream about just bein' some thugs
But they just shrug when you ask
Them if they busted a slug
And now you dropped out of school
'cause you thought it was cool
Forgot that your crew never even
Shot at a dude when you cocked up the Uzi
Now you locked into juvie
Tryna imitate the gangster that you
Saw in the movies your act didn't fool me
You're still just a goonie
Tryna pull that if I don't move
You're gonna shoot me go ahead
Do me in if that's how it has to happen
'Cause, I'ma keep rappin' when
The people stop clappin'
Stop askin' 'cause I'm hatin' not lovin'
You're nothin' if you're willin' to
Shoot down your own brother

I ain't tryna act like a modern prophet
I don't even give charity money out my pocket
The Glock? Nah, never cocked it
So drop it, haters need to stop it
Words seek your brain like
A heat-seekin' rocket
I talk the talk as well as walk it
I speak from the heart, haters just mock it
Tryna reunite people like Pac did
God, is there a chance that you're there?
If you're listenin', will you please
Answer my prayers? I know it's been a while
Since our last conversation
I think Satan's been givin' me temptation
It's your vocation to give me salvation
So please
Can you help me with my current situation?
Since creation, my orientation
I've had the information, given inspiration
When can I expect the next resurrection?
I'm lookin' in the mirror
Not seein' a reflection
So if you see Easy Mac, bless him
'Cause he's in need of protection

We brothers in arms, but we can't give a hand
I can't sit back, let it happen
Livin' to stand
Takin' it on as my personal mission
Try and yell for help
But ain't nobody listen
We brothers in arms, but we can't give a hand
I can't sit back, let it happen
Livin' to stand
Takin' it on as my personal mission
Try and yell for help
But ain't nobody listen

Nobody listens, suspicion of an infection
Comin' from both sides, change of direction
I'm watchin' you other
Rappers like inspection
And then I'll trash you
Like garbage collection
