Lyrics:
by the sword
You shall perish by the sword
If you live by the sword
You shall perish by the sword, brother
My sister, you must remember the word is
Draggin' old Mustang '69
Top dropped back an' lookin' fine
Workin' the groove, backin' up with Scotch
Lookin' like Sir Lancelot
What it is, brother
you know
We're all brothers under the skin
With a few adjustments now
Living in the perfect system
The adjustment's simple there is really no
If the wife and I are fussin', brother that's our right
'Cause me and that sweet woman's got a license to fight
Why don't you mind your own
I've got brothers in suit's in my faculty
Pushin' peace in the streets - North, West
South and East student of the game
Yeah it's time to make a change
I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I've been running ev'r since
It's been a long time, a long time coming
But I
If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he's sowed
And if you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop
Stick up kids is out to tax
Stick up kids is out to tax
Stick up kids is out to tax
And this is how the story goes
Brothers are amused by
back home
Will you take the high road
Will you take the low road
Oh brother
You're out on your own
Goodbye
Is this how it's got to be
Call by
were tried
Found ourselves dissatisfied
Seeking wisdom that she denied
Trying hard to lay it down
Lay it down, brother,lay it down
It's so hard
just by the side of amsterdam
Just by my left brain, just by the side of the tin man
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh
I'm sorry, brother I'm sorry, I bring you
But he wouldn't stop and I ain't Ice Cube
But I had to take the brother out for being rude
And like I said before I was mad by then
It took three
A preacher shuns his brother
Cause his bride's a different color
And this is not acceptable
His papa taught him so
It was love that he'd been
to speak my voice
Please forgive the profanity and give hugs
And blessings to my brother Kirk
For standing by me in a
Few hours the journey begins
All
can't fool me
We both know who you are
Homeboy, you're gonna wish one day,
That you were sittin' on a gate of a truck by the lake
With your high school
I tried to break away from you
From the spics and blacks and the gum you chew
Where the posters are torn by the muggin' gangs
By the faggy park
Brother, I know how you feel
I can see you're blinded by the sadness of it all
But look a little closer, everything will be revealed
Look a little closer,
I tried to break away from you
From the spics and blacks and the gum you chew
Where the posters are torn by the muggin' gangs
By the faggy park
to eat
Mamma said it didn't look right, black just don't mix with white
But Billy was my friend and we swore one rainy night
To be blood brother
Stick up kids is out to tax
Stick up kids is out to tax
Stick up kids is out to tax
And this is how the story goes
Brothers are amused by
the family circle at the throne
Though the circle won't be broken
By and by, Lord, by and by
Daddy sang bass (mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would
vow
You'll pay in a paragon of sorrow, you made my son
Your brother's bane
My greed and gain
Your brother's bane
My greed and gain
Somehow, by
While Brother Bird still.... flies!
Brother Lark, see him wake the day
See him fly on by
Above the streets now empty
To his mournful cry
Brother
been cookin' all morning, and you haven't touched a single bite
That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today
Said he'd be pleased to have
