My Brother's Keeper

(album: Descendants Of Cain - 2020)

"Cain, where is Abel, thy brother?"
"I know not! Am I my brother's keeper?"

Question Cain asked God was...
Am I my brother's...

Kaseem a survivor
Vowed to be a pro, so when I grow, I'm a provider
If you a king, esteem a queen, don't deprive her
Make sure she the truth, don't confide in a Delilah
You know she want the main cut
Fast as you can slide, curve her, get the change up
With the grey ox, moms called me Chaos, the name stuck
Survived the illest setting with skill and blessing, it ain't luck

Am I my brothers?
Am I my brother's...

Keeper of the faith, in the street used to keep it on the waist
Had enough grief, now wish to keep it in the safe
The demons been eating, my people need a taste
Did any dirt and it was pertinent, 'cause we ain't leave a trace
Righteous offerings remain in aim
They rejected like grains of Cain
Ka speak fly, they sayings is plain
Perhaps they no match, 'cause we was playing in flame (That fire)
Every morning sure you saw the exercise
Defensive pose for foes, I don't recognize
Respect due to those who step to, never step aside
Always on watch for wolves, I got shepherd eyes

Am I my brothers?
Am I my brother's... keeper?

For brushes with the law, they'll comb the streets
A fest that the jester's got the throne in fleece
Want a shot at the pie, better own a piece
This ain't for sport, once it's caught we don't release
My birth right like a Sumerian
Made it out the belly with my cut like a cesarean
For goods robbing with hoods, we wasn't merry men
Ain't recall a second we ball, we got harried in
Couldn't sleep, raised in the Land of Nod
Every girl's abused, every man was scarred
They spit and tell, ain't sitting well, can't stand facade
Whoever held a hammer, had the hand of God
To grip a pearl in wicked world, now they be jewel-written
They shit on your bird if you a stool pigeon
Each page could tell I'm engaged, every jewel given
Life can end days fighting men, so at night duel women

Am I my brothers?
Am I my brother's keeper?
Am I my brothers?
Am I my brother's keeper?
(Yes)

"The deed of Cain was multiplied a thousand times."
