the empire project - brian's song lyrics

[verse 1]
i never agreed to grow up
i never wanted to deal with all the obstacles
i never thought of growing old without you
but then you never made it home from the hospital
and i clutched mema’s hand
and we hoped and begged
“god, please let it, be just a, broken leg”
but it ain’t a broken leg
and i’m well aware
mama’s on the road to delaware
and mema knows it’s bad
but she’s being hella careful
with her words
cause she knows if i hear how serious it is
i’ll be a handful
and throw a tantrum
cause i can’t handle it
cause there ain’t a 12 year old on earth
who coulda planned for this
we hoped and prayed for miracles
but never saw the luck
and i never saw it coming
you never saw the truck
i hadn’t seen you in months
you spent weeks in a coma
i thought i’d see you today
but you never made it home, i
woulda k!lled to have you there
to watch me get my diploma
but i could feel you in the air
dave, i could hear you cheering, oh my
mama told me that life wasn’t fair
it was like i had to grow up and my big brother wasn’t there
but i swear
you left behind, the greatest blessing
you left me your best friend
to teach me every life lesson
i’m guessin’
you knew that he’d be there for me
and when i’m stressing, there ain’t no greater therapy
you took your last breath, and i could barely breathe
but there’s always been a guarantee
you’re my brother from another mother
and you’re an angel but you’re undercover

[chorus]
we ain’t blood
but you’re my brother
just like a son
to my mother
and i know the sun
shines above us

we ain’t blood, blood
but you’re my brother

ayyy
we ain’t blood
but you’re my brother
just like a son
to my mother
and i know the sun
shines above us

we ain’t blood, blood
but you’re my brother

[verse 2]
and i gotta thank brian
for saving me from a lonely hell
for being the brother that i lost when i was only 12
all along, i’m sure you were fighting your own demons
but you always came around and lightened the tone, seamless
we were dreamers
even if they saw us as sleepers
and david, your best man, saved my life, bro
you picked a keeper
and he might be shocked that i wrote a song about him
but i doubt he knows, i wouldn’t have lasted long without him
he picked me up and carried me
when i lost you, i nearly lost my mind and it almost buried me
and i can see you in him, david
his laugh, his sarcasm, his love, and his ability
to go filling the
darkness, with a light
and put will in me
there’s a hope that you’ve instilled in me
and i hope, that you don’t, find this song, embarr-ssing
but who you’ve been to me
i swear i’ll always be for harrison
and i hope that baby knows how much uncle david loves him
i hope he knows his guardian angel is always right above him
and wherever he goes walking, he’ll be right beside him
and uncle nico’s always gonna be right here to guide him
that goes for keirsten and robbie, too man, i always got em
i’ll be right there, to pick them up, when they feel, on the bottom
they accepted me
never abandoned me
they welcomed me in
and now they’re family
so brian
here’s a thank you
you give me strength
i feel like there ain’t nothing that i can’t do
you stuck around
and it wasn’t like you had to
but now i know, i got you for life
just like a tattoo
and bet your -ss, when you need me
i got your back too
that’s true
i’m seeing that through, cause
you’re my brother from another mother, yeah
and you’re an angel but you’re undercover, oh

[chorus]
we ain’t blood
but you’re my brother
just like a son
to my mother
and i know the sun
shines above us
we ain’t blood, blood
but you’re my brother
we ain’t blood
but you’re my brother
just like a son
to my mother
and i know the sun
shines above us
we ain’t blood, blood
but you’re my brother
