Jimmy Cliff - Brother

This lyric contains biblical references. Click here to show the references.

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
Genesis 37:28; Gen. 42:3

They saw the little brother, in Egypt
Genesis 42:7-8

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 - brother
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
So 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..
