	A small boy walked down a city street
	And hope was in his eyes
	As he searched the faces of the people he'd meet
	Or one he could recognize
	Brother, where are you?
	They told me that you came this way
	Brother, where are you?
	They said you came this way
	Brother, where are you?
	Brother, where are you?
	The eyes of the people who passed him by
	Were cold and hard as stone
	The small boy whimpered and began to cry
	Because he was all alone
	Brother, where are you?
	They told me that you came this way
	Brother, where are you?
	They said you came this way
	Where are you?
	Brother, where are you?
	Don't you know I need you now
	(Boots Rap)
	I'm calling out from the top
	Of a ten foot pile of knots
	They call us cool
	If you smile or not
	And if you dial the cops
	I'm gonna try to shot
	See it's a violence plot
	Tell the judge
	'I give a f what kind of file I got'
	I'm trying to calculate my damages
	From a lifetime of manmade savages
	Bad food canisters
	Fast food managers
	And school principals
	Who really prison wooden chips
	Dough to the mo'
	Flush my load in the commo'
	But it never was
	Never is
	You believe in lined lie images
	Of front line scrimmages
	Support the crime bills of the president
	Now it's a sacrileges
	Attack the kids
	And get the older generation
	Just to back the pigs
	So when I whisper as I leave the line of where I was
	Brother, can you join the brawl?
	Where are you?
	Now there are many
	Who will swear it's true
	That brother all we are
	And yet it seems there are very few
	Who will answer a brother's call
	Oh brother, where are you?
	They told me that you came this way
	Brother, where are you?
	They said you came this way
	Where are you?
	Where are you?
	Brother, where are you?
	Oh brother
	Brother, where are you?
	Where are you?
	Brother, where are you?
	Brother, where are you?
	Where are you?

	Brother, where are you?

	Brother, where are you?
	Don' t you know I need you now
