Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was lookin' at your face
and I only saw my fear
Let a story they wrote for us
be the voice in my ear
Called you enemy, my mirror
threw my bloodline in the fire
I was swingin' for my brother
like that’s how we climb higher
[Chorus]
Brother, forgive me
for the times I forgot your name
For believin' what they taught me
and passin' down that same old pain
Oh, my people, can you feel me
I been standin' in my shame
Brother, forgive me
while we learn to love again
[Verse 2]
We was fightin' over crumbs
like we don’t own the table
Turned our back on our own skin
just to feel a little stable
Heard that lie so many times
it started soundin' like my thought
Every side-eye, every cold shoulder
was a war somebody bought
[Chorus]
Brother, forgive me
for the times I forgot your name
For believin' what they taught me
and passin' down that same old pain
Oh, my people, can you feel me
I been standin' in my shame
Brother, forgive me
while we learn to love again
[Bridge]
To the babies watchin' us break
I’m sorry for the show
For the jokes, for the jabs
for the “he ain’t one of us” tone
I’m askin' you, my kin
let’s lay our weapons down
If I see you as my brother
then we both can wear this crown (yeah)
[Chorus]
Brother, forgive me
for the times I forgot your name
For believin' what they taught me
and feedin' you that borrowed pain
Oh, my people, can you feel me
I been standin' in my shame
Brother, forgive me
while we learn to love again
[Outro]
Hand to hand, eye to eye
we can heal what they divide
If I stumble, pull me in
say, "You still my brother, friend"
