[Verse 1]
We grew on cracked cement
With our names in the dust
Shared the last bit of bread
Shared the same hard trust
When the night came swinging
You stood in my line
If they came for my blood
You said, take mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands up, hearts out
We don't fold
Fire in our chest
More than gold
I was lost once
You pulled me home
Now I wear your scars
Like my own
[Chorus]
My brother's keeper
I will not break
My brother's keeper
I will take the weight
If you fall, I fall
If you kneel, I stay
My brother's keeper
Come what may
My brother's keeper
We stand today
[Verse 2]
Mama prayed over us
With her hands shook tight
Said a man stays true
When the world goes black at night
I seen hell on the block
Seen friends turn cold
But you kept your word
Made my weak heart bold
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands up, hearts out
We don't fold
Fire in our chest
More than gold
I was lost once
You pulled me home
Now I wear your scars
Like my own
[Chorus]
My brother's keeper
I will not break
My brother's keeper
I will take the weight
If you fall, I fall
If you kneel, I stay
My brother's keeper
Come what may
My brother's keeper
We stand today
[Bridge]
When the sirens call
And the shadows lean
I won't leave your side
That's what family means
I swear on the blood
I swear on the flame
One heart, one house
One holy name
[Final Chorus]
My brother's keeper
I will not break
My brother's keeper
I will take the weight
If you fall, I fall
If you kneel, I stay
My brother's keeper
Come what may
My brother's keeper
We stand today
My brother's keeper
Till the last light fades
My brother's keeper
We are made this way
