Oddisee - Be There lyrics

[Verse 1] I know I'm hardly ever home And it's hard to ever get me on the phone But you get me, I'll never leave you alone You ain't with me but I got you I'll spot you if your money's ever low But k** all that pride sh** cause brothers don't hide sh** Different mothers never made us siblings divided Our father taught us lessons through the way he provided When talking about bonds this as strong as the tie gets What ever you choose to do in life, I'm behind it And shout out to my brothers not related by blood Some people think I made it, if it's true it's because I had a team that when sh** got real, and I doubted my dreams They'd remind me it ain't as hard as it seems I just hope that I can pay them all back for the advice that they gave Will I ever match the price to be paid I don't know, but I'll spend my whole life trying to make things right If you need me, I'ma be within sight And we gon' be alright [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Crazy to be your older brother There's women but my sisters in the category other I guess I got a fear of some sh** that I did Being done to them by some n***a they love dear I only hope that the lessons that I gave them as kids Stay with them in relationships and they know the biz Cause y'all are young women now and I see you as such No need to worry cause the cloth that we cut from tough Y'all troopers in the moment of clutch, don't ever give up But when things rough, just know I'm there A liver, heart or kidney know that you've got a spare I hope to be your role model, a best friend and brother From the bottom of my heart, you know I love you The world is yours but I'ma hold it till you're ready And hand it over to you when your situation's steady Just finish your college, live a little, and make some mistakes The type you bounce back from, no permanent aches And I got you if it's ever more than you can take
