Brown Brother Lyrics by Lisi

Perspective

2021

[Intro]
I am brown
Do not regret it
'Cause wherever you go, I'll take us
Brown brother, do not be afraid to be the first
The first to graduate, the first to climb
The first Prime Minister or the first good wife, brown brother
Do not be afraid to be the change
Not a change that's against all colour
The change of mindset
[Chorus]
My brown brother
That's my uso, that's my toko, my tagane
Yeah, I got 'em
'Cause I love my brown brother
We came up from the gutter
Had no one but each other
'Causе that's my brown brother
Ain't no way that I could leave him, I'II always bеlieve in
My brown brother
Yeah, my brown brother
[Verse 1]
Yeah, man, what a time to be alive and to be brown (Ayy)
I'm a Samoan descendent and they know that 'cause I'm proud (Uh-huh)
I remember the days when they were always lookin' down
But now we're climbin' up the ranks, slowly reachin' for the crown (Ha)
We migrated as labourers, you know that's facts (True)
In them sugar cane fields fuckin' breakin' back (Aha)
Pretty much slaves at that, and then they tried to send us back
But nowadays we got the world listenin' to our tracks (All day)
I represent my brown brothers (My uso), it's our time (Swear)
Despite our dark skin, we manage to outshine
'Cause we always work hard, they know that we grind
They only need brown brothers when they wanna drink wine (Aha)
But now we got them listenin' to our music on the charts
Even up on the rugby field, we got the most heart
I promise that we're different
My peoples like no other
One day, I know we'll make it because we faith in
[Chorus]
My brown brother
That's my uso, that's my toko, my tagane
Yeah, I got 'em
'Cause I love my brown brother
We came up from the gutter
Had no one but each other
'Cause that's my brown brother
Ain't no way that I could leave him, I'II always believe in
My brown brother
Yeah, my brown brother
[Verse 2]
I know that it's a tough pill to swallow but there's a norm that we follow
Which causes stereotypes to become a promise (Okay)
I know we'll make it out 'cause it's not what we're about
But let me break it down and display some of our common options (Tell me)
Like option A, we end up workin' hard in a factory
Slavin' away just to feed our families (That's facts)
Or option B, we're handlin' the beef on the streets
Endin' up dead or captured by police (Nah)
It's normal for our people to be screamin', "Fuck the system"
So I wanna set it straight, make you relate to what I vision
My brothers, we have to start usin' our intuition
And stop blamin' the world when we're the ones makin' decisions (Yeah)
This is some real shit, I hope you feel this
And use it to break the barriers I know we deal with
As your uso, I just pray that we uplift one another
And put that on my mother, 'til I'm six feet under that got my
[Chorus]
My brown brother (Still got my brown brother)
That's my uso, that's my toko, my tagane
Yeah, I got 'em
'Cause I love my brown brother (I love my brown brother)
We came up from the gutter
Had no one but each other
'Cause that's my brown brother (Yeah-yeah)
Ain't no way that I could leave him, I'II always believe in
My brown brother (Said I got my brown brother)
Yeah, my brown brother (Yeah-yeah)
[Outro]
I'm not just sayin' this to make you feel better
I'm sayin' this 'cause I know
From one brown brother to another
