Oh the pressure, pressure yeah      When we were young, life was so unjust at times I felt it was just us   Mama working hard to put food on the table   All on her own she sacrificed even when my brothers and sisters died   Some how she stayed strong, I never saw her cry      I was the oldest and responsibility was so immense   The tension, we'd disagree so I left at the time I felt she hated me   Told me to be strong, told me to hang on   Hugged me tight, and said, "Big sister it'll be alright"      Brother, I love ya, little brother   I thank God for ya every day   Little brother, I love ya, little brother   And I pray He'll never take you away      When my soul withered and I lived in the dark   An emptiness it filled my heart you never stopped holdin' me up   Never stopped tryin' to open me up   The days and nights I spent stressin' the years I spent in depression   This is my confession      Thought about ending it sometimes   But the second you crossed my mind   I knew, I could never leave you   Made me believe, you set me free   To this day, all I say and do, I owe it all to you      Brother, I love ya, little brother   I thank God for you every day   Little brother, I love ya, little brother   And I pray He'll never take you away      Ooh, I would lie for you, cry for you, ride or die for you   Touch the sky for you if you asked me to theres nothin' I wont do   I took this life for joke, I would drink or smoke to ease away the pain   And forget the memories up in my brain   But you helped me to stop the rain oh brother brother      Brother, I love ya, little brother   I thank God for you every day   Little brother, I love ya, little brother   And I pray He'll never take you away      Brother, I love ya, little brother   I thank God for you every day   Little brother, I love ya, little brother   And I pray He'll never take you away
