A Brother Lost

We just lost a brother

He brought joy in our lives

Now tears to our eyes

We just lost a brother

The funniest of us all

Just like that he's gone

We just lost a brother

The one held us together

Made us all feel better

We just lost a brother

Whose value was more

Than what he lost his life for

We just lost a brother

To a bullet with no name

Now the block won't be the same

See, we just lost a brother

I lost interest in the streets

When I saw him at my feet

The moment I looked into the eyes of my brother

Being held by someone who lost more than us

His own mother
