BROTHER TURNED STRANGER

[Intro]
Yeah…
Same blood, different heart
Funny how the closest ones can tear you apart
I called you brother…
You called it opportunity.

[Verse 1]
We shared one plate when the money was low,
Same old shoes when we had nowhere to go,
I told you my plans, told you my fears,
You stood beside me through the hardest years.

I gave you my trust, I gave you my name,
You smiled in my face while you played your game,
I thought if I fell, you'd be there for me,
But you were the one who was digging beneath me.

I remember them nights when we dreamed of the top,
Said nobody could break us, said nobody could stop,
Now I'm hearing stories that you spread around town,
Trying to build yourself by bringing me down.

[Pre-Chorus]
Brother, brother, how you do me like that?
Had my back in the picture, knife in the back.
I would've died for you, that's a fact,
Now I look in your eyes and I don't know you back.

[Chorus]
You betrayed your brother,
Sold our loyalty for another,
We came from the gutter,
Now you act like you don't remember.

Brother turned stranger,
Love turned into anger,
I gave you my trust,
You gave me the danger.

[Verse 2]
You knew every door that I was trying to open,
Knew every dream that I kept in my heart,
Then you took my secrets and turned them to weapons,
Used everything I told you to tear me apart.

But I won't revenge, I won't become you,
God knows the pain that I went through,
Let the streets talk, let the people decide,
I know what I gave and I know what you hide.

Now I'm moving alone, but I'm moving with purpose,
Pain made me stronger, betrayal had a purpose,
You thought that breaking me would make me fall,
But sometimes losing one brother saves you all.

[Bridge]
Same blood…
But blood don't always mean loyalty.
Same house…
But some people still become enemies.

I forgive you…
But I can't forget.
You lost a brother
The moment you chose disrespect.

[Final Chorus]
You betrayed your brother,
Sold our loyalty for another,
We came from the gutter,
Now you act like you don't remember.

Brother turned stranger,
Love turned into anger,
I gave you my trust,
You gave me the danger.

[Outro]
No more calling my phone…
No more “brother” when you're alone…
We had something money couldn't buy.
You traded it for a lie.

Now I'm walking my road…
And you're walking yours.
Same blood.
Different heart.
