DON’T SAY BROTHER
You said brother
You meant leverage
You said brother
You meant leverage
Stole the funds
Took the plans
Wiped the proof
With steady hands
Pulled the cord
Burned the ground
Left the silence
To make the sound
Called it mutual
Sold the lie
Left a crowd
Asking why
From day one
It was theft
Feeding deep
On borrowed breath
Say it again
Say it slow
Don’t say brother
If you walk away
Don’t wear honor
You can’t claim that name
Wouldn’t stand with you
Wouldn’t stay
That wasn’t brotherhood
You took the gold and ran your way
You took the gold and ran your way
Stole his valor
Used his name
Hung your hat
On his game
Killed his spirit
Cut the line
Left him there
Then sold a public lie
You don’t stand
When pressure roars
Weak and hollow
Unfit for war
You didn’t build
You stole his grace
You left them
You left them
You left them to die
Not in battle
After the fight
When the weight came down
You chose your side
Stolen credit
No repair
Almost broke
What you never cared
That’s not brotherhood
That’s a drain
Living off another man’s pain
The crowd applauds
What looks composed
But patterns repeat
What stays unowned
Cowards hide where disgrace feels safe
Masks don’t heal
They just delay
Truth stays quiet
It always waits
History remembers
Who dishonored the grave
Destiny swapping, exposed and clear
Grinning through guilt, disguising fear
Built on distortion, that’s how you remain
Trying to wear another man’s pain
Don’t say brother
If you walk away
Don’t wear honor
You can’t claim that name
Wouldn’t stand with you
Wouldn’t stay
That wasn’t brotherhood
You took the gold and ran your way
You took the gold and ran your way
You didn’t win
You showed the rule
Brotherhood demands burden
If it costs nothing
It was never true
You didn’t win
You showed the rule
If it costs nothing
It was never true
Brotherhood demands burden
If it costs nothing
It was never true
I would never go to war with you
Don’t say brother
If you walk away
Don’t wear honor
You can’t claim that name
Wouldn’t stand with you
Wouldn’t stay
That wasn’t brotherhood
You took the gold and ran your way
You took the gold and ran your way
22 Veterans Die a Day, you left him on the hill. #dontsaybrother
