It's too bad
my brother can't be here today
It's too bad
my brother can't be here today
Well, one time he came around to my house, you know
And I was kinda like outta my mind
And I seen him a-cryin' away
I say hey baby, hey yeah
Hear me cry
baby, baby, baby
Baby Hear me cry
Remember that room full of mirrors I was tellin' you about
I said brother
Don't tell me you come around here to hustle
like the rest of people do
I say brother, brother
Don't tell me you came around here hustlin'
like the rest of those people do
Well...And he said "no no, brother Jim"
He said "I'm just comin' here to look for life like you"
He said "don't fear I'm your brother, baby"
I say that's what happen sometime
When you lose yourself in nothin'
And he looked at me, you know
he sees these two blondes laying around next to me
I said Lord, please don't lose yourself
That what happen when you lose yourself on nothin'

He said "baby, you know me, I'm your brother"
Please don't take me for nothin'
It's too bad, too bad
Lord, my brother just can't be here with me today
It's too bad
My brother can't be here with me today
But he came around to my house and uh
Asked for me uh, help him
I said, man go ahead on your hustlin' way, yeah
And I think they send him away to the war today
(yeah)
So I'll go way across the tracks, way across the tracks
And man they treat me the same as you do
Well, I'll go way back over across the track
And they treat me the same as you too
Say man until you come back, completely black,
go back where you came from too
(yeah)
(hey hey hey hey)
