1st Chorus: 2x (Poetic Lace)
Awww man, Cain killed Abel,
Another man down it’s a murder case,
What we gone do to end all this evil,
Let the world know I’m my brother’s keeper

1st Verse: (Poetic Lace)
Breaking news man kills his brother,
Envy was the motive and it grew as Satan showed up,
King James said the murder happened in the field,
Stones hidden in the heart weapon concealed,
Wait hold up, we have a Witness,
He was there from the start, beginning, Genesis,
Life sentences, Cain is dealing with consequences,
If not your best it’s your worst no differences,
Cain, what have you done?
Your brother’s blood cries from the ground you can’t run,
Talking bout, “am I my brother’s keeper”,
Dead hearted you look like the Grim Reaper,
Don’t count strange it’s the same ol’ thang,
Cut the news on and see the same ol’ pain,
Man kills man while mother cries in her hands,
Turn the music on and hear a man kill over bands,
Am I my brother’s keeper (yes I am),
Am I my brother’s keeper (yes I am),
Now it’s time to show it,
Love your neighbor as yourself so the world will know it

2nd Chorus: 2x (Poetic Lace)
Awww man, Cain killed Abel,
Another man down it’s a murder case,
What we gone do to end all this evil,
Let the world know I’m my brother’s keeper
2nd Verse: (Poetic Lace)
This Just In some more news,
Cause yall didn’t catch what I said in the first clues,
Brother loses brother, mother loses son,
Sister loses friend, and the father feels stunned,
Neighborhood full of cameras, straight shooters,
They want to go viral, computers,
It’s just another story,
A lot of lives lost when you check the inventory,
Some go to prison, others to the grave,
Violence in the hood makes the black man a slave,
Dear God, please hear my prayer,
Come into our hearts take a seat here’s the chair,
Open up our eyes so at Christ we’ll stare,
Teach us how to love so for people we’ll care,
When you realize you’re your brother’s keeper,
Your shallow heart grows depth, you love deeper

3rd Chorus: 2x (Poetic Lace)
Awww man, Cain killed Abel,
Another man down it’s a murder case,
What we gone do to end all this evil,
Let the world know I’m my brother’s keeper

Outro: (Poetic Lace)
Are you your brother’s keeper?
Are you your brother’s keeper?
Are you your brother’s keeper?
Thou shalt not kill, remember that…
