Look at me my brother, (my brother)
And tell me what you see.
Look at you right now and tell me,
Would you early want to be.
A criminal, a daughter or a lawyer,
Or di next U.S president?
A policeman or a shotter or a gardener,
Or di next church excellence?
Just make up your mind and move forward,
Don't live your life in the past.

For all the things that you do.
