Blood Brothers

Blood Brothers.

 

We are brothers.

By blood.

We grew up.

In the same hood.

We ran with.

Different gangs.

We fought to.

The bitter end.

 

Making deals too.

Get our thrills.

Tattoo our faces.

To number our kills.

Under the shadow.

Off the gun.

We revenged what.

We thought was wrong.

 

Our paths crossed.

Nailed our colours.

To the mast.

We live for now.

And not the past.

My gang family.

Ensure you remain.

The enemy.

 

As we are.

Put in the ground.

Our gang family.

Looking down.

We realise we are.

Being buried with

The enemy.

We have been reunited.

With our family.
