I've got a lot that's on my mind today
But every man got a story to tell
My brother watched his life go down the drain
His addiction took control of him
Everytime I see my brother look at me
I turn my head cause to me he's dead
Everything in this world ain't really what it seems
But I know I gotta go on again

So much pressure so much pain
Everything to lose and nothing to gain
But I'm going on again
It's everything that he ever dreamed
Says things he doesn't mean
But I'm going strong again

Please, my mother, don't cry today
I know it's hard cause he's your first born son
Don't blame yourself for the decisions made
I think it's time that we just let him go

So much pressure so much pain
Everything to lose and nothing to gain
But I'm going on again
It's everything that he ever dreamed
Says things he doesn't mean
But I'm going strong again
