Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, this is for my brothers in the hood and the high rises
On the mansions with the maids
We gotta come together, y'all, come on
Case, Ginuwine, Tyrese and me, RL
Help me sing, fellas, yeah
[Verse 2]
I'm standing here alone (Where)
Tryna face another day (Take your time)
Gotta stay strong
To endure this pain
[Verse 3]
I'm dealing with right now
It flipped my whole life upside down
I don't want your help
I don't need your sympathy, no
[Verse 4]
What can a brother do for me?
(Said, he can help you up when you are down)
What can a brother do for me?
(He can be your eyes when you can't see)
What can a brother do for me?
(He can help me be the best man I can)
I can be (I can be)
Oh, I can be (I can be)
Help me be the best man I can be
[Verse 5]
(Be the best man)
[Verse 6]
I made a big mistake (Yes, I did)
And I'm feeling so ashamed (Yes, I am)
And I don't wanna lose my friendship over it
I've gotta keep the faith, yes I do
[Verse 7]
'Cause I'm still your boy, I've got your back
That ain't never, never, never gonna change
So I can't just cite the truth
And keep smiling in your face
[Verse 8]
What can a brother do for me?
(He can help you up when you are down)
What can a brother do for me?
(He can be your eyes when you can't see)
What can a brother do for me?
(He can help me be the best man I can)
I can be (I can be)
Oh, I can be (I can be)
He can help me be the best man I can be
[Verse 9]
I keep struggling but I'm trying my best
I got some issues with my own confidence
Lord, help me to forgive and forget
Can you please help me to be a better man?
[Verse 10]
For the rest of the darkest nights
Shines the brightest sun
I ain't the man I used to be
I'm better than before
[Verse 11]
What can a brother do for me?
(He can help you up when you are down)
What can a brother do for me?
(He can know the wrong to make it right)
What can a brother do for me?
(He can be your eyes when you can't see)
What can a brother do for me?
(He can help me be the best man I can)
I can be (I can be)
I can be (I can be)
Help me be the best man I can
I can be (I can be)
I see me (I can be)
Help me be the best man I can be
[Verse 12]
I can be (Whoa, I can be)
Oh, I can be (Oh, I can be)
Help me be the best man I can be
[Verse 13]
'Cause he's my brother, brother, brother, brother
(Be the best man)
Oh, my brother, brother, brother, brother
Yes he is my brother, brother, brother, brother
(Be the best man)
[Verse 14]
You see, when I'm down on my luck and
Single, car ain't running, woman done left me
I ain't got nothing and it's cold outside
He'll give me a ride, yeah, when it's late at night
'Cause he's my brother, brother, brother, brother
See, sometimes I might go astray
But he'll lead me back the right way
And tell me everything's okay
'Cause he's my brother, brother, brother, brother
Yes he is
Brother, brother, brother, brother, brother
[Verse 15]
Oh, I know sometimes you'll need me
And I got your back
Oh, 'cause I know you got mine 'cause you're my brother
And I love you, love you, love you, love you
(Be the best man)
You can count on me
Case, Tyrese and G
You are my brother, brother, brother, brother
[Verse 16]
RL, oh, my brother
Laid up at night
If you need a helping hand, he's a brother
Oh, I'm talking 'bout my brothers, brothers, brothers, brothers
All across the world, my brothers, yeah
I love you (Come together, y'all)
