3 Brothers Strong Lyrics

Yo, mama was always gone, out livin' her life,

Dad worked 9 to 5, but we paid the price,

Three boys growin' up, with a father so cold,

He'd hit us when he snapped, but never break the mold.

He didn't beat us down, but the hits left scars,

Emotionally bruised, but we kept goin' far,

He'd yell, he'd punch, but we still stood tall,

Caught in the middle, feelin' like we lost it all.

Momma left us when we needed her the most,

Chasin' her own dreams, but we paid the cost,

She'd come back now and then, but just for a night,

Then disappear again, leaving us in the fight.

We had to survive, with the pain in our veins,

Brothers in the struggle, we learned through the strain,

Dad paid the bills, but he paid us with rage,

He never beat us down, but he put us in a cage.

We kept fightin' back, though the hurt ran deep,

No momma to call, no promises to keep,

Together we stood, though the road was long,

Three brothers strong, we kept pushin' on.

Dad wasn't drunk, but his temper was a storm,

He'd hit when he was angry, leave us feelin' torn,

We'd flinch when he'd raise his hand to speak,

A punch or a slap, but the pain ran deep.

No hugs, no love, no "I'm proud of you,"

Just harsh words, and fists that broke through,

But we never stayed down, we never showed fear,

Three brothers in the fight, holdin' each other near.

Mom would come home, but it didn't feel right,

She'd kiss our foreheads, but she'd disappear at night,

She was gone in the morning, back to her own world,

Left us with him, lost in a swirl.

We had to survive, with the pain in our veins,

Brothers in the struggle, we learned through the strain,

Dad paid the bills, but he paid us with rage,

He never beat us down, but he put us in a cage.

We kept fightin' back, though the hurt ran deep,

No momma to call, no promises to keep,

Together we stood, though the road was long,

Three brothers strong, we kept pushin' on.

We learned to stand tall, even when we were small,

Used to hide the tears, never showin' at all,

Dad's words were sharp, but we held our own,

Fists didn't break us, they just made us grow.

We leaned on each other, three hearts made of stone,

Brothers for life, no one left alone,

The pain didn't define us, we took it and ran,

Stronger than we ever thought we'd be, man.

Now we're grown, still scarred but still strong,

Built from the pain, now we sing our own song,

We raise our kids with the love we never knew,

Show 'em how to stand tall, how to break through.

We broke the cycle, no more fear or doubt,

Dad's anger ain't the way, we figured it out,

He didn't beat us, but he made us tough,

Now we're livin' in love, 'cause we've had enough.

We had to survive, with the pain in our veins,

Brothers in the struggle, we learned through the strain,

Dad paid the bills, but he paid us with rage,

He never beat us down, but he put us in a cage.

We kept fightin' back, though the hurt ran deep,

No momma to call, no promises to keep
