A small boy walked down a city street
And hope was in his eyes
As he searched the faces of the people he'd meet
Or one he could recognize
Brother, where are you?
They told me that you came this way
Brother, where are you?
They said you came this way
Brother, where are you?
Brother, where are you?
The eyes of the people who passed him by
Were cold and hard as stone
The small boy whimpered and began to cry
Because he was all alone
Brother, where are you?
They told me that you came this way
Brother, where are you?
They said you came this way
Where are you?
Brother, where are you?
Don't you know I need you now
(Boots Rap)
I'm calling out from the top
Of a ten foot pile of knots
They call us cool
If you smile or not
And if you dial the cops
