This was originally a motown song about a girl, then it turned into a political song with a hip-hop twist at the end. This is the first thing I ever wrote on piano. I love Jeniffer Love Hewitt.

Story behind the song
I bought a Roland keyboard cause I wanted to write some piano songs. Took it home and wrote this song prolly that same night, it was the first song I wrote on piano. Very very simple song but it's done pretty well and I'm really happy with the lyrics.
Lyrics
No brotha, no brotha, brotha no Look at the life of yesterday, look at the love we used to have You used to mean so much to me, America we were meant to be But lately you've been so mean and cold, all of the things we had you sold Baby I don't want diamond rings, I want you to cry "Let Freedom ring!" America, sometimes I don't think you love me anymore, and you're such a whore Stop this fight, you know it's not right to kill your brotha man, give peace a chance. But you say... No brotha, no brotha, brotha no Oooh, and for starters, don't build borders, don't take orders, from your President or your Congressman oh baby Oooh, and for starters, don't build borders. No brotha, no brotha, brotha no. And for starters, don't build borders, don't take orders, from ya President or ya Congressman Fuck a masterplan and a weapons ban, fuck the Klu Klux Klan TWICE, specially if ya nice Feed ya mind don't become no villain, stop killin Take the good with the bad, especially when you sad Listen to ya Dads and ya Moms, don't drop bombs, fuck a Karl Rove and a Donald Rumsfeld Hell, sometimes I feel compelled, to be with the deceased I ain't scared in the least, we got brothas dyin daily in the Middle East, someday we'll all live in love and peace and be released But if the government try to put a gun up in my hand so I can run up in the land of another brotha man on his own soil, just for oil? Fuck that bitch, I ain't dyin in yo motherfuckin war I'm sayin... No brotha, no brotha, brotha no Oooh, and for starters, don't build borders, don't take orders, from your President or your Congressman oh baby Oooh, and for starters, don't build borders. No brotha, no brotha, brotha no (Oooh yeah, the shit's goin down in this country now motherfuckas...feels like the only right we got left is the right to be silent. It's time to take back the streets, take back the beats, take back the peace. Restore love and freedom to this great nation. Peace!)
