When your brother is down, and you have the power to help but choose not to, you become part of the problem. “Brother’s Keeper” calls out selfishness at every level: doctors refusing treatment without police reports, politicians flexing with taxpayer money while civil servants go unpaid, and people turning a blind eye to suffering because it hasn’t reached their doorstep yet.
Falz exposes how we’ve normalized watching others struggle while we protect our own comfort. Everyone claims they’re not responsible until the problem knocks on their own door.

[Verse 1]
While my brother Seyi never chop
E no get reason to shine 32
Me I no get issue
My whole family don belle full
Can't you see
This is proof
Am too selfish to be moved
Don’t you know that am too big to put myself in his shoe
I for tell you the truth
But mi o mo bi ti mo fi si
Shey be emi mo so kpe musulumi odo do ni mi
Born again christian ni mi
Sho mo ye ti mo ti ji
Servant of God dey break law?
Melo lo ti ri
I beat the red light
Carry speed enter
Like person wey get spare life
I no dey send why
I carry tanker enter road
Even when I know
Say the traffic e bad
And any crash
E go explode
Man down
But I can't help. No!
They'll attack me
Na arm-y robber tactics
But wait
Make I snap pics
They brought a man
With a gunshot wound to my clinic
But I go need police report
Before I treat it
[Chorus]
Me I’m not my brother keeper
I no dey send my brother
Cause we no get the same mother
Eh yea
Me I'm not my brother's keeper
I no dey send my brother
We no get the same father
Yea
Na only me come this world
[VERSE 2]
Uh
Na me be your problem
If you no know
Make you check well
I no give you light since
Because I want to sell fuel
And if to say you get light
Then you no go buy generator
I be criminal
I'm the one that you should pay
But you should pray for
I'm so heartless
I'm probably the biggest kind of monster in the whole planet
I dey use taxpayer money to dey flex
I go buy jet
When my people start to kill each other
I go quiet
E no concern me
Crisis never reach my town yet
That one na one aspect
I never pay civil servant salary for a few years
I don't listen to them
Their wives or their children
But you for check my convoy
I just add one new benz
Oh boy I'm so prudent
Pharmacists dey sell some fake drug
I no send if people die
As long as I dey make buck
You start from a young age
Poor girls
I’m about to turn them into sex slaves
And then get paid
[Chorus]
Me I’m not my brother keeper
I no dey send my brother
Cause we no get the same mother
Eh yea
Me I'm not my brother’s keeper
I no dey send my brother
We no get the same father
Yea
Na only me come this world
[Outro]
Why you no be your brother's keeper?
Why you no dey send your brother?
God na everybody father
You should be your brother's keeper
Abeg send your brother
God na everybody father
No be only you dey this world oh oh
Hmm hmm
No be only you dey this world
