Kanye West is back with some new music. The new Kanye track, which features Charlie Wilson, is titled “Brothers” and is part of the soundtrack for the BET series Tales — which had its season 2 premiere on Tuesday, July 2.
The track brings back vibes from the Graduation era which is something Kanye fans have long been asking for.
The track is produced by Irv Gotti and Murder Inc’s Seven.
“Producing this new record with my production partner Seven and working with Kanye for a song exclusively for the Tales series has been one of the highlights of my music and TV career,” Irv Gotti said, via Complex. “I did it for my Hip Hop Culture. I wanted to give the fans something to listen to and enjoy as well as visually enjoy, and ‘Brothers,’ the song in conjunction with this global TV premiere is precisely that moment.”
You can listen to the new track and check out the lyrics below.
Kanye West – ‘Brothers (feat. Charlie Wilson)’ Audio & Lyrics
[Intro]
So please raise a glass, for Mr. and Mrs. Paul Krayman (Yeah)
I learned a lot from Jimmy
He always said, “Enjoy every day of your life as if it were your first”
I learned a lot from Malcolm
He said, “Enjoy every day as if it were your last”
Okay, let’s get this party started
I got this brand new Kanye West, “Brothers”
Brothers forever
[Verse 1: Kanye West & Charlie Wilson]
You should’ve listened dawg, when your baby was born
Should have shouted you out, dedicated a song (Oh, oh)
I can say I was wrong, I can take the blame
‘Cause brothers don’t always have to share the same name (Oh, oh)
We met when we was young, I forgot the grade
When last one in the race was a rotten egg
Since then I done good and rotten things (Brothers forever)
So I could tell you one thing (Brothers forever)
As soon as I cut the grass low
It’s easier to see the assholes
So I’m sorry for all the miscues
How about I admit that I miss you
I miss the fam and our brotherhood
I just wanna make sure that my brother’s good
So I ain’t embarrassed or above (Eh, eh)
Flying out to Paris for a hug
Or picking up the phone just to call up (Ooh)
Picking up the phone hope it’s all love
‘Cause Jesus taught us love so did Moses and Mohammed
So nothing so atomic that we can’t agree to drop it, drop it
Peace it up and get it poppin’
And bury the hatchet so we can lock in (Brothers forever)
[Chorus: Charlie Wilson & Kanye West]
While you still hanging on the line
We’ll be brothers forever (Woo)
What happens to one of us happens to us together
And we’ll be brothers forever (We’ll be) brothers forever
We’ll be (We’ll be) brothers forever, forever
[Outro: Sample 2]
But this man right here, I learned the most
He says, “Enjoy both, babe”
That way, you never miss a damn thing
