Lyrics Nahko And Medicine For The People – Call Him By His Name
Text:
City sleeps, but not my youngest brother
He’s the first of us, an unexpected father
Laying silent on the apartment
He swears he’ll be a better parent
He won’t crumble or sink into the ocean
He’s filling in to a grown man shoe whether
That he was ready or ever wanted to
So I call him by his name
I say you’re not to blame
I love you just the same
I love you just the same
Yellow light befalls my window
Casting lines upon your shadow
What a selfless, firm foundation
I surpassed past liberation
Bind us by similar karma
Hold me to personal dharma
I will not be taking chances
Holding fast to brittle branches
So I call him by his name
I say you’re not to blame
I love you just the same
I love you just the same
Oh, for man to see
How to treat his queen
To keeping your hands free
To carry all she needs
To be what she perceives
You’ve made yourself out to be
And to call her by her name
To say you’re not to blame
I love you just the same
I love you just the same
I love you just the same
I love you just the same
I love you just the same
I love you, love you, love you just the same
I love you, love you, love you just the same
I love you, love you, love you just the same
I love you just the same
I love you just the same
I love you just the same
