call him by his name
Singer:nahko and medicine for the people
but not my youngest brother
laying silent on the apartment
he swears he'll be a better parent
in a mother's loose foundation
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
yellow light befalls my window
casting lines upon your shadow
i surpassed past liberation
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
to keeping your hands free
you've made yourself out to be
and to call her by her name
to say you're not to blame
