SHADOWS OF BROTHERHOOD written by Sheldon Manoo for DAMN GOOD MC’S (1992)


DGM we met up back in high school
Our school mates said we were fools
But we have a dream that must come through
And everybody’s in it even you
We don’t really want riches, the fame is alright
We just want to make it, better days and nights
We went through pain and sorrow
Heartbreaks, headaches and humiliation
But it’s always The Lord’s Way we’ll follow
And someday get our salvation
We listened to the music, we cried for certain songs
We fell in love and lose it, we had aspirations fall down
We had internal fights with ourselves
We’ve been places no one will ever see
We’ve packed problems after problems on the shelves
We’re full of fun, truth and fantasy
The Good Lord is the leader of this band
He guide us through what we don’t understand
We know we were brought together by destiny
And hey wonderful world get ready
We’re brothers in the real sense of the word
We’re shadows of the better world
We’re shadows of brotherhood
Oh yeah!

Shadows of the good life
Brothers who don’t quit the fight
Mirrors reflect all our good
Shadows of brotherhood
Brothers standing up for the good
Shadows of brotherhood

It started back in HCC
With Mr Aguillera Ice V
MC Tweeg, Mr McGregor
There was another change after
David’s the last in, with his understanding he quickly fit in right
Shinning through sun or moon, determined not to internally fight
Richard’s the youngest, sensitive and can always put a smile on a face
Burman’s cool, enthusiastic, always ready to win a race
Nimrod’s the short one, willpower strong, never let anyone go wrong
Phillips much the same, can play to any game and the Godfather of this song
And I’m Sheldon, also an intelligent one, music and love keeps me going
And with God’s help DGM will keep flowing
Always doing the good
We’re shadows of brotherhood!
