Call Him By His Name Lyrics - Nahko

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 

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 

I love you just the same 

I love you just the same

From MetroLyrics to You: Our Classic Christmas Playlist 

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
