My cousin and me have the same last name But we don't look the same He's taller than me My cousin and me, we both love to play the game That our dads loved to play They're brothers, you see My cousin and me have the same last name But we don't look the same at all My cousin and me have the same kind heart Just please don't start any trouble with us My cousin and me have the same wild emotions That flow wilder than the ocean Anytime you cause a fuss My cousin and me have the same kind heart But we don't look the same at all And we don't look the same because our skins are different colors Even though our dads are brother We both look like our mothers Neither one of us can know What it's like to be the other But we're peeling back the cover My cousin and me My cousin and me have the same grandparents The best grandparents in the world for all I know And those same grandparents, they grew up in a holler Both their families were farmers, as far back as you can go Just south of Kentucky Considered themselves lucky To have food on the table from the land that they owned And remembering the '60's They fully solved the mystery That evening in '01 when my cousin was born And that same kind heart, we both got from our grandmother And we both laughed till it hurt at our grandpa when he cussed We're 16 years apart, but they showed the same love The same blind love for my cousin & me I've only got one first cousin I'll probably never have another And that's alright with me He's half black, and I am white So it's my job to fight To break the mold of the silence that white people tend to keep To learn all that I can, how to best extend my hand To sing as loud as I can stand about the power of love The same love that is alive in my grandmother's eyes The same love whether she's looking at my cousin or me My cousin and me, we're standing here together Both trying to get better at listening Keep on peeling back the cover Of yourself and all your brothers and your sisters Keep marching till we're where we need to be
