My brothers got a black and white picture
With number across his chest
He'll do 15 more years if his behavior stays at its best
He took the blame to save his best friends name at a job
That went bad down in Birmingham
Yeah but he don't mind that orange suit
Because he knows the clothes don't make the man
Two sails down from where my brother lays his head
The walls echo Amazing Grace
And quotes of scriptures that man once read
When he prayed upon the little souls of all those boys
That did not understand
That you can wear a robe that's laced with gold
But the clothes don't make the man
Designer names rips and stains shouldn't tell you who I am
Because sometimes angles hide their wings
And the devil's dressed like a lamb
Yeah the clothes don't make the man
They all laughed and called him names
When he said that he was sent to be their King
You don't even own a home you got several clothes
And sandals on your feet
Stripped of his pride he was crucified on a cross
With nails of hatred in his hands
But he rose from the grave in three days
Yeah the clothes don't make the man
Designer names rips and stains shouldn't tell you who I am
Because some times angles hide their wings
And the devils dressed like a lamb
Yeah the clothes don't make the man
Designer names rips and stains shouldn't tell you who I am
Because some times angles hide their wings
And the devils dressed like a lamb
Yeah the clothes don't make the man
Don't make the man they don't make the man
They don't make the man oh yeah
Don't make the man don't make the man yeah
