Brutha tried to nod, and thought: I’m on everyone’s side. It’d be nice if, just for once, someone was on mine.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Brutha, trying to nod, reflects that he sides with everyone else. He wishes that, even once, someone would take his side in return. The thought carries quiet self-pity and loneliness: his loyalty flows outward, while support for him seems absent.
