Family |
Now I ain’t never been a model citizen or son |
And that’s why I ain’t expecting the Lord to give me one |
And I ain’t proud, I broke a lot of hearts, had plenty fun |
Been acting reckless, been running round here with the midi scum |
Don’t be ridiculous I know I gotta catch the karma |
And I can lie and say I changed it when I have my daughter |
It took a couple years for me to see that my persona |
Was nothing but a web of lies, I’m high on my dishonor |
The realest men I knew in life I met when I was three |
All biological is gone so I should let it be |
I guess I probably could’ve met 'em as a youth but I |
I never got the chance, two committed suicide |
And I ain’t telling you about it for the sympathy |
The simple fact is that he probably wasn’t meant for me |
Let me rephrase it yo, it probably wasn’t meant for me |
It’s just my story, man, it’s all a part of history |
I guess my chronicles done made me be the man I am |
I guess that’s why I’m such a sucker for the familam |
I guess that’s why I treat my friends like I got 20 brothers |
I guess it’s all about the family that’s why they love us |
If you ride it though you can lose your way |
Better catch the pieces if you break |
We had our ups and downs, but we’ll be okay |
What more can I say? |
We’re family, family |
If you ride it though you can lose your way |
Better catch the pieces if you break |
We had our ups and downs, but we’ll be okay |
What more can I say? |
We’re family, family, family |
My mother climbed the corporate ladder from the city streets |
And to be honest, being black this year is real unique |
So I don’t hear you when you say you can’t get out the hood |
I hate explaining anything that should be understood |
I finally did a song with someone that I’ve idolized |
Since I was little, count your blessings, that’s what I’d advise |
And now I finally feel it in me as if I’ve arrived |
They tell me I’m the second coming because I’ve got his eyes |
They used to call him Black Sinatra, they just call me Swanky |
I’m drifting to another place, I let the music take me |
At times, what makes you grow a little is a rude awakening |
I keep the family close cause they don’t be the ones that’s faking |
Don’t ever go against us |
So many vultures missed us |
The slander and abuse |
The truth, it made us vicious |
Be careful who you lettin' sit up at the table with ya |
And I been rocking with my people since them baby pictures |
I guess my chronicles done made me be the man I am |
I guess that’s why I’m such a sucker for the familam |
I guess that’s why I treat my friends like I got 20 brothers |
I guess it’s all about the family that’s why they love us |
If you ride it though you can lose your way |
Better catch the pieces if you break |
We had our ups and downs, but we’ll be okay |
What more can I say? |
We’re family, family |
If you ride it though you can lose your way |
Better catch the pieces if you break |
We had our ups and downs, but we’ll be okay |
What more can I say? |
We’re family, family, family |
We’re family, family, family |
We’re family, family, family |
