Family Straight |
| I know some people used to say money change thangs |
| (They say money change thangs) Pssh |
| I’m hear to tell you money don’t change every motherfuckin thang |
| (Change every motherfuckin thang) |
| Last ten years momma been workin twice a day |
| Grandma on a kidney machine, she done lost all the weight |
| My auntie got AIDS, she startin to lose her faith |
| My brother back in prison, second time he gone away |
| My daddy still smokin thatat shit I can see it in his face |
| My cousin sixteen, pregnant from a nigga thirty-eight |
| Tryin stay on my son, make sure he doin what his momma say |
| Before you take me God, help me get my family straight |
| I asked God why he ain’t bless me with a silver spoon |
| Cause if he did then I’da never had to be a goon |
| If he gon' change my family, I hope he change it soon |
| I’m tired of answerin my phone and hearin bad news |
| My grandma on a walker, she can barely move |
| Just to tell me she love me take all her breath to do |
| She on a kidney machine, I know it’s hurtin her too |
| Fo' times a week gotta get her blood drew |
| She say the bible and prayer only thang that get her through |
| Why my grandma deserve this, God what did she do? |
| Thought cause I had a lil money kidney I could buy her new |
| She hold the family together, she the one I can’t loose |
| My auntie got AIDS and I’m watchin her suffer |
| Why she gotta die cause she was in love with a hustler? |
| Even though she dyin she say she still love him |
| Know if I see him again I’d kill that motherfucker |
| Only get fifteen minutes to talk to my brother |
| Cause he in prison gotta go see him if I wanna hug him |
| Some niggas willin to lose they freedom just for thuggin |
| Cause he made a mistake gotta be here cause I love him |
| Uncle just called me, found out his daughter fuckin |
| Fuckin when they get fourteen now like its nothin |
| In the hood it’s happenin ten out a dozen |
| The nigga her daddy age that’s fuckin my lil' cousin |
| My daddy damn near fifty still livin with his momma |
| Can’t even have a family reunion cause it’s always drama |
| Last three months I done lost both of my uncles |
| Why my family luck so bad? |
| I sit and wonder |
| We ain’t close like we should and it’s taken us under |
| The only time we come together is to have a funeral |
| Sit around and talk about each other and spread rumors |
| Know it’s some of my fault cause I don’t talk to 'em |
| For my family to be happy, that’s all I want |
| Help my grandma fight, God I know she don’t |
| To see my momma retire, that’s all I want |
| Hope my brother get out to see his kids for once |
