Nuclear Family

They treat me like a stranger tho we sharing blood
Similar faces connections faded I had enough
Don't let your anger be your anchor babe you living stuck
Hatred limits us we can't let this finish us
Simpler times we play outside til we saw the stars
Spades games monkey bars shaped fades now we lost
Everything we built together now is getting tossed
No invite don't you get involved they barbecue with Molotovs

Family reunions start to resemble massacres
Know they got the beauty marks, but they just battle scars
Even seen favorite cousins end up at odds
Heard mad hatter stories, glad they never ours
Think I came into this world with a Kevlar vest
A.K shoulder strap, sling on the chest
Protecting who I love, got a frag for the rest
Who'da known a knife to the trachea hits best from those close

I just Morph adjust, glasses on like I'm Morpheus
See it from my view, God evolved me from morsel dust
Serve it up for dinner cuz we got a portion trust
Family on a battlefield, who want war with us?
No longer can look you in your iris's, got greedy now you know what the itis is
And we was starving so come look me in my eye again, evil world we living in like that's what Titus said
Icarus flying up to mount Vesuvius, burn me up and now I'm feeling like I'm orphan ash
Tryna stay warm you burning up the cash, dissonance in your notes seem like we just crash
Checking for your heartbeat but it's stillborn, almost hurt the dreams but they was still born
And some people called my people acting like they gonna steal off, now I know who we got that steel on
And I love you, I'd protect you even though you did me flagrant, often questioning all your mindless behavior
And you don't know that I know, you was acting real shady, last time I seen you, you even called me baby
