Family
Man, I miss him
Yeah, yeah me too
Uhm nah, but he was the best though
You ever think about
How we grew up
And how he loved us so much
But your mother
She's our only living parent
And she don't give a fuck less
About what's going on in our life
Yeah
Things were really fucked up
And we had to make our own way
Yeah, and we did
But we had too
Yeah
(Mhm)
Family
Yeah
(Mhm)
Family
Yeah
(Mhm)
Family
(Yeah) (Woah)
Mhm
Family (Uh)
Yeah
Uh
(Woah) Uh
(Mhm) Uh
Family
Yeah
Uh
Yeah
Uh
Look
Family I needed it
Whitey don't want us seeing it
Niggas just keep g-ing it
And bitches just stay pleading it
Hoping for change of heart
Or fast forward to restart
Where shit is just different
God be my witness
This year
I'm going off
I'll be bigger this year
Put it on my niggas
And my hoes
I'm sounding off in your ear
Like a rude mom that screams
Or sister off her routine
Cause we used to being broke
Like a rich white man's joke
No affection in this motherfucker
All we have is the toast
To pain and lost nights
Where glasses break in fights
And doors are slammed shut
And I rather sleep
But can't give up cause I wake
And that's the shit that had a real nigga shake
Cause I could never
OD on life's fruits enough for toothache
Instead I starved on the streets
With no look of relief
Me and Sam carrying the burden
Cause we know 'bout the grief
And emotions be playing victim
Cause love is a thief
I need family
Family
(Woah)
I need family
(Woah)
Family
(Yeah)
And it goes like
Who's gonna save my soul? (Soul)
Who's gonna let me know? (Know)
Who's gonna take me there? (There)
Who's gonna make me care? (Care)
I need family
When I was five
My mom had tears in her eyes
As a man arrived with the gull
That only god would advise
He was short
Sharp grin
Face full of his sins
His demeanor, more leaner
Clothes straight from the cleaners
He was pure
I was unsure
Of the blue in his eyes
Did it lie?
Or give me the transcript on how to survive?
Cause the look of a man's face
Shows the intentions he hides
In the luggage he keeps tucked
Down beneath to his side
That's your father
You're his son
Don't you ever run
And pray you come out better
Than them circumstances you from
Hood shit
Jamaica, Queens
Where leaving the block is a dream
And bringing niggas down the barrel
Is not uncommon to see
Self hate, I can't relate
But still I question my faith
Cause God put us in a maze
Where the bate suffer the fate
That say, "Black kill Black"
But, "White kill Black too"
But, when Black fight back
"Then nigga you to the zoo"
And that's real
My vocab too harsh to conceal
And the reality of it all
Could make the heart beat chill
Like liquor on your lips
When it's submerged in ice
Cause I was raised by the drink
So now the truth my vice
I need family
Family
I need family
Family
(Woah)
And it goes like
Who's gonna save my soul? (Soul)
Who's gonna let me know? (Know)
Who's gonna take me there? (There)
Who's gonna make me care? (Care)
I need family
At 23, I see what love really means
It means having the awareness
To see that life ain't a dream
You gonna hurt
You gonna cry
You gonna wish it all end
And on the day you think you broke
You just might bend
If you're lucky
The silence ducked me
As I woke up from screams
Knocked over tables and chairs
The shits that movies have seen
Rushing to the danger
Not really a plan at my hand
Heart beats, fear greets
And mother raising her hand
One blow
I hate you Lionel
Yes, I hate you to hell
I hate the fact that you exist
The fact you want to rebel
And the judgement of your stares
As if my God ain't right
But how dare you judge a woman
That gave your children life
Another blow
And like snow
He was covered for show
She deepened up her assaults
As he stood in the woes
My fear being the thoughts of him swinging back
But the harder she threw her hands
His arms would retract
And in exact that moment
I begged for a seize
The fire that sparks the heart
Can stain and bleed
And remains of that moment
Left a family exhaust
Ashamed to tell my story
Now I embrace my lost
I need family
Family
(Mhm)(I need)
I need family
(Woah)(Woah)
Family
I need
I need
Cut the beat out
Yeah, yeah me too
Uhm nah, but he was the best though
You ever think about
How we grew up
And how he loved us so much

She's our only living parent
And she don't give a fuck less
About what's going on in our life
