FamilyFirst

Gotta smoke before I go to sleep
If I don't I dream someone tryna murder me
Or a loved one gone now it's hurting me
Now I struggle with figuring out reality
I try to stay in touch with people I love the most
I try to talk to God that's my Heavenly Host
I try to duck facades fake niggas do the most
Sometimes I try to go ghost
Let me vent
My uncle stay up off the liq
I think he play with his nose that shit got me sick
Remember he threw me bows and try to front me bricks
But I was cool off that shit
Let me vent
My cousin used to hit licks the judge gave him 10
Free him
We chopped it up we catching up gaining lost time
I just pray iont see him on Fox five
My other cousin died made my granny cry
My granny died now I'm losing family ties
Back then man the family stayed tied
Now it's nothing but distance I'm feeling like it's all lies
It's somn I'm tripping I'm feeling like y'all all high
Put that pride to the side
It's supposed to be family first
But it's fucked up family do a nigga the worst

Result of severed family ties
Look what happens when the family fights
Where were you when the family cried?
You gotta keep the family first or else the family dies
& that'll do you the worst
I see you distant, ambitious
That's a gift and a curse
But see you give the cold shoulder, it make ya heart frozen
Then lose the fam ya born with & the fam you've chosen

Maybe I'm the problem
Cause soon as I gotta problem I be like fuck it
Yea I know this shit a process x I gotta trust it
I prolly should be dead so a nigga love it
I haven't talked to my cousin in bout seven years
We fell out he got jammed up I had a kid
We been thru it all man that used to be my dawg but it is what it is
I hope he get everything from this life that we live
I hope he flee the strife in this shit
I ain't got no patience prolly could have conversations
But my back got the knife in its shit
Yea that's how it is
Man that shit hurts
It's posed to be family first
But it's fucked up family do a nigga the worst
Yea it's fucked up when the family hurts
Unc was just in good health how he end in a hearse?
Time be moving too fast
Gotta make time never know when it's gone be your last
Man that shit crazy
Believe that shit hurts
It's supposed to be family first
That's why a nigga wrote this verse

Result of severed family ties
Look what happens when the family fights
Where were you when the family cried?
You gotta keep the family first or else the family dies
& that'll do you the worst
I see you distant, ambitious
That's a gift and a curse
But see you give the cold shoulder, it make ya heart frozen
Then lose the fam ya born with & the fam you've chosen
