Family Affair

Okay, cool, um, just come forward for me please
Okay, cool stand there
And if you could come and stand right next to him
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
That's perfect
Okay, cool everyone in positions
Now, smile!

Pen game looking all dense
Concrete flows with golden sentences
Now delivered on time
Glide on the riddim and slide
Journey into the mind
Five bills I put aside every month for the savings
Double in time
Looking at the wedding of my life

Spreadsheets in the middle of the
This man who had commitment issues
Is gonna be loving on a woman he's gonna make his wife
Living in happiness with a bride
I don't take that for granted
Walk in straight when slanted
God is my root, stay planted
I got to see my sister celebrate two big wins by the end of the year
That brought more than a tear

For the ones I call my siblings, so damn proud of you
You're bound to move
Into the heights that you never saw coming
Therefore, there's no time to lose
It's a family affair, and it's fair to say you gotta keep them close
Never do ghost, we do the most
Blood be thicker than water, to my bloodline I'm raising a toast
Thanking God, the Dr. and Mum O

It's a family affair
Without the T's and C's
Without the talk, just deeds
With them I get to be me

It's a family affair
Without the T's and C's
Without the talk, just deeds
With them, I get to be me

It's a family affair
Without the T's and C's
Without the talk, just deeds
With them, I get to be me

It's a family affair
Without the T's and C's
Without the talk, just deeds
With them, I get to be me

When those who said they would never ever leave
Tossed me aside
Partly down to my pride, and my actions, I don't deny
I felt dejected and when corrected
They had already said "bye"
Over the spilt milk, I cannot cry
Like that in the blink of an eye
Forgiveness came in with peace of mind

Thank you Jesus!
And everyone who played a featured role and a part in my restoration
That's my family showing patience
EDA, Debra chosen
Debbie A, Dot T
Kemfad, Tolu Tols
Icie, Faith, LK, Sholz

Took me straight to my goal
When my heart was so cold
These are the peeps that I can't wait for you to meet
And will love you in a way that will just make sense in the heat
Of this adulting life that will get hard
La famlia covering scars
Ten percent, but they charge
Car on empty, they gas the bars

Minus Fenty, make up the laughs
Devil tempting, help me to pass
Wait (wait), I'm tired (yo)
Help me complete the task
That's family
They were there when I felt far
That's family
When suicide was still on the cards

It's a family affair
Without the T's and C's
Without the talk, just deeds
With them, I get to be me

It's a family affair
Without the T's and C's
Without the talk, just deeds
With them, I get to be me

It's a family affair
Without the T's and C's
Without the talk, just deeds
With them, I get to be me

It's a family affair
Without the T's and C's
Without the talk, just deeds
With them, I get to be me

Trips, you know we've been discussing this album title
And what you wanted it to be
I personally don't think that you should change it
'Cause that's your spirit, that's what you've been through
With music, we like to sugar coat things

But this is real life that move you dealing with this world
It's powerful bro, you just said it
I want my daughter to hear this
If you're gonna change it, it's cool, but either way you know me
I'm supporting you, I just said it
You're my brother, I love you, and that's what it is
