Family Politics

Me and my cousin don't get along
We used to fight all the time and I swear she would get annoyed
One time I had my hand around her throat
I was paranoid
Now that she ain't living with us
Man there's a hella void
Never thought of taking a single life
Hope that she I understands
One time I tried to take my own
But froze like maniquin
I'm tryna be a better man
Never blamed it on family politics
Momma blamed it on her
Said she started it
And it's obvious it wasn't true
But it was clear to me
She had a clue
I got issues
Like really, was tired of you
On the other hand I'm loving you
I heard you got a son now,
You my sister shit I'm proud of you
Never ever doubted you
You had your flaws, and I mean nobody's perfect
For as second,
You the reason why I started rapping
I was hurt when
Family members used to call you "serpent"
Some of these things I can't even talk to you in person, nah

You probably think that I don't care for you and
I'm probably gone save myself
But to be honest I don't bout you, and I don't know no one else

Yeah I put it in a song
It's like open letter
We couldn't think much of our lives when were together
It was therapeutic
We were sharing music
Even better
I like the fact that
You're me when I look in the mirror
My greatest reflection
You the mixture of my headache and asperin
Day I found that you smoke
I had a crazy reaction
But I understood it
You tryna escape reality
You probably think I listen to people
And now you mad at me
I get it, I really do
I feel what you feeling too
Cause you're more human
When I look the inner you
Aunty would be proud of what she created
Like Maya Angelou
You still rise when you degraded
You probably had a bad day(birthday)
Should be happy belated
I wanna keep it real to you
I swear that you my favourite
Sincerely yours truly
It's a letter that wrote
Say it on a song, so you know that it's a oath

You probably think that I don't care for you and
I'm probably gone save myself
But to be honest I don't bout you, and I don't know no one else
