Family (feat. Amanda Black & P-Jay)

Yeah

This time has not had me on the phone

The time that I was just dreaming about

The golden days

Now what you know about

Having your mommy and daddy sleeping on separate beds

And have it going for like 3 or 4 years

They ain't talking to one another not even a stare

I had to look at my lil brother go through with it in tears

Now picture

A father is dedicated to sit in that lazy

In the living room eating and sleeping all day crazy

No job, no shame, more pride

This motherfucker couldn't even go outside

Instead he told more lies

Look you dead in the eyes

And tell you "Son just appreciate that am still alive"

Never brought you no clothes

Don't even know your shoe size

If this music thing works

I hope you show me some thousands

Picture, a mother that is dedicated to working double shifts

Who does any and every thing for her three kids

Broke every three weeks before the month ends

Making ends meet either way over some cheap shit

I was just a young child and I was supposed to pick a side

I talked to God and wait on him for a reply now

If that is how a family is supposed to be

Then I guess the one I have is good for me

The life don't change

I'm not the same no

Never gonna worry no more

No more, no more, no more

Been through pain

And other things that

I can't sing on this song

Ndiyabulela und'gcine kwabalana

Und'gcine kwabala

Ndiyabulela und'gcine kwabalana

Und'gcine kwabala

I hope you know I know you ain't perfect

You know I wear my heart on the surface

Through your fuck ups I finally found my purpose

And now my pops now I know I done earned it

I grew up, then I got clued up I understand

You screwed up, then moved up wasn't part of the plan

You was barely a man, wasn't ready for fam

Man, sweaty hands grippin the sonagram

And how low so you could have been just a photograph

Nightmares and no dreams to wake up to

Ey what happened pops I heard the streets loves you?

Little Bros and me

So who do I look up to ****

Yeah, I let bygones be

'Cause what I wish for you is just twice on me

'Cause any day life could roll the dice on me

But I'm tired to seeing the fams teary eyes on me, ****

Ey, mama I'm sorry he wasn't right for you

I bet he tried it was just not the life for you

Ey, Little K I promise we gonn' make it right for you

I pray me and Reece make it Paradise for you

The life don't change

I'm not the same no

Never gonna worry no more

No more, no more, no more

Been through pain

And other things that

I can't sing on this song

Ndiyabulela und'gcine kwabalana

Und'gcine kwabala

Ndiyabulela und'gcine kwabalana

Und'gcine kwabala

It made me wonder if this is how God wants it to be

Is there a lesson behind it?

Is this how we gonna' teach?

What's the reason I feel like I didn't need this but I did

'Cause, know exactly how to not raise my kids

Now I know exactly how to treat a wife

Let alone a woman who can make a sacrifice

And make your life a Paradise

Heaven heights

Beacuse of you I started hating life

I hated how you thought you're always right

Growing up I realized that I've became more of a man than you

Did what I had to do for the family became responsible

When I was only 16

Carried the world on my shoulders

The only way to make dough was through world of 16's

But now it's 2016 and life is better

I moved on I was told anger don't change the weather

I forgave you with my heart I'm at peace

You finally got a job pops you working that's key

I heard you play your part now that's what she told me

I'm guessing God answered all the prayers that's deep

Yeah, and that is how a family is supposed to be

Now it feels like a family to keep

The life don't change

I'm not the same no

Never gonna worry no more

No more, no more, no more

Been through pain

And other things that

I can't sing on this song

Ndiyabulela und'gcine kwabalana

Und'gcine kwabala

Ndiyabulela und'gcine kwabalana

Und'gcine kwabala
