Family Straight

I know sum people that say money change thangs

I'm hear to tell you money don't change every muthafuckin thing

Refrão:

Last ten years momma been workin' twice a day

Grandma on a kidney machine, she done lost all the weight

My aunty got AIDS, she startin' to lose her faith

My brutha back in prison, second time he gone away

My daddy still smokin' dat shit I can see it in his face

My cousin 16 pregnant from a nigga 38

Tryna stay on my son, make sure he doin what his mama say

Before ya take me God, help me get my family straight

I asked God why he didn't bless me with a silver spoon

Cause if he did I'd never have to be a goon

If he gon' change my family, I hope he change it soon

I'm tired of answerin' my phone hearin' bad news

My grandma on a walker she can barely move

Just to tell me she love me take all her breath to do

She on a kidney machine I kno it's hurtin' her 2

Four times a week gotta get her blood drew

She say the bible and prayer the only thing that get her through

Why my grandma deserve this, god what did she do?

Thought caus' I had a lil money I could buy her a new

She hold the family together, she one I cant loose

Refrão

My aunty got AIDS and I'm watchin her suffer

Why she gotta die caus' she was in love with a hustler

Even tho she's dying she say she still love him

I kno if I see him again I'll kill dat muthafucker

Only get 15 minutes to talk to my brutha

Cause he in prison gotta go see him if I wanna hug him

Sum niggas willin to loose their freedom just for thuggin

Caus' he made a mistake gotta be here caus' I love him

Uncle just called me found out his daughter fuckin,

fuckin when they get 14 now like its nothing

In da hood it's happenin' 10 out of a dozen

Dat nigga her daddy age dat is fuckin my lil cousin

Refrão

My daddy damn near 50 still livin' with his momma

Can't even have a family reunion caus' it's always drama

Last three months I dun lost both of my uncles

Why my family luck so bad, I sit and wonder

We ain't close like we should and its taken us under

The only time we come together is to have a funeral

Sit around and talk about each other and spread rumors

Know it's some of my fault caus' I don't talk to 'em

For my family to be happy, that's all I want

Help my grandma fight, god I know she don't

To see my mama retire, that's all I want

Hope my brutha get out to see his kids for once.
