Family Straight lyrics
(Intro)
You know some people used say money change things.
I'm here to tell you money don't change every motherf**king thing.
(Chrous)
Last ten years momma been working twice a day.
Grandma on a kidney machine, she done lost all the weight.
My auntie go AIDS, she starting to lose her faith.
My brother back in prison, second time he gone away.
My daddy still smoking that shit I can see it in his face.
My lil' cousin 16 pregnant from a nigga 38.
Tryna stay on my son, make sure he's doing what his mama say.
Before you take me god, help me get my family straight.
(Verse 1)
I asked god why he didn't bless me with a silver spoon.
Cause if he did, I would never have had to be a goon.
If he gone change my family, I hope he change em soon.
I'm tired of answering my phone, hearing 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 know it's hurting too.
4 times a week gotta get her blood drew.
She say the bible and a prayer is the only thing that get her through.
Why my grandma deserve this, god what did she do?
Though just cause I had a lil' money I could buy her a new one.
She hold the family together she's one I can't lose
(Chorus)
Last ten years momma been working twice a day.
Grandma on a kidney machine, she done lost all the weight.
My auntie go AIDS, she starting to lose her faith.
My brother back in prison, second time he gone away.
My daddy still smoking that shit I can see it in his face.
My lil' cousin 16 pregnant from a nigga 38.
Tryna stay on my son, make sure he's doing what his mama say.
Before you take me god, help me get my family straight.
(Verse 2)
My auntie got AIDS and I'm watching her suffer.
Why she gotta die cause she was in love with a hustla.
Even though she's dying, she say's she still loves him.
I know if I see him again, I'll kill that mothaf**ka.
Only get 15 minutes to talk to my brother, cause he in prison gotta go see him if I wanna hug him.
Some niggas willing to lose their freedom just for thuggin.
Cause he made a mistake I gotta be here because I love him.
My uncle just called me, found out his daughter f**king, f**king when they 14 like it's nothing.
In the hood it's happening 1
