Family Straight
You know some people used say money change things
Say money change things
Im here to tell you money dont change every motherfucking thing
Change every motherfucking thing
Last ten years momma been working twice a day
Grandma on a kidney machine, she done lost all the weight
My auntie got 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 sixteen, pregnant from a nigga thirty eight
Tryna stay on my son, make sure hes doing what his mama say
Before you take me God help me get my family straight
I asked God why he didnt 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
Im tired of answering my phone and 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 its hurting too
Four times a week gotta get her blood drew
She say the bible prayer is the only thing that get her through
Why my grandma deserve this, God what did she do?
Though just I had cause a lil money I could buy her a new one
She hold the family together shes one I cant lose
Last ten years momma been working twice a day
Grandma on a kidney machine, she done lost all the weight
My auntie got 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 sixteen, pregnant from a nigga thirty eight
my Tryna stay on son, make sure hes doing what mama his say
Before you take me God help me get my family straight
My auntie got AIDS and Im watching her suffer
Why she gotta die cause she was in love with a hustla
Even though shes dying, she says she still loves him
I know see if him I again Ill kill that mothaficka
Only get fifteen 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, gotta be here because I love him
Uncle just called me, found out his daughter fucking
Fucking when they fourteen now like its nothing
the In hood its happening ten out of a dozen
That nigga her daddys age thats fucking my lil cousin
Last ten years momma been working twice a day
Grandma on a kidney machine, she done lost all the weight
My auntie got 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 sixteen, pregnant from a nigga thirty eight
Tryna stay on my son, make sure hes doing what his mama say
Before you take me God help me get my family straight
My daddy damn near fifty still living with his momma
Cant even have a family reunion cause its always drama
Last three months I done lost both of my uncles
Why my family luck so bad I sit and wonder
We aint close like we should and its taking us under
The only time we come together is to have a funeral
Sit around and talk about each other, spread rumors
Know its some of my fault cause I dont talk to em
For my family to be happy is all I wanted
Help my grandma fight God, I know she dont
To see my mama retire thats all I want
Hope my brother get out to see his kids for once
