Family Matters (feat. Arin Ray)

Uh I got an auntie who be raisin' her daughter's kids

She's 46 one is 1 one is 2 others 4 and 6

Baby dad ain't really with that supportive sst

I come to town iced out with the foreign drip

I got another cousin she the same age as me

Our lifestyles completely different and basically

Her baby dad beat her a*s what I hate to see

Her black eye as I cried it's a daily thing uh

And here I am chasin' dreams

Ignorant with bliss worryin' 'bout plays and streams

The crazy part is they don't even say a thing

They don't want me to worry just go and make the cream

I got an aunt with a cheatin' husband always knew he bogus

Used to wear turtlenecks and some Louis loafers

Comin' home to family struggles got me losin' focus

I don't know how else to deal so it's too late now

I got a brother out there who like 5 years old

I don't know why daddy tried to hide your soul

No blood test needed 'cause it just might be

Seen the picture lil' man lookin' just like me

It be the ones that's closest

That go through the motions

Maybe it's me that's been selfish

Don't know why I can't help it

And it's been hard for me

To see what you been goin' through it's tirin'

'Cause you've been sufferin' you've been sufferin'

No more sufferin' in silence

And they don't even ask for **

When I was broke grandma MoneyGram-ed me cash and **

And she wasn't even the one that was havin' it

Family be matterin' most but as a catalyst

I got another cousin buggin' who addicted to Xans

Said it was her substitute for never gettin' a man

Said we all need love only if it's in the plan

Forced love the worst love throw that **in the can

I got an auntie who a prostitute it hurt my soul

Promise you sellin' your body ain't worth that gold

Reverse that role you don't gotta swerve that road

Searching for the answers I don't wanna search that low

'Cause I done been through a lot my family goes through worse

Cryin' on this airplane how I wrote this verse

They be sufferin' in silence they don't tell me a thing

All they tell me is n***a go excel in your dreams

Yeah it be the ones that's closest

That go through the motions

Maybe it's me that's been selfish

Don't know why I can't help it

And it's been hard for me

To see what you been goin' through it's tirin'

'Cause you've been sufferin' been sufferin'

No more sufferin' in silence

It be the ones that's closest

That go through the motions

Maybe it's me that's been selfish

Don't know why I can't help it

And it's been hard for me

To see what you been goin' through it's tirin'

You've been sufferin' been sufferin'

No more sufferin' in silence
