First statement, let me say a fact that boils me

These days it's just a tattoo that means loyalty

Then every cat that raps is claiming royalties

And I don't mean to spoil thee

Go run my fucking name across the soil, G

So go and try to wear it out

You were plotting my whereabouts

But I don't have no care or doubts

I'm heartless 'cause my mother went and teared it out

The same genes as her

Guess I have to lean to wear it now

You sit me in a chair, no rest

I had to let it stare me down

My brothers gave me hand-me-downs

We never had no hand-me-ups

The siblings we would care about

The family shit, I wear it out

It's family over anything

You'd learned to be my medicine

But really ain't the remedy

We barely had the energy

The souls bond, our chemistry

When two become an enemy

You made me see the mess in me

This thing'd never let me be

The thought takes the breath of me

I think about my kids and their genes

And what's their destiny

And how I want the best for these kids

And how its legacy be far from mine

And far from wine, yeah, and far from crime

Even if it meant I had to go on half my life

And even go back to then and relive half those nights

Swear take half my sight

Swear this was hard to write

See, I'm just glad that we past that life

We passed it right

Them charts we drived

Back when Juston was like half my size

We basket case, we have past advice

I guess our father's are what you see when you look at us

You look at us and see us as some crooked scunts

Of course, that went and shook us up

I felt like we ain't do enough

I know you seen some screwed-up stuff

Why you think we chewed it up like venom when you spewed it up?

Like, damn, we've been through this stuff

Like why the fuck you choosing out your anger

And your temperament when you're boozing up?

That's truthful, this is relevant

So I'm throwing shit like excrement

It's bestial 'cause it's built up

And it's pressed against my chest again

It hurts but then it festers in my burns up in your flesh again

I hate to hate a next-of-kin

Can't stay up in that nest again

I know you're feeling stressed again

You're family, we ain't texting them

Till one is laid to rest again

So giving you my blessing then
