Family Roots

Uhh, yeah I ain't even got no wisdom right now So imma just smoke on this joint ya dig Yeah, uhh Look Vibe with me I ain't finna call you no hoe, cause I know what you've been through But you shouldn't just let any nigga cum in your temple That pussy sacred, the birth of life, mother nature You need a crib with no neighbors, that mule and that 40 acres I thought you was real, found out you a rat Only the people closest to you can stab you in the back And I don't need no followers, I need people that's gone support it You may not believe in me, but I do and that's most important I thank God everyday that my momma didn't abort me She was only 16 and alone, she couldn't afford me And my pops, he just hit it and quit it, wasn't no sympathy And she could see me the day she lost Her virginity, then left with my grandmother Momma wasn't always there for us But I still love her That goes for me, my lil sisters, and my lil brothers Ain't no father figure around, but shit I got it covered My uncle killed his own stepfather in broad day On broad day, he took a life and threw his own away My other uncle, he been down for like 16 But I can't be no statistic cause I got big dreams, you heard I got lil brothers and sisters who need some on their plate Plus I got a lil daughter and a son on the way And my grandmother sick, I see the stress on her face Cause every time I go outside, it's like I'm catching a case Got me walking in the courts like fuck the D-8 Cuz he don't care about my life He tryna lock me away like I'm just another nigga in the system But I won't play the victim because I knew better and still ain't listened But fuck a 9 to 5, we struggling to survive Working that double shift, so I hustle to stay alive And plus I'm tryna ball like them rappers do So I got a package through when I'm clocking in on the avenue If money wasn't everything, why we cherish it proudly And Wu said,"Cash rules everything around me" I was 18 when they first locked me in that county With no commissary, we was scrapping over brownies But I ain't tryna preach to you, nigga I ain't no reverend Sometimes I wonder if they even let me into heaven Because it's been a minute I had church up on my schedule I'm a man of God, but I've been walking with the Devil for real
