Family Matters (feat. Arin Ray)

Uh, I got an auntie who be raisin' her daughters kids, she's forty-six

One is one, one is two, other's four and six

Baby dad ain't really with that supportive shit

I come to town iced-out with the foreign drip

I got another cousin she the same age as me

Her lifestyle's completely different and basically

Her baby dad beat her ass, what I hate to see

Her black eye as I cry, 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 that 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 truly noted

I got a brother out there who like five years old

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

No blood test needed 'cause it just might be

Seen a picture of little man looking just like me

It be the ones that's closest

That go through the most shit

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 shit

When I was broke, grandma MoneyGram me cash and shit

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

Family be matterin' most but is 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 shit in a can

I got a auntie who a prositute, that hurt my soul

Promise you sellin' yo' 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, "****, go excel in your dreams"

It be the ones that's closest

That go through the most shit

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 most shit

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
