Family Matters

You've never worn these shoes

Don't mean my New Balance in blue

Raised on pure dysfunction

But sleep I'll never lose

Guess you'll never notice

'Cause I always keep it neat

Got old wounds and fresh ones

But you won't see me bleed

Bitching 'bout problems like they're stuck on your lips

You're so dramatic

I could tell you 'bout me, but you won't understand

Get no caller IDs, it's the police again

No pills to be out, but there's no kids around

Death knocked down my door, walked in unannounced

A line meant two things since I was like five

Starved 'cause his words, but at least I'm alive

It is what it is

You call it traumatic

But it is what it is

It's just family matters

There's times I can't keep focused

'Cause they're all fucking raging

A spliff stops my explosion

Bad habits I'm not facing

At school, weed was my perfume

Then my brother's drugs got harder

It became substance abuse

So he's a stupid bastard

Bitching 'bout problems like they're stuck on your lips

You're so dramatic

I could tell you 'bout me, but you won't understand

Get no caller IDs, it's the police again

No pills to be out, but there's no kids around

Death knocked down my door, walked in unannounced

A line meant two things since I was like five

Starved 'cause his words, but at least I'm alive

It is what it is

You call it traumatic

But it is what it is

It's just family matters

I don't eat, I feed

That's who I am

You take the piss

Baby, I burn

My fire's hot

Yeah, I'm fucked up

But you haven't met my family

So you're in luck

You haven't met my family

Oh

Lucky you haven't met my family

'Cause I'm fucked up

You haven't met
