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 shit 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 ass, 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 shit When I was broke, grandma MoneyGram-ed me cash and shit 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 shit 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, "Nigga, 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
