Lyrics
I got family first
And if anyone in family hurt
Somebody takes a nap
In the dirt
Mm that's how this
Family works, mmm
That's how this family works
I got family first
And if anyone in family hurt
Somebody takes a nap
In the dirt
Mm that's how this
Family works, yeah
That's how this family works
My family, only people
Who can handle me
Only ones I be standing with
For the better and the worse
It's a blessing and a curse
But trust these words
Whoever trying to hurt
Go'n' sleep in the dirt
This for my brothers and my sisters
We trending like we hipsters
Rewrite history, toast 'till we tipsy
Smoking on the family tree
Wanna hit this?
Living in the moment can't re-live it
I'm black & white
But my dna worldwide
And i won't hide
I would rather die
Than not walk with pride
No disguise this is me in real life
I got family first
And if anyone in family hurt
Somebody takes a nap
In the dirt
Mm that's how this
Family works, Mmm
That's how this family works
I got family first
And if anyone in family hurt
Somebody takes a nap
In the dirt
Mm that's how this
Family works, yeah
That's how this family works
My brothers my brothers
Like my momma kids
My sisters my sisters like
My siblings
Through thick and thin
Call that resilience
These circumstances
Produce some geniuses
Not a given, but gifted
Love, not business
Bloodline from the continent
Where the pyramids is
West African griots
Musicians, way before radios
Inherit generational wealth
Traditions and a knowledge of self
Pass it down to the crop of my seed
We all we got for the Family we bleed
And we all know it
Pray we don't have to show it
You already know this
Pray that we don't have to show it
I got family first
And if anyone in family hurt
Somebody takes a nap
In the dirt
Mm that's how this
Family works, mmm
That's how this family works
I got family first
And if anyone in family hurt
Somebody takes a nap
In the dirt
Mm that's how this
Family works, yeah
That's how this family works
I ain't judging no one else
But im proud of who I am
My heritage ain't playing
A viking with nigerian hair
And ain't afraid to show it
In any damn way, any damn way
When i was little it was different
Man it used to be no picnic
We had no lights ended up evicted
Bedbugs and roaches in the kitchen
I could've got addicted
To the same shit that got
My brother convicted
I'm gifted like my pops
But feel blacklisted
Even though we spread out
Over the globe
I hope you all know
The bond still holds
Stronger than ever before
I got family first
And if anyone in family hurt
Somebody takes a nap
In the dirt
Mm that's how this
Family works, mmm
That's how this family works
I got family first
And if anyone in family hurt
Somebody takes a nap
In the dirt
Mm that's how this
Family works, yeah
That's how this family works
I got family first
And if anyone in family hurt
Somebody takes a nap
In the dirt
Mm that's how this
Family works, yeah
That's how this family works
