Family (feat. The Un, Def Eff, Logic Al, Ive the Knife & Fast Eddie)

We talk to each other, we feel each others love and happiness Its a beautiful thing to have a family So yeah, all you young brothers, young sisters, you know what im sayin Understand, you always have to have someone to guide you, to keep you going To keep you strong, to keep you uplifted, you know Because no matter who other you go to, your friends, your boys, your homies You know, they may tell you one thing, but your family will tell you the right thang So, Instead of me telling you, about my thang Imma have these brothers, tell you, about their thang I keep my family right next to my heart The people i love most on this planet I keep my family right next to my heart,where it belongs I love you We stick together Through the sunshine and the stormy weather We forgive transgressions Try to show love, minimize aggression In no way are we perfect We do things and regret them Hurtful words, yeah we say them Add to stress and we burden them Our love don't falter Burn bridges and build them up,the bond is stronger Disagreements come up Don't see eye to eye and at times no longer care Yeah we've all been there Before its nothing new no, we call it family So before my times up Next of kin chosen family, all my love is yours I appreciate you Strength and unity cause divided we destined to fall Apart, this is from my heart Sincerely yours whom I call my family Picture trees with no leaves Working days and no leave Matrix 1 with no Reeves, and Joburg girls with no weaves Me in a world with no bees and human beings with no needs That's impossible like Africa that truly receives A little more than it gives, to continents overseas Oil, gold, coltan and diamonds what it is Help me picture this please a cure for every disease Made available even though all the profit will cease Can't see a series of these within these realities That we live in while we're searching for a moment to breath News with no one who bleeds Streets with no one who pleads A government that really aims to serve and truly appease The people it oversees, to which it makes promises That they hold onto in hopes it really speaks what it means If you can picture any of these impossibilities Then you can picture me without Family Never Oh yeah we famly, like Oscars and Grammies performing arts Contorting hearts, result in scars between my scapula, blood sucking Dracula, You smart A cunning serpent, leviathan, conspiarin for my demise But hey we family So what you plot and skeem bout how to kill my dream Of how I stand tall while you're on your knees kissing my feet It's not my fault God chose me to come set His people free But in his own home a prophet is not well received And since we Family I expect nothing less than disrespect Coz you can't help but hate it's innate in your design I Profess I must be blessed if my success gives you stress It's a thin line between love and hate, Not to conflate the issues Because we're family I still miss you And wish somehow the problem only went as deep as tissue Epithelium But spiritual wounds, only God's healin' 'em Perhaps we'll be a Family Once again when you believe in Him
