When it's family you forgive them for they know not what they do
When it's family you accept them cause you have no choice but to
When it's family they're a mirror of the worst and best in you
And they always put you to the test and you always try to do your best
And just pray for God to do the rest when it's family
Some are preachers some are gay some are addicts drunks and strays
But not a one is turned away when it's family
Some are lucky others ain't some are fighters other faint
Winners losers sinners saints it's all family
And when it's family you trust them and your heart's an open door
When it's family you tolerate what you'd kill others for
When it's family you love and hate and take then give some more
Somehow you justify mistakes try to find some better way
To solve the problems day to day in the family
You take the trouble as it comes and love 'em more than anyone
Good or bad or indifferent it's still family
You choose your lovers you pick your friends
Not the family that you're in
They'll be with you till the end cause it's family
And when it's family you forgive them for they know not what they do
When it's family they're a mirror of the worst and best in you
Dad: First was me
Mom: Then was we
(the son and daughter come out)
Mom and Dad: Then was them
All: And that made all of us
And we're a family!
A family!
A family!
Each loves the other
Mother, father, sister, brother!
(they run back behind the screen, then come out again in a repeat of the above, only in different outfits, and each one in a different role.)
Dad: First was me
Mom: Then was we
(the son and daughter come out)
Mom and Dad: Then was them
All: And that made all of us
And we're a family!
A family!
A family!
Each loves the other
Mother, father, sister, brother!
And the dooooog came later on
And so did the cat
And the goldfish
And the turtle and the frog
And the car (don't forget about that)
Until we moved and we sold it
(back behind the screen to change outfits and identities.)
Dad: First was me
Mom: Then was we
(the son and daughter come out)
Mom and Dad: Then was them
All: And that made all of us
And we're a family!
A family!
A family!
Each loves the other
Mother, father, sister, brother!
(back behind the screen, this time coming out dressed as the animals.)
And the dooooog came later on
And so did the cat
And the goldfish
And the turtle and the frog
And the car (don't forget about that)
Until we moved and we sold it

Mom and Dad: Then was them
All: And that made all of us
And we're a family!
A family!

Each loves the other
Mother, father, sister, brother!
It's plain to seeeeee
That we're just a perfectly ordinary
Ordinarily perfect
(Spin around, change outfits)
Perfectly ordinary
Ordinarily perfect
(Spin and change again)
Perfectly ordinary
Ordinarily perfect
(Spin and change again)
FAMILY!
(At that they look at themselves, the last change leaves them wildly mixed up, the girl has a big black mustache, the dad in a wig and ribbons, everything mismatched.)
Take a little path
Just look at where we are
We’ve come very, very far together
And if I might say so
And if I might say so too
We wouldn’t have got anywhere
If it weren’t for you, boy
Love is the sweetest thing
Love have a conscience when you think it will
Love is the way we feel for you
We’re family
We’re family
We’re family
All of us, and you
Think of where we’d be
If we were on our own (we’ll be dead!)
You’re what holds us all together (I am?)
And if I might say so
And if we might say so too
We never could love anyone
As much as we love you
Love is the strangest thing
Love does exactly what it wants to do
Love, boy you know it’s true
We’re family
We’re family
We’re family
Me (me, me, me, me, me, me) and you
Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust
Without you there’ll be no us
Love is the sweetest thing
Love does exactly what it wants to do
Love is the way we feel for you
We’re family
We’re family
We’re family
Me and you
Here's father, his heart screwed on
Yes, here he's got it I'm sure
'Cause he lost his life in an accident
Found his heart in the man next door
What exactly's gonna happen
When they do transplant the brain
Will my borrowed brain still compute the same
Or will my daughter suffer so much more
Here comes the girl, she's got her head screwed on
But it ain't screwed on right
Her ambition is to be a prostitute
But the breaks just weren't right
What exactly's gonna happen, tell me
When her father finds out
That his virgin daughter has bordello dreams
And that he's the one she wants to try out
Yeah
There's ma, she's living dangerously
It's a cinch she'll try it anything twice
She thinks she can run right to the whirlpool's edge
And stop herself just in time
What exactly's gonna happen
When she finally fizzles out
The lovers will just be sucked into
To see what the colours of death are all about
Here's the son, has his legs a-screwed on
Yeah, they're screwed on pretty tight
But his brain is loose and it ain't no use
He's already lost the fight
What exactly's gonna happen
When he's finally realized
That he can't play his guitar like E.G. Jim
Or write St. Augustine if he tried
That's what happens
When a family finds out
That they've been in orbit now for a thousand years
Is it a beautiful day? You're beautiful
I mentioned earlier that the world is watching each of you
You make me so proud I'm the happiest woman in the world right now
I have a dream come true
I want you to listen to me now
This is being televised again worldwide today
Just calm yourselves, come on, alright, can you feel me?
Yes, this may be the most important moment in my life
There are words in this song that to me are very special, listen
It's more than you
It's more than me
No matter what we are
We are a family
This dream is for us
This one can be real
They can't stop us now
Because of how we feel
It's more than you
It's more than me
Whatever dreams we have
They're for the family
We're not alone any more then
There are others there
And this dream's big enough
For all of us to share
So don't think you're going
We're not going anywhere
We're staying, taking our share
If you get afraid again, I'll be there
We are a family like a giant tree
Branching out towards the sky
We are a family and so much more
Than just you and I
We are a family like a giant tree
Growing strong, growing wiser
We are, we are a family
Yo..
Dunn you fam to me, and only family
that can get that close to me
Keep it type strong
Blowin green that's keepin us goin
Allah Havoc gettin right, on them 747
Dunn you fam to me, and only family
that can get that close to me
Keep it type strong
Blowin green that's keepin us goin
Unconditional love showin
Yo, yo, yo, yo
Forty decide, on the First side right
Me and my Dunns come from the slums
You can't take the slums out my Dunns
and that's how it is, that's how we live
Sometimes I find myself wearin the same shit for days
not carin, bout what they gon' think or say
I got that, "I don't give a fuck" in me, it's stuck in me
That's how I 'vantage over y'all niggaz, y'all too pretty
We too gritty, like Sanford and Son (what)
Too grimy like Pigpen with jewels on
See we the top rap niggaz, the Q-Dogs
You got a lot of nerve, puttin out them songs
knowin that my niggaz come strong, so let's get it on
We just gettin warm, Operation "Quiet Storm"
Silent wars or we silence the fours
Half P and I's got it in the smash for sure
Now it's movies and soundtracks
This is where your career stop at
Aiyyo I drink to that
I'm like a dictionary, y'all rappers exam me
You ballet? They read your obituary, in front your family
You should idolize Nas in the flesh
Don't wait til I'm dead, to say I was the best, no doubt
We shot hoops with coathangers, got loot with dopeslangers
Sold soap to strangers, joked with danger
Rob prostitutes, dodge cops in hot pursuit
Bought weight from rosters, travel hot routes
O.T. commute back and forth
Tell shorty get that package off
Fuck bein trapped up North, being told where to eat and shit
Caught a case then I beat the shit
Theives on the block flash badges, nylon jackets
Big white boys with guns yellin, "Freeze black kids!"
Got my niggaz in the pen, eatin octopus
Wishin they was on the blocks with us
to watch me and P do it (uh) put the heat to it (uh)
Put it out, first day, the whole street knew it
Bitches, hold they pussies and bop to the music
and think deep to it, now who the truest?
Yo..
Dunn you fam to me, and only family
that can get that close to me
Keep it type strong
Blowin green that's keepin us goin
Allah Havoc gettin right, on them 747
Dunn you fam to me, and only family
that can get that close to me
Keep it type strong
Blowin green that's keepin us goin
Unconditional love showin
Yo you fam to me, and only family
that can get that close to me
Keep it type strong
Blowin green that's keepin us goin
Unconditional love showin
Are you fam to me, and only fam to me
that can get that close to me
Keep it type strong
Dirty fingernails, reachin in my pocket pullin knots out
I daydream of better days, in different ways
out this lifestyle we live, iced out with the big fifth
That's why the burnt leather lean to the left
Even though we gained cash on fish
I'm trapped on reason bein we ain't all rich
And I'ma be that same nigga for the door
And I'ma still walk the same path, we soon clash
We get stacks, you do the math
We pound niggaz out, walk away and laugh
Fresh from out the lab, P and Nastradamus kid
Rap niggaz shit they drawers
Yo they probably did
I aircondition y'all niggaz, my prediction is you rewind this
Your highness, Q-Boro's finest
Click your Timbs three times, the wizard is Nas
Grant you a wish, you get rich while listenin hard
To my thugs in the prisonyard, bench-pressin 200 pounds and up
Feelin like you down on your luck
Raise up, I feel your pain, hit the law library
Appeal the game, all eyes on me
Restrained from, bein looked at, as uncivilized
We epitomize thug song, y'all niggaz get mad
Jealous rappers is puss, ain't got no style
no heart and no look, shook
Get stole on, my niggaz move right in the moonlight
Y'all niggaz get done, I pee on them son, they a small issue
We too official, blue steel pistols
Teflon vests, it's no contest we hit you
Dunn you fam to me, and only family
that can get that close to me
Keep it type strong
Blowin green that's keepin us goin
Unconditional love showin
Yo, yo, yo, yo
Forty decide, Forty-First side right

And we are all going home
Are you listening? We are all going home
So come join the family
'Cause we are a family
And we are all going home
Mamma's crying again here baby's no where to be found
the world has gone taken her away
Daddy went and ran off with some white trash half his age
left me at home to pay for his mistakes
My sister held my hand when that bad boy broke my heart
Ain't no miles ain't no man could ever tear us apart
Here I stand on roots that deep
We laugh we cry we hurt we bleed
We're best of friends and worst enemies
We're all to blame, were all the same, make no apologies
This is my family
Can't forget the night that uncle William passed away
we were forced to recognize his weird disease
I ran away and ran around with a man twice my age
ain't it funny how some things never change
Here I stand on roots that deep
We laugh we cry we hurt we bleed
We're best of friends and worst enemies
We're all to blame, were all the same, make no apologies
This is my family
Don't you try to shame my name
Cause til the death I will defend
Yeah their blood runs through my veins
It's where I start and where I'll end
Here I stand on roots that deep
We laugh we cry we hurt we bleed
We're best of friends and worst enemies
We're all to blame, were all the same, make no apologies
What about what I need?
Curtis says its the best thing for the group.
What about whats best for me?
He feels the Dreams can crossover.
What about how I feel?
But when we're famous I'll write great things for ya, Effie do it for me.
What about me? What about me?
It's more than you, it is more than me
No matter what we are, we are a family
This dream is for all of us, this one can be real,
and you cant stop us now because of how you feel..
It's more than you, It is more than me
Whatever dreams we have, there for the family,
we're not alone anymore now there are others there,
and that dreams big enough for all of us to share,
so dont think that your going,
your not going anywhere, your staying and taking your share, and if
you get afraid again, I'll be there..,
We are a family like a giant tree branching out towards the sky, we are a family we
are so much more than just you and I we are a family like a giant tree,
growing stronger, growing wiser, we are growing free... we need you... we are a family..
Mama please stop cryin'
I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful
and it's tearin' me down
I hear glasses breaking
As I sit up in my bed
I told god you didn't mean
Those nasty things you said
You fight about money
about me and my brother
And this I come home to
This is my shelter
It ain't easy, growin' up in World War 3
Never knowin' what love could be
You'll see, I don't want love to destroy me
Like it has done my family
Can we work it out?
Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better
Mommy I'll do anything
Can we work it out?
Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better
Daddy please don't leave
Daddy please stop yellin'
I can't stand the sound
Make mama stop cryin'
'Cause I need you around
My mama she loves you
No matter what she says it's true
I know that she hurts you
But remember I love you too!
I ran away today, ran from the noise
Ran away (ran away)
Don't wanna go back to that place
But don't have no choice, no way
It ain't easy, growin' up in World War 3
Never knowin' what love could be
But I've seen, I don't want love to destroy me
Like it did my family
Can we work it out?
Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better
Mommy I'll do anything

I had a partner named Courtney
Dead, pulled by a van, blood gone from his head
I had another partner named Terry
Dead, he tried to flee the scene before they hit 'em wit the left
My grandma always said

So they're dying like flies
Got me kinda scared to go outdoors

The streets all we got it
Boys gon' be boys, me in ya hype

Joey puts her make-up on really well
She looks cool in the flashing lights
And all the boys gossip about the shape of her legs
On these muddled up and drunken nights
And if it's all got to end up between the sheets
She can coo like a virgin dove
But really she just doesn't want to be alone
And if you want you can call that love
M6 southbound roadside cafe on a wild wet and windy night
There's a kid in a sleeping bag huddled in a corner, trying to beg a light
He's got mum and dad tattooed on his arm
From when he thought that that would make it alright
He's got hope and fear on his young boy's face
Another innocent taking flight, saying
Chorus:
Give me some place that I can go
Where I don't have to justify myself
Swimming out alone against this tide
Looking for family looking for tribe
They said go, get out, we've got our own lives to lead
Now that water is thicker than blood
And every house is divided into single flats
With their very own little welcome rug
The shopping mall it is teeming with life
Fighting for the goodies on the shelf
But there's those funny old people on the escalators
Talking to themselves, saying
Chorus:
Give me some place that I can go
Where I don't have to justify myself
Swimming out alone against this tide
Looking for family looking for tribe
Well I survive on my own for a while or so
Upon a whim or a bottle of wine
Just trying to make sense of these new surroundings
I only changed my name a couple of times
Please take me back Joey, I'm really sorry
Can we try to make a happy home?
But she's gone with someone else and they're starting a family
Trying for a clan of their own, so
Chorus:
Give me some place that I can go
Where I don't have to justify myself
Swimming out alone against this tide
Looking for family looking for tribe
Tell me where you from round? (I'm from here)
Tell me where you from round? (I'm from here)

I heat up the way coffee be
Tasty like pastry
Got mo' flavors than parsely
With 9 aunties and 2 uncles
I got a lot of cousins, so watch how you talk to me
Good ol' places, good ol' times, doing good ol' thangs
That was just the good ol' days,
most of my people still look the same
All though we deep in the numbers,
Our feelings is close as the lotto ya heard me
We originated in Louisiana way back in the 1930's
On the farm in the son of mister and misses Joyner and Mary Tyler
Hooked up with they daughter,
Daughter Josephine the difference do you know what I mean
She was on the cotton field
He was on the farm where the cows get killed
Then they moved off the plantation
Then ??? came in a few mo' years
First came Rosa Lee, then Lord June Bug, then Anna Lee
Then Louise and Alberta, then my mama came who they call Marie
Without a breather, um, here come Mary Alice, and Linda
Po' Grandma stayed bare foot, pregnant, and always baring
Don't worry be happy, whatever we got we was glad that we had it
After that, here come the last three, (Who was?)

Tell me where you from round? (I'm from here)
Tell me where you from round? (I'm from right chere)

Now that you know about my family ties,
and my family history, and my family size
I done took ya back five generations and broke it down for ya,
Now haven't I?
From greatgrandparents to grandparents,
Mama's and daddy's and Uncle's and Aunties
To all of my in-law'es, nana's pa raisers and nephews and niece's

You better watch how you look at me
Can you fix this? It's a broken heart.
It was fine, but it just fell apart.
It was mine, but now I give it to you,
Cause you can fix it, you know what to do.
Let your love cover me,
Like a pair of angel wings,
You are my family,
You are my family.
We stood outside in the summer rain,
Different people with a common pain.
A simple box in that hard red clay,
Where we left him to always remain.
Let your love cover me,
Like a pair of angel wings,
You are my family,
You are my family.
The child who played with the moon and stars,
Waves a snatch of hay in a common barn,
In the lonely house of Adam's fall
Lies a child, it's just a child that's all, crying
Let your love cover me,
Like a pair of angel wings,
You are my family,
This is a family, I count on you, you count on me. Help each other put your arms around your brother. Help your sister trying hard as any other. Go! GO, GO THE DISTANCE! TRUE, GO THE DISTANCE! This brotherhood can't live without you. It takes a strong heart to go the distance true. True, go the distance true. This hardcore scene can't live without you. It takes a strong heart to go the distance true. THIS IS A FAMILY. I COUNT ON YOU. YOU COUNT ON ME.
Hmm let me go,
To see my family.
Please Father let me go,
As my mother sleeps.
I don't know about days gone,
But round here nobody lives twice.
When your gone, your gone, without no bye,
Because only a judge can give you life.
This is my advice,
Trust me, I nearly lost my life.
3 weeks after I got this rhyme,
It seems like I had too much wine.
Which that I I didn't get one,
Anyway, I was going to the ? booked for a set,
Even though I didn't have a set one.
Skream hit the decks, I was like check one.
Put on a show, but it weren't my best one.
Left it, dropped off Blacks at his destination,
Then I was off to the next one,
20 minutes later I was on the M1,
Tired.
But I kept on going,
Fell asleep without even knowing.
No motion in my face,
No movement in my legs, but the car still kept going.
Woke up,
Lorry,
Flash,
Panic,
Break,
Skid,
Crash,
Skidded,
More,
Bang,
Smash,
Out,
Cold,
Ribs,
Cracked,
Ouch.
I was in so much pain,
Crawled out of a Megan that now looked like a Mini,
When I was still on the first lane.
Baffled, didn't even know my name.
Fainted, too much shock in my brain.
Surrounded by paramedics and feds,
Trying to get up but fainted again.
I just want you to take a second, hear me out.
Don't think I'm happy cuz I smile when you see me out.
I've had serious madnesses where I've nearly disappeared,
Oh I'm begging Lord to save me and let me go,
To see my family,
And keep it inside,
Dry eyes, while my brother weeps.
Save my soul,
Please Father let me go.
Keep me safe, as my mother sleeps.
Eyes closed, they just wouldn't open,
I can hear voices and my phone ringing.
Fighting for life, can't tell if I'm winning,
One of the worst situations I've been in.
I can hear all of the angels singing.
But when it stopped humming,
My brain turned on, stared running.
Still in pain, but it started numbing,
the stone cold comeback I made was stunning.
I still tried to do a few shows cuz I didn't wanna tell them that I weren't coming.
But I was left with a permanent problem,
Nobody knows about the pain that I'm in (inside).
Ever so cunning,
6 weeks later, jogging and running.
I used the first air kit like a drum set,
Picked up the tools and I gave it a drumming.
Trust me, when it comes to mistakes,
You can't afford to let one in.
Never done dream for a while,
The black plan was blocked,
So I learnt and done a bit of plumbing.
They say tomorrow never dies,
But he forgot to tell you 'you can'.
You can have a sicker clan than Wu-Tang,
But when your time's up, that's it, it's you fam.
You can try beg for another,
Sometimes I'll be on my way to a show,
Thinking 'I just wanna see my brother',
Then do a U-turn, I'm gone, Runner.
I just want you to take a second, hear me out.
Don't think I'm happy cuz I smile when you see me out.
I've had serious madnesses where I've nearly disappeared.
Oh I'm begging Lord to save me and let me go,
To see my family.
And keep it inside,
Dry eyes, while my brother weeps.
I'm out on the road with my family
Everything is going good
Spreading the feelins that we feel inside
And we're having fun and we live as one
And you know it's true that's why we like to be with you
The ties that bind us together
Nothing can take that away
Stickin together through everything
And you know we can cause we understand
You are family too that's why we love to be with
We are happy cause we're one big family
We are happy cause we're one big family
We are happy cause we're one big family
we've wiped out clans and families
my species kills off everything close to me
eradicate all packs of wolves
shooting trapping poisoning wasting insanity
no more future
no real meaning
no more murder
no more pain
the hunters pay their blood money
a future loss of predatorial species
the governments they pay for this
shoot from a helicopter is a sportsman's dream
no more meaning
to this madness
no more killing
nothing gained
we live in the age of little red ridinghood
the movies and the stories show the wolves as never good
unlike us humans they only kill the weak
respect their elders, recpect their family
extinct!
the timber, red, and gray wolves play
a vital role in genetic diversity
i consider them a vital part of my world
so i'm justified in fighting to protect them all
no more hunting
no more murder
no more trapping
no more hate
canis
lupis
extinct
no more...
no more...
pain
In a dressmaker shop in Greece
The pins stick like tongues on pause
Or butts in an ashtray
Lunchtime packages
Waxed and wrapped in hell
Down a dusty road
Inside an apron ford
It's cool it's cool to love your family
It's cool it's cool to love your family
It's cool it's cool to love your family
I know because I love them more and more
You know what grandpa brought power to the place
Now he winks at me from thirty thousand feet
Now my uncle's got his face
And he takes the power to a different place
Hey hey he's ok
It's cool it's cool to love your family
It's cool it's cool to love your family
It's cool it's cool to love your family
I know because I love them more and more
In the Copenhague a city morgue
The dead sleep in metal slips
Called and last
And someone loved them once
And someone loves them still
And someone misses them
And someone always will
You know that it's cool it's cool to love your family
It's cool it's cool to love your family
It's cool it's cool to love your family
I know because I love them more and more
What about what I need?
Curtis says it's the best thing for the group.

He feels the Dreams can crossover.

But when we're famous I'll write great things for ya, Effie do it for me.

And you can't stop us now because of how you feel...
It's more than you, It is more than me
Whatever dreams we have, there for the family,
We're not alone anymore now there are others there,
And that dreams big enough for all of us to share,
So don't think that your going,
Your not going anywhere, your staying and taking your share, and if
You get afraid again, I'll be there,..
We are a family like a giant tree branching out towards the sky, we are a family we
Are so much more than just you and I we are a family like a giant tree,
I was born under open skies
72 sweet july
Blessed with my mama's eyes
Blessed with my mama's eyes
If you could see my mother's eyes, her eyes
Daddy kept our bellies full inside
He taught me and brother to love and be kind
I'd follow him around
And watch him bring that hammer down
The strongest man around
Nothing like family
We stick together cause together
Is the only way to be
Nothing like family
We stick together cause together
Is the only way to be
I was born under open skies
72 sweet july
Blessed with my mother's eyes
Under my father's pride
If you could see my brother's smile
Nothing like family
We stick together cause together
Is the only way to be
Nothing like family
We stick together cause together
Is the only way to be
Nothing like family
We stick together cause together
Who's my brother in Nashville, Tennessee?
Who's my sister in the village in Malawi?
Who's my lover in Washington DC?
Who's my neighbor, who's my loved one, who's my friend?
We are all family, we are all family
We are all family, we are all family
If we're all under one Father that makes us all brothers
We are all family
Who's my brother in a different kind of turf?
She's my sister struggling with her work
She's my mother, gave me all at birth
Who's my neighbor, who's my loved one, who's my friend?

We are all family, we are all family

Who's my neighbor, who's my loved one, who's my friend?
We are all family, we are all family
We are all family, we are all family
You don't have to look like me for us to be brotherly
And you don't have to be like me for us to be family
You don't have to think like me for us to speak intimately
Don't have to agree with me for us to be family
You don't have to live near me for us to be neighborly
You don't have to dress like me for us to be family
You don't have to speak like me to love each other, you see
You don't have to be like me for us to be family, oh no
In the pitch of night they keep callin'
Feed and killing the man that was me
Showed my piece of mind, he keeps screamin'
Mother
With the light of day comes a question
Cut the talisman of praise lose your fear
In the heat of the day sweats my anger
Father
Twisted tongue, twisted minds, twisted sisters
Perfect love, pent up hate becomes one
Lift my soul up so high just to let go
Brother
And father, father
Mother, mother
What'd you leave for me yeah, yeah
What'd you leave for me
And brother, brother
And sister, sister
What'd you leave for me yeah
What'd you leave for me
Ooh, what'd you leave for me
Solo
With the light of day comes a question
Cut the talisman of praise lose your fear
In the heat of day sweats my anger
Father
Father, father
Mother, mother
What'd you leave for me yeah, yeah
What'd you leave for me
Brother, brother
Sister, sister
What'd you leave for me yeah
What'd you leave for me
Ooh, what'd you leave for me
Neil miller
What about what I need
Curtis says it's the best thing for the group
What about what's best for me
He feels that dreams can cross over
What about how I feel, the one but famous
I'll write great things for you
Effy do it for me
What about me, what about me
It's more than you, it is more than me
No matter what we are, we are a family
This dream is for all of us, this one can be real
And you can't stop us now because of how you feel
It's more than you, it is more than me
Whatever dreams we have they're for the family
We're not alone anymore now they are others there
And that dream's big enough for all of us to share
So think you're going, you're not going anywhere
You're staying and taking your share
And if you get afraid again, I'll be there
We are a family like a giant tree branching out of the sky
We are a family, we are so much more than just you and I
We are a family like a giant tree
Growing stronger, growing wiser, we are growing free
Mother was a caterpillar
You should have seen her cocoon
But wait theres much much more
She'll be breaking out in time
She'll be different too
More powerful than before
Now she's got dragon wings
And she hunts and eats human beings
But I love her anyways because she's my ma
They're all part of my family
You can't break our unity
They're all part of my family
You can't break our unity
Their strange
But we share the same blood
No matter where you run
Don't forget where you come from
My brother has no physical form
He is just, pure thought
He dances in your mind
We speak through through telepathy
And when you're sleeping in the night
And he hates to be ignored
Now he screams inside me dreams
Says he'll erase all of my memories
Unless he gets the attention he needs
They're all part of my family
You can't break our unity
They're all part of my family
You can't break our unity
Their strange
But we share the same blood
No matter where you run
Don't forget where you come from
Father was a shape shifter
He used to play tricks on us kid
By hiding under beds
And I know whats on his face
Because its on my mind
Those eyes of burning red
And the devil stands in front of me
Cause I guess that's what I want to see
But I love him anyways cause he's my pa
They're all part of my family
You can't break our unity
They're all part of my family
You can't break our unity
Their strange
But we share the same blood
No matter where you run
Carry on we can make it through
Push forward I won't leave you
Never loose a step
Everyday is a new day
Tonight break down the walls
Family is the tie that binds
Built by him, fear the anger of his insanity
Hearse one more undertake him take him to the core
No one to stop, no one to dare, he rules this place with a clenches hand
No way to fight, it's never too late
Cancel the panic and join...
The family
Keep you haunted, lost and lonely
Watching all the way, he'll be your eyes
Seeking, within
Praising hell, loathing myself for the innocence
Plead no more, something he'll ignore
A devil in human shapes, his misery's one to shame, spinning reality
Sinking in words profane, his wishes will be yours
What about what I need?
Curtis says it's the best thing for the group.
What about what's best for me?
He feels the Dreams can crossover.
What about how I feel?
But when we're famous I'll write great things for ya, Effie do it for me.
What about me? What about me?
It's more than you, it is more than me
No matter what we are, we are a family
This dream is for all of us, this one can be real,
And you can't stop us now because of how you feel...
It's more than you, It is more than me

And that dreams big enough for all of us to share,
So don't think that your going,

[X-Raided:]
We laughin' at you niggas
Cuz half of you niggas is bitches
We blastin' at you niggas
Cuz half of you niggas is snitches
We reptiles and you niggas is rodents
We after you niggas get hit with projectiles
Who fought a thousand bullets
Our triggers are stolen like SoundScans
We know what city niggas money in
We pound fans, come to town and clown
Man, we know what city niggas money in
I'm a bad man with sickle cell, it's
Coleone and X-Raided
Tryin' to scam man, that shit gone fail, it's gonna be on for the exclaimated
I mean well, Lunasicc cuz
Why these niggas tryin' to mean mugg?
It's a bitch if you don't realize that this music shit will never come between us
We family muthafucka! What you expectin' us to do?
Think you could handle me muthafucka? Til' this Tec bust at you?

When my niggas see you, they gonna grab the gats, walk, and spray you all
When it come down to my family nigga, fuck platinum, that ain't it at all
[Chorus x2: Lunasicc]
Who wanna fuck with me and my family?
Tight hoes and tight clothes, can't be mad at me
Bitch niggas out in the streets suckin' dildos
My Relli, we stompin' hard in them steel toes
[Lunasicc:]
Nigga it's fam bam, recognize, this real shit
Family over hoes, and family over scrill bitch
Hotter than cleavage on my Dear Old Aunt Rosey
Throw up the middle finger on niggas that owe me
It's Coleone, I'm a G, hang with me
From Chicago to Sac, nigga bang with me
I fuck with niggas who don't have no love for a snitch
Screamin' out at the party "No Love For A Bitch!"
I'ma psycho, I flow, like currents in the River
Ride strapped with gats, no size, no shivers
It's Coleone, me and my family, we do things
And spill any niggas brains over my change
[Chorus]
[Lunasicc:]
Me and my family ridin' on 'em Dogg
Like X-locc, I'm a young muthafuckin' Hogg
They say I'm crazy like a fox, nigga watch this

You wanna come between my family, hope you take a check
That's what I'm gone do
So nigga best respect
It's Coleone boy! Nobody gone take my manhood
Cuz do or die niggas like me, grow in every hood
And that's the real though, these hoe niggas suckin' on dildos
Holdin' on tight to some shit niggas'll kill for
Best respect the game, all that it's worth
My intuition said it was
My intuition said it was fair
All you should know there's
Not enough to go around
Here they go again
I can see 'em
As they try they try to take it out on me
Here they go again I can
Watch closer now
I can watch closer now
They can't find enough
To take enough from me
They can't find enough
To take enough from me
Guess I go down
Said it wasn't but I guess it was
Say it wasn't but I guess it ends
Here they go again
I can, try, try
My Intuition knocked again fair
All you should know by now is there's
Not enough to go around
But I never go that way
The other half of me said I should
Throw it down the drain
Throw it down the drain
They can't find enough
To take enough from me
They can't find enough
To take enough from me
I've seen the hordes of war
Looking down that drain
At your heart
Here they go and they try
She was feeling you tide-burn
Cause her family was wearing on her nerves
She was tired of fighting and feeling frustrated
Finding it hard to relate to those of whom she was
related
You know we all sometimes, say things we don't mean
But that don't mean that we're not still family
Generation to generation it gets passed on
And then one day, those who would passing well they
passed on
Pulling back the covers, her heart will start to
shudder when she realizes how deep it all went
Trying to forgive what was said, but was never really
meant
Well you know we all sometimes, say things we don't
mean.
But that don't mean we're not still family.
Pull out of the shadows and find out that eventually
It's all bad, it's all good baby can't you see
That we all, well we all, well we all are still family
I was there from the moment that you were born
And I've loved you since I heard your first cries
And I know we won't always be getting along
But I promise you that I will always try
You know we all sometimes, say things we don't mean
But that don't mean that we're not still family
You know we all sometimes, say things we don't mean
But that don't mean that we're not still family
You know we all sometimes, say things we don't mean
What about what I need?
Curtis says it's the best thing for the group.
What about what's best for me?
He feels the Dreams can crossover.
What about how I feel?
But when we're famous I'll write great things for ya, Effie do it for me.
What about me? What about me?
It's more than you, it is more than me
No matter what we are, we are a family
This dream is for all of us, this one can be real,
And you can't stop us now because of how you feel...
It's more than you, It is more than me
Whatever dreams we have, there for the family,
We're not alone anymore now there are others there,
And that dreams big enough for all of us to share,
So don't think that your going,
Your not going anywhere, your staying and taking your share, and if
You get afraid again, I'll be there,..
We are a family like a giant tree branching out towards the sky, we are a family we
Are so much more than just you and I we are a family like a giant tree,
Say something awful, as if fucking the world is your
right.
And I watch you stumble, drunk out into the night.
To cat call ladies, you're thirsty for blood, you're
pickin a fight.
And i wanted to ask you man whatta you do, in the
daylight.
So bum me a cigarette, buy me a beer till i'm happy to be
here, happy to be here.
With all of my family hookers in heels and the men who
watch them like hungry black eels.
Run into me sunday tell me you had one hell of a time.
And through the haze and the gunsmoke i'm forced to
believe you're probably right.
Someone lies bleeding, someone got violent and did not
think twice.
And i watched you my brother making a fool of the moon
tonight.
So bum me a cigarette, buy me a beer till i'm happy to be
here, happy to be here.
With all of my family hookers in heels and the men who
watch them like hungry black eels.
