In human context, a family (from Latin: familia) is a group of people affiliated by consanguinity, affinity, or co-residence. In most societies it is the principal institution for the socialization of children. Anthropologists most generally classify family organization as matrilocal (a mother and her children); conjugal (a wife, husband, and children, also called nuclear family); and consanguinal (also called an extended family) in which parents and children co-reside with other members of one parent's family.
There are also concepts of family that break with tradition within particular societies, or those that are transplanted via migration to flourish or else cease within their new societies. As a unit of socialization the family is the object of analysis for sociologists of the family. Genealogy is a field which aims to trace family lineages through history. In science, the term "family" has come to be used as a means to classify groups of objects as being closely and exclusively related. In the study of animals it has been found that many species form groups that have similarities to human "family"—often called "packs." Sexual relations among family members are regulated by rules concerning incest such as the incest taboo.

In a dressmaker shop in Greece
The pins stick like tongues on poles, or butts in an ashtray
Lunchtime packages, waxed and wrapped and held
Down a dusty road, inside an apron fold
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
It's cool, it's cool to love your family

In the Copenhagen 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

And we'd like to know if Mr. Cho En Li gets high with all
the tea in China
And if the Eastern block is really straight or not or are
all the heads in Asia Minor
We only wanna break the chain of society
Put the people back on the road to reality
We only wanna turn the whole world on
And the politicians start to speak
Trying to make themselves clear
To the ones who can't diagnose
The symptoms of verbal diarrhea
And the ministers of state
Who preach their words of hate
We suggest they change their religion before it's too
late
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Weaver of life, let me look and see
The pattern of my life gone by,
Shown on your tapestry.
Just for one second, one glance upon your loom
The flower of my childhood could have fit within this room
Does it of my youth show, tears of yesterday?
Broken hearts, within a heart, as love first came my way.
Do the lifeline patterns change as I became a man
An added aura untold blend as I asked for her hand.
Did your golden needle sew it, thread virginial white
As long as we embrace as one upon our wedding night.
Did you capture all the joys the birth of our first son?
The happiness of family made a brother for the one.
The growing of the brothers, the manliness that grew
Is it there in detail? Is it their to view?
Do the sparks of life grow bright as one by one they wed?
To live as fathers, husbands, apart from lives they've led.
Are my lover's threads cut off when aged she laid to rest
My sorrow blacking out a space upon thou woven crest
A gathering for the last time as her coffin slowly lain
Ash to ashes, dust to dust, one day we will regain.
Does it show, does it swipe, grandchildren on my knee
But only hearing laughter when age took my sight from me.
Lastly through these last few years of loneliness maybe
Does it by sight a shooting star fade from your tapestry.
Wait there in the distance, over your loom I think I see
Could it be that after all my prayers you've answered me?
After days of wondering I see the reason why.
You kept it to this minute, for I'm about to die.
Weaver of life,
At last now I can see
The patterns of my life gone by, shown on your tapestry.
Family
A dusty day in this old town
A hazy yellow eye looks down
A buzzing bee's the only lazy sound
I take the grass, he hits the hay
The two of us drift through the day
A butterfly, a sigh, and it's flick away
Know we're lazy, lots of people say so
But one day they're gonna see
We're only doing whatever makes us happy
We're sitting here, me and my mule
We make our own rules, and it's cool
Ooh oh - me and my mule, yeah
I know I'm lazy, lots of people say so
But one day they're gonna see
We're only doing whatever makes us happy
Oh, we're sitting here, me and my mule
We're nobody's fool, and it's cool
I close my eyes, yeah I feel alright
Must be close to 95
I get my shade from a good old hat that's made from
Hide
One more day in God's good sun
We won't move for anyone
Spend our lazy days and ways just turnin' on
I'm looking down, there's my old mule
A stubborn nag, but no, no one's fool
He's my only friend and he's cool
My old mule, oh, nobody's fool
My old mule, oh, nobody's fool
Yeah, my old mule, no-no-no-nobody's fool
My old mule, mmh mmh yeah ....
A small boy, bucket in hand
Building castles in the sand
Thinking of his life that lies ahead
An engine driver, sailor, why not a king
Of the sand castle as the gypsy woman said
Taking a ride on a dinkie rail
A green engine that's old
Could be a royal procession through
Big city streets
Waving to the crowds from a sand carpet of gold
Shaking hands of the V.I.P.'s one meets
Sailing a toyboat in a rockpool
Thinking that it could be
The Queen Mary, passing the Cape Horn tip
Something majestic, sailing world wide seas
Attention please, I'm the captain of the ship
After all these thoughts and more
The boy returned to find
That the sandcastles had been washed into the sea
Head in hands, eyes full of tears
And a mixed up mind
The gypsy woman can't foresee the years
People that you send to war
Who don't know what they're fighting for
Leaving their loved ones at home
Wondering if they're on their own
Oh, if they're alone
Mothers and fathers that wait
For news of their innocents' fate
Raising a son for some years
Only to end it in tears
Oh, only to end it in tears
You being masters of war
You never knew your fathers
That's for sure
Just counting the numbers that died
I hope that you're satisfied
I hope that you're satisfied
My friend he's a salesman
up in Leicestershire
His wife and baby love him
To him they're all so dear
We got talking together
about some rights and wrongs
And just before I left there
I heard him sing this song:
I love my lady and baby
And I'm sure that you love yours
We want to care for each other
That's what we're here for
Yes, I love my lady and baby
And I'm sure that you love yours
So don't go pulling your switches
We don't need your wars
My friend he's a tailor
up in Leicester town
He works his own shop there
And I know he's alright now
He's got his way of thinking
And know's that I've got mine
There's mostly only one thing
we agree on all the time
We love our lives and our ladies
And we're sure that you love yours
We want to care for each other
That's what we're here for
We love our lives and our ladies
And we're sure that you love yours
So don't go pulling your switches
We don't need your wars
After the turn you finally learn to play along
Your feelings are blind so you don't really mind if
it's right or wrong
Fall in line
No they won't let it stand on the back of their hand
Won't take a cave in the mine
You see what they've done, the ends just begun to
filter in
The end is in sight and the thought of a fight, now
it's wiltering
Yours and mine
They won't let it stand on the back of their hand
Won't take a cave in the mine
I could cry help
But I'd much sooner fend for myself
Don't wanna feel that I'm drowned in wine
Hate every thought of having to fall in line
Just want to grow, just want to grow and share what's
yours and mine
As sure as I see they're looking at me with glasses on
And as sure as I feel I know they're for real, and the
gas is on
Well I'm drowned in wine
No they won't let it stand, no no
Don't wanna feel that I'm drowned in wine
Hate every thought of having to fall in line
Just want to grow, grow and share what's yours and mine
After the turn you've finally learned to play along
Your feelings are blind and you don't really mind if
it's right or wrong
I'm drowned, drowned in wine
No they won't let it stand
No they won't let it stand
I said they won't let it stand, no
Visions they're dancing like puppets on strings
Wait for the face in the choir to sing
Cymbals and symbols you clang in my ear
While rainclouds burst out into tears
Burning your bridges on God's Holy Fire
And all of the children you sire
Over and over my blues start to roll
Bypass my body head straight for my soul
While speeches ain't silent and silence ain't gold
When left in the dirt there to mould
Burning your bridges on God's Holy Fire
And all of, all of the children you sire
Rainwater preachers hang vines on the road
Lamplight reflections all turned into stone
Of tall handsome strangers who pray down their nose
And they're nailed to the cross, I suppose
Burning your bridges on God's Holy Fire
And all the children you sire
Whoa no, whoa yeah (Woo, oh)
Whoa no, whoa no, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
There's a gentle autumn breeze that blows
Whenever we be lyin', lyin' in my bed
The moon appears and disappears, U look at me
My clothes I quickly, I quickly shed
The curtains dance a minuet, autumn plays the music, baby
Come on, hold my hand
Leaves are fallin' velvet splash
Only U and I can under, only U can understand
The sunlight draws a picture through the silky lace
That hangs above your, hangs above your door
A picture that is waving, that it seems 2 be with every thrust U
Make me beg 4 more
Oh, a robin sings a masterpiece
That lives and dies unheard
4 screams of passion
A sound produced by 2 in love
Curtains dance and autumn plays on
(Oh, 2 in love, on and on)
The screams of passion
All I hear in my head echoing like a volcano, baby
The screams of passion
Back and forth the raging seas of lust, I want U madly
Can't U tell, can't U tell, can't U tell, can't U tell?
Oww!
Take me in your arms, oh baby
The crime is done, I'd rather die here in your
Screams of passion
Whoa, hold me now, baby
Tell me that U love me
Is it Sunday or is it passion?
Love, love (The screams of passion)
The screams of passion, yeah yeah, love
The screams of, the screams of, the screams of passion, passion
Hand me that love
Yeah! (Shhh... not so loud baby)
Yeah! (Shhh, shhh)
The screams of passion {x2}
Oh, oh, oh, the screams of passion
Ooh, the screams of, the screams of, the screams of passion
The screams of passion
Back and forth the raging seas of lust
Raging, raging (The screams of passion)
U know I want U madly baby
Why can't U tell? Oww
Is.. is it Sunday? (Ooh love, ooh love)
I thought I heard a church bell (Or was it passion, passion?)
Yeah yeah (Oooh)
Passion
The screams of passion
What did U say baby?
Excuse me, but ...
Is that your passion?
Do U want my passion?
Uh, do U want my passion?
If U want my love, if U want my body baby
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let, uh, let me hear ya scream!
I want some passion
Ooooh
U know what I'm talkin' about baby?
Ooooh
I want some passion
U got that baby?
I want some passion
Passion, mmm
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.
we've wiped out clanes and family's
my species kills off everything close to me
eradicate all packs of wolves
shooting trapping poisoning killing insanity
no more future (no more)
no real meaning (no more)
no more murder (no more)
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 (no more)
to this madness (no more)
no more killing (no more)
nothing gained
we live
in the age of
red ridinghood
the movies and the stories
show the wolves as never good
unlike us humans
they only kill the weak
respect for their elders
they respect their family
family
extinct
the timber red and grey wolves play
a vital role's in genetic's diversity
they're considered part of my world
so i'm justified in fighting to protect them all
no more hunting (no more)
no more murder (no more)
no more trapping (no more)
no more hate (no more)
these wolves (no more)
cannis (no more)
lupus (no more)
extint (no more)
I wanna be somebody else today
I wanna take my shoes out
It ain't like me to complain
But it just feels like I'm losing
What's up to the people that don't know me
Better be buried in the sand
Climb up to the moonlight
Spit right in the palm of my hand
Cause we are, we are family
We are family
F-A-M-I-L-Y till the day we die
Verse 2:
This ain't open any question (?)
You gotta tell me straight
Before I get it in the air (?)
But I don't know how to be it
And I'm gone, and I know
Spy if you want me to know
I told my momma I don't even care
And even though I hate ‘em, I love ‘em so
Cause we are, we are family
We are family
F-A-M-I-L-Y till the day we die
Verse 3:
I woke up in the gravel, with my face against the ground
Had some cuts on my upWer lip
Swept in by the sound
Of a dog barking like a maniac
He was tied up to a chain
With the moment that I let him lose
Fangs were digging in my veins
Cause we are, we are family
We are family
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
Let's pretend that there's no hole in the wall
Let's pretend it never broke your fall
Let's not have our little talk tonight
Let's pretend everything's all right
Empty bottles in a blackened light
And the kids cried themselves to sleep last night
And I'm just trying to do the best I can
So I can’t promise this won't happen again
Were it not for faith or a little child
I could see myself running wild
But I'll stay with you after our feelings died
So lets got out tonight, tonight
Freedom comes to me in thoughts and dreams
Better life then my reality
Without my choice, threw family by divine,
Well, I'd want you too be mine
But the sun retreats and the full moon's high
So let's go out tonight
Were it not for faith or a little child
I could see myself...
So peaceful so quiet
You say you're leaving, but I don't think you should try it
My anger, my hatred
You can't go anywhere until you taste it
I love you dearly and I'm nothing without you
I can't let go and I'm not about too
I never meant to cause you any sorrow
But I won't know how to go on if you're not here tomorrow
Nothing growing, nothing changing
We haven't seen anything new for ages
My prison, my hatred
Really sorry, but you have to face it
Couldn't look into the mirror today
Still that stranger wouldn't go away
And I can't bare to look you in the eye
Cause I become all that I've ever despised
Were it not for faith or a little child
I could see myself running wild
But I'll stay with you until someone dies
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
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
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
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
This is a story about aman
And how he came to understand
The things in his life
And how to get along
And how to get along
Maybe someday I'll start a family
April 15th 2023
Maybe maybe maybe
Oh that we get along and
Oh that we get along well
I think it's time to tell and It's time to tell the tale
And forget one
And forget one
Maybe someday I'll start afamily
April 15th 2023
Maybe maybe maybe
Maybe someday I'll start a family
April 15th 2023
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?

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.
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
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
Y'all can't control us we know whats right
Our unity's close knit, yeah tight
Cuz we know the lies we know the truth
We don't need the intel we got tha proof
Brotherhood fraternity its more than who yer running wit
Cuz we get down with that unity shit
So this is my crew and fuck you too
We're like rubber and your like glue
[Dave:]
Cities crumble to the beat of my snare
Care? What they don't do about you
It's true. Time to come through for the crew
So get up, raise up for the EE coup
So shut up the fuck up and take up yo seat
Watch the revolution as we take to the streets
We dress all in black and are light on our feet
Football is stupid but pipe bombs are neat
[Brandon:]
Rag on our face running through tha streets
Burning down yer churches as we kill tha police
We don't like war but its too late for peace
Were gonna bring the whole system down to its knees
These trite mother fuckers from east C-stream
Taking out tha trash taking over the scene
Ain't got no room to hate or to fight or lie
Just doin' what we can to get through the night
Were aimin' at the rich who oppress the poor
Don't take no shit from the political whores
Just doin' what we love ride till we die
You can't stop us now cuz we got unity on our side
Always together like birds of a feather
Through thick and thin and all kinds of weather
So enough of your ignorant close minded bullshit
So much for reason when, cold and unfeeling,
It brings every trial to your door.
When worries are swarming like bats in the morning
Or shadows of moths on the wall.
Shadows of moths on the wall.
Lover, remember:
The sorghum and the cane shake.
We don't.
Here comes the breath, comes the unwanted guest.
The flock before dogs taking shape.
In henna and feathers it sweeps through the desert
When something you love is at stake.
Something you love is at stake.
Lover, remember:
The sorghum and the cane shake.
We don't.
Lover, the weather
Is changing every day.
I won't.
Under the mountains are roofs of our houses and homes.
There with your mother, your father and brother, below.
Bury your worry, or worry your worry tonight.
Follow your mother, your father and brother back home.
Lover, remember:
The sorghum and the cane shake.
We don't.

Somebody told me that you're happy but I'm stuck with
you ignoring
Stepping further, I slap your face
Tell me how could you do this when you know that I'm
just not in love with you
You know that I'm just not in love with you
I won't
don't worry
I won't
don't worry (You know that I'm just not in love with
you)
I won't settle, I won't settle (You know that I'm just
not in love with you)
Every step I take is a step to you ('Cause you're
having my baby)
And I want you to wait 'cause I'm always waiting, oh
(Having my baby)
It's a complex affair, this life we live
I could do my wrongs, you could do your rights
With this song I hope you will take me back
There's a flower waiting on your street
I won't
don't worry
I won't
don't worry
I won't settle, I won't settle
Every step I take is a step away
From the burning house with my mistake
Oh
Take me, take me back!
Take me, take me back!
I want you, to take me back
Take me, take me back!
Somebody told me that you're happy but I'm stuck with
you ignoring
Stepping further, I slap your face
Tell me how could you do this when you know that I'm
just not in love with you
You know that I'm just not in love with you
I won't
don't worry
I won't

Every step I take is a step to you ('Cause you're
having my baby)
And I want you to wait 'cause I'm always waiting, oh
(Having my baby)
I wish sometime you won't regret
Even if your mind won't take the test
I could do my wrongs you could do your rights
And you'll let me go with my mistakes
I won't
don2t worry
I won't
don't worry
I won't settle, I won't settle
Every step I take is a step to you
And I want you to wait 'cause I'm always waiting, oh
In time I will be gone, away from here
Lift my burden from the earth and oceans
I’d like to imagine what could even happen
If you and I would collide
Collide
I want to be your family
I want to see what’s in your dreams
I want to spend all of my days on you
I want to kill your enemies
I want to fight for all your dreams
I want to spend all of my days on you
This life is brittle pale and thin, starving for loss
Of which occurs when things like this miss their mark
I’d like to show you why I want you so desperately
I’m so callous, but you complete me
You’re everything that I’m not
You’re the complement of my attributes
Without you I’d be lost
The biggest mistake I could ever choose
Would be to let you leave
I’d rather rip out all of my teeth
Then have you far from me
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
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 neighbor, who's my loved one, who's my friend?
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
What mood is that you wear this time?
Why do you get high
To change the seat you're in?
In time, you won't come back again
What mood is that you wear this time?
Why do you get high
To change the seat you're in?
In time, you won't come back again
High, high, high
High, high, high
Make light of the weight
Time off from hell
I could be in these are the words you say
What mood is that you wear this time?
Why do you get high
To change the seat and complicate things?
High, high, high
High, high, high
What does it take to get you high?
What will it take to get me high?
What does it take to get us high?
Whatever it takes to get you high?
High, high
You don't like me when I'm high
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
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

Ooh, what'd you leave for me
Neil miller
Mama's got a girlfriend, mom loves the ladies
Mama's really happy when you're looking at her these
days
Papa's got a boyfriend, yeah, Dad is a man's man
Everybody's family, loving everybody he can
Oh the old world is turning around like a top
and there's nothing you and I should even try to do to
stop it
It takes a lot of courage to stand up and get what you
need
And lots of us are happy in a different kind of family
Hot time in the old town, the homestead is hopping
Veggies on the grill and there is music in the garden
All the outs are in free, the babies are sleeping
Time enough for love when everybody puts a hand in
Oh the old world is turning around like a top
And there' s nothing you or I should even try to do to
stop it
Ozzy & Harriet are spinning around in their graves
But who needs television these days, anyway?
Love defines it's boundaries
Limitless shapes, countless forms
I have vowed that when it comes to me I'll take it
Every manifestation, I'm gonna celebrate it
Papa's got a boyfriend, the boyfriend loves mom, too
Everywhere they turn they've got a heart that they can
cling to
Mama's got a girlfriend, and guess who loves dad's beau
Try to paint a picture, you can do it with your eyes
closed
Oh the old world is turning around like a top
And there' s nothing you or I should even try to do to
stop it
There aren't any limits when you follow the line that
love leads
And lots of us are happy in a different kind of family
In a world that seems to be increasing in conformity
It's harder and harder to be who you want to be
It takes a lot of courage to stand up and get what you
need
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?

Come on [x3]
Motherfucker
Come on [x14]
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

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

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.)
All my family are here
All my family I know they'll forget me
And now I'm gone
All my family are here
All my family I feel they're around me
Around my corpse
Here we go!
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.
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
Ch: 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
Ch: 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
Ch: Give me some place that I can go
Where I don't have to justify myself
Swimming out alone against this tide
[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?
[edited out] suck a fat dick, as you gotta understand and testify
[edited out] is a fat bitch, better understand and recognize
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
I'm on stage tellin' my fans that you suck dick
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
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
Your head is square, your shoulders are bombs
Your arms as long as my own, as my own
Your elbows don't move, your feet they don't talk
We look so strange when we sit in the dark
Your mind is alive, I never quite know
What you will think of when I will say so
Your finger's don't grow, your knees smell like soap
When we say goodnight It's just saying hello
Off with your head, off with your head
Remember what you saw
Remember what you said
Off with your head, off with your head
Remember what you saw
Remember what you said
When we reach the city, you'll tell us to shut
The fumes from these cocktails are burnt on our tongues
You sit on the steps, schooling on the words
Of various prominent authors
You tell me the truth, you tell me you'll call
When I lean to warm you your lips whispered 'oh'
The train smells like wine, the windows are fogged
? in the dark
Off with your head, off with your head
Remember what you saw
Remember what you said
Off with your head, off with your head
Remember what you saw
Remember what you said
Off with your head, off with your head
Remember what you saw
Remember what you said
Remember, recall
Oh god remember, please remember
Recall what you said
Off with your head
When we reach the end, I'll hold you again
I'll wrap you in sleep, oh at least I'll pretend
I'll block out the sun, we lie in the breath
A new day is breaking but this one is dead
Where have you come from?
Where are you going?
Tell me what's brought you here now
And is your heart singing?
Then share what you're bringing
We all are a part of the show
'Cause we are all going home
'Cause we are a family
And we are all going home
Are you listening? We are all going home
So come join the family
'Cause we are all going home
But is your heart quiet?
Is something not right?
Can you tell me what's blocking your way?
Well, just ask the father
He knows every problem
He'll carry that burden away
'Cause we are all going home
'Cause we are a family
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
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
When it rains it pours
So they're dying like flies
Got me kinda scared to go outdoors
I had a cousin named Ant
Dead, they say the young man only died by the head
The streets all we got it
Boys gon' be boys, me in ya hype
Teach your son to like guns with toys
Now what we supposed to do
When you know you gotta get ya kid enrolled in school?
So you start hanging 'round with the local crew
Have a smoke or two
Start kicking 'em a joke or two
Tell me what the parent's supposed to do?
Go tell momma
(Go tell momma)
To go ask daddy
(To go ask daddy)
That since when was the last time
We were a family
Like we supposed to be
Brothas and sistas
(Brothas and sistas)
Achi cousins I love you
(Achi cousins I love you)
And sometimes we as family
We don't do what we supposed to
So I say
Family, yeah, family
Family, yeah
1979 that's when my momma had me
2006, her oldest son is a daddy
Check it, I got two daughters of my own
They say I degrade women
But they degrade they self
They didn't have help, growing up
She had a dead beat momma
And a dead beat dad
She go and shake, shakes quick in the club
Drop it like it's hot
I tell my kids what to do
And what to do not
I'm a grown and
I gotta feed my kids
So I teach them the right
And wrong way to live
If you feel bad
You need to stop shaking, shaking
And your parents won't be so mad
Might smile at you
If you keep shaking your *** in the club
Ying Yang gon' show you love
Listen, I keep stressing to my daughters stay in school
Learn all you can, yes, I'm a real family man
Go tell momma
(Go tell momma)
To go ask daddy

And sometimes we as family
We don't do what we supposed to
So I say
Family, yeah, family
Family, yeah

I wanna break the music down for a minute
I wanna say something to us
You know I say us 'cause we are a people
We all are equal
If you love your sister, your brother
Your father, your mother
Clap yo' hands
Clap yo' hands
Clap yo' hands
Clap yo' hands
Family, family

And sometimes we as family
We don't do what we supposed to
So I say
Family, family
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
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,
All life for me
Is my brothers, my friends
I know, that without you nowhere to go
Together we’re one family
Loyalty till death. From me to you
I believe, that all together up to the end
Doesn’t matter how much there will be barriers and shit
Everything will pass away, our family
Never shall I turn away from you
I hope the same as you from me
Here is no need in empty phrases
blue-grey housewith hardwood floors
and loving family
your best friend
would ride her trusty bike
across town just to see you
you think about family an awful lot
i don't blame you a single bit
things will get much worse if you think too hard
you know, that brain of yours just needs to quit
hold your head very high
you should be so proud that they've come this far
japanese new year
with home cooked food
your mother made enough to last
and look at your brother now
he's sober
no more blow or smoking grass
you think about family an awful lot
i don't blame you a single bit
things will get much worse if you think too hard
you know, that brain of yours just needs to quit
hold your head very high
you should be so proud that they've come this far
as have you, all alone
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..
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
Yeah youknahmsayin? Not for nuttin baby
Knahmsayin wanna give a shout out to my peoples
YouknowhatImean? Gamble, Ill Will
Killa Black, my brother
It's never gonna be another
Word up..
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
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

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
