Family Ties

I was never taught to be great
Seen a lot a heat but never had a fireplace
See my mother got beat and my brother tend tape
I was just a little kid wishing he just had a cape
I'm wishing we could just squeeze
Screaming mommy don't stay but mommy wouldn't leave
What she did was go to jake's next day
He was free 'cause she was on the pace
Players were on the week that my daddy would play
Every time my mom flies she was far away
Mommy knew she was great so she and l stay
Somebody did it that she was out by the gate
She was looking at ten but the lawyer beat the case
By the grace and the power and the mercy of the state
Made a lot of money but she never owned a safe
Chick said the cash point all I did was great
Hoping that my mother will be happy for a day
Call we never had light that he never had to stay
But we celebrate him when we sent him to ja
Nobody never liked that nigga like the jake's white god
Why didn't strike that nigga running bling
Never smoked cigs never smoked maryjane
But I get high off the force in my brain
Never smoked weed never smoked maryjane
But I get high off the force in my brain
And all is you hmhmhm
And all is you hmmhmhm
When you go round hmmhmhm
I'm over you hmmhmhm
I'm crying waterfalls
Someone pass me a light
I need to find a way to escape a mind
Where will I get drawn out of life
And sometime
Crying waterfalls waterfalls
Waterfalls waterfalls waterfalls
Waterfalls waterfalls waterfalls
Waterfalls waterfalls waterfalls
As a little year I never had a lot of faith
Go christmas santa never came
And then my brother wanted presents
I go out and go and get
Come my brother I was jumping in the rain
'Cause I remember when I caught my first case
I was fooled and l was in the fast lane
More and four I wasn't crosses I got my arsenic medicine
I was sent across eight
What do you expect when you got a half eight
The man his little sister share a half plate
I ain't gonna lie all this motherfucking hungry
Sat on my shoulders and say slash his own plate
I know I'm gonna eat but cool course eight
It's still good to be a man 'cause I showed a man hate
Used to be a used to I can't be ashamed
Daddy ain't around and see this how it ate
Every change I goin' away
Going to drop all these on the estate
Said it needed running I was running all day
Just to make sure I got trainers in the fade
I didn't care if or where I could save
Took pride in others and added to my name
I don't care if he dove from my pain
True stories hustle is relate
I'm crying waterfalls
Someone pass me a light
I need to find a way to escape a mind
Where will I get drawn out of life
And sometime
Crying waterfalls waterfalls
Waterfalls waterfalls waterfalls
Waterfalls waterfalls waterfalls
Waterfalls waterfalls waterfalls
Waterfalls
