Proud Family

歌詞

Family ties, family of five Dad left, I went jail Mum kept the family alive Just her and the twins Money so low, she had to cancel the Sky Late night running out of elekky What you know about candle for light? All I know is survival I learned that from Karen and life Same old cycle Nanny was right I come from where the mothers are worried Sun comes up and the sons aren't coming Can't keep food in my room Cah I know if my mum finds that, then mum's gonna flush it Now I owe the big man P's And I gotta go country for nothing I know the road ting well I been who I see all these youngers becoming I got one little cousin who's just like I was He's about fourteen now And it's mad cah I ask myself where the time's gone Gotta lead by example Show the yute I'm a higher man Mic on Let bygones be bygones I told you I'm blessed, my guy I've replaced that 'ex' with and 'i' That's why they call me an icon Blood's thicker than- Friends come and go, most ain't lifelong And the ones that are become family And that's my family aside from the usual suspects Can't take no more funerals You see the suit, but death ain't a suitable subject So much to live for outside my musical success Unconditional love That get-through-anything miracle love That nothing-can't-top-this pinnacle love That spiritual love That's that original love Our family, proud family from our granny to my children Mum, you raised a real one My nephew coming soon Got a cousin I ain't spoken to in years I still got love for you Proud, proud family Proud family from our granny to my children Mum, you raised a real one My nephew coming soon Got a cousin I ain't spoken to in years And I still got love for you, yeah, hmm My son's one and my daughter's eight And all that time I ain't caught a case Long time I ain't been active I just been milking this rap shit I don't know nothin' 'bout corn and flake If I let somethin' slide, you ain't worth the twenty-five That's for my son and my daughter's sake I come from where our father figures are the hardest niggas Shottas, robbers, heartless killers This can't be the image, but that's only half of the picture Mum let her boys get away with murder But she went hard on my sister Part of my history Family affair, they all part of my victory I am no fatherless infant But I was brought up with my auntie's assistance And even though I don't live where I grew up I still can't keep my distance How could I let my kids only ever say "Father" at Christmas? I got kids relying on me I can't keep the iron on me Babe, you can sleep on Ghetts, but please stop lying on me My baby mummy's a keeper, I just do what she requires of me The last time me and Jess spoke, I said, "Don't go dying on me" Unconditional love That get-through-anything miracle love That nothing-can't-top-this pinnacle love That spiritual love That's that original love Our family, proud family from our granny to my children Mum, you raised a real one My nephew coming soon Got a cousin I ain't spoken to in years I still got love for you Proud, proud family Proud family from our granny to my children Mum, you raised a real one My nephew coming soon Got a cousin I ain't spoken to in years And I still got love for you, yeah, hmm Our family, proud family from our granny to my children Mum, you raised a real one My nephew coming soon Got a cousin I ain't spoken to in years And I still got love for you Yeah, proud family Proud family from our granny to my children Mum, you raised a real one My nephew coming soon Got a cousin I ain't spoken to in years And I still got love for you
