Family Issues/Truth Is

Family Issues

[Verse 1]
I have a lot of friends, i have a lot of fam, i have a lot of family, that's blood related
I know i shouldn't do it, but i gotta say it
God damnit, i hate family reunions, and family ain't blood, it's whoever you're choosing
I've felt more at home with these people that i'm running with
Than with my family and they don't even notice it
I've seen my mama get back stabbed too many times
By the people who say they have love for her inside
But on the outside looking in, all i see's a fucking lie
And if the shoe fits, you can wear it too
My mama gon' hear this and look straight at you
Just take care of you and your people, close the blinds, no need to show off for the people outside
Look in the mirror ask whatchu you looking for
Look all around you, you have it all, whatchu looking for?

[Hook x2]
I have a lot on my mind, all this weight on my shoulders, and a bunch of things to get off of my chest
I could say it out loud but no one would listen
But once it's in a song, i have their attention

[Verse 2]
My little cousin having problems at home, i told her to come through for the summer
Got you a job, you could come and work with us
That'd be too lit, few weeks, if we don't get fired, we all gon' quit
Nah i'm playing, but really, you should come through and have the summer of your life
You're acting kinda iffy but you know that i'm right
And i don't really understand what your fear is
You're afraid that your mom gon' disown you, well shit, now i guess you don't have anything to fear kid
Too far? nah not far enough
Cause i still have a full clip, nothing left the chamber
But i'll put that on safety and save that for later
But shit, it's all love because we're family right?
Treat each other like shit because we're family right?
(It doesn't make sense)
Whatever, i'm gone

I have a lot on my mind
Lot on my mind
Lot on my mind, lot on my mind

Truth Is

[Hook]
I want you to know
I want you to know
I want you to know
I just need you to know

[Verse 1]
The truth is this project was for fun and it's an even funnier story of how it came about
I was at work joking around with ruben and dan
Then dan said yo jordan when is tloj coming out?
I said this month and it'll be the hottest thing that you hear and then i laughed and then we all laughed for the next 5 hours
But i guess it was one of those thing where you really had to be there
They were off at 7, and i was there til 8
In that hour i thought, 23 years old, 21 projects, it's not too late
To try something new, i can grow, i can evolve
I can rap and we all know it, but it ain't good enough
And no this isn't me giving up, i'm taking care of my time, trust me you'll know what's up
Right now no one listens when i talk and they don't notice us
The truth is this isn't a song i'm just speaking my mind
I'm just speaking my mind

[Hook]
I want you to know
I want you to know
I want you to know
I just need you to know

[Verse 2]
The truth is, i miss my dad a lot
The truth is, i missed my cousin too
The truth is i saw my aunt trace for the first time in so long and when we said bye i almost cried
The truth is, i have a heart, i feel everything, i just play it smart or cool or whatever
The truth is i want my little cousin to come live with us but the fact is that she won't and i know
I sat at the table across from my idol, we talked music, i was happy, but i know that we're supposed to be rivals
He gave me all the tips and the tricks that he knows and i played stupid 'cause i'm all for the show
But the truth is, i been doing this
And it seems like everyone i know wanna have an opinion on it
And when i try to speak about it, they don't let me speak about it
They act like they know my art better than me
They act like they can see something that i can't see
So yeah the truth is, this was all just for fun
My 22nd project, could it be the one or is it just another one?
The truth is, i don't really think i have fans
Just a couple friends who will listen every now and then
But won't tell their friends, it's the truth and you know it man
