Family Roots

[Intro]
Uhh, yeah
I ain’t even got no wisdom right now, so imma just smoke on this joint ya dig
Yeah, uhh
Look
Vibe with me

[Verse ]
I ain’t finna call you no hoe, cause I know what you’ve been through
But you shouldn’t just let any nigga cum in your temple
That pussy sacred, the birth of life, mother nature
You need a crib with no neighbors, that mule and that 40 acres
I thought you was real, found out you a rat
Only the people closest to you can stab you in the back
And I don’t need no followers, I need people that’s gone support it
You may not believe in me, but I do and that’s most important
I thank God everyday that my momma didn’t abort me
She was only 16 and alone, she couldn’t afford me
And my pops, he just hit it and quit it, wasn’t no sympathy
And she could see me the day she lost her virginity, then left with my grandmother
Momma wasn’t always there for us, but I still love her, that goes for me, my lil sisters, and my lil brothers
Ain’t no father figure around , but shit I got it covered
My uncle killed his own stepfather in broad day
On broad day, he took a life and threw his own away
My other uncle, he been down for like 16
But I can’t be no statistic cause I got big dreams, you heard
I got lil brothers and sisters who need some on their plate
Plus I got a lil daughter and a son on the way
And my grandmother sick,I see the stress on her face
Cause every time I go outside, it’s like I’m catching a case
Got me walking in the courts like fuck the D-8
Cuz he don’t care about my life, he tryna lock me away like I’m just another nigga in the system
But I won’t play the victim because I knew better and still ain’t listened
But fuck a 9 to 5, we struggling to survive, working that double shift, so I hustle to stay alive
And plus I’m tryna ball like them rappers do, so I got a package through when I’m clocking in on the avenue
If money wasn’t everything, why we cherish it proudly
And Wu said,”Cash rules everything around me”
I was 18 when they first locked me in that county, with no commissary, we was scrapping over brownies
But I ain’t tryna preach to you,nigga I ain’t no reverend
Sometimes I wonder if they even let me into heaven
Because it’s been a minute I had church up on my schedule
I’m a man of God, but I’ve been walking with the Devil for real
