Family Values Lyrics - Chris Xyztus

VERSE 1 

Jesus Christ saw the need to be born in an earthly family 

Reasons being a child needs to be raised in a Godly family 

So mummies and daddies do you still reminisce 

When we lived happily as one big family 

When mummy held my hands and thought me how to pray 

And daddy held my hands and help me knot my ties 

Family is the cell upon which many nations have sprung up 

Them say the Friday wey go good, na from Monday them know dey know am 

A nation wey go better, na the families wey add to make am 

All this memories have increases my pain 

So I have one question to ask 

CHORUS 

What has happened to the family? 

So many broken homes, non-praying homes 

What's going on?

What has happened to the family? 

No meal time prayers, no bedtime stories 

What's going on? 

What has happened to the family? 

Family values are fading away x2 

VERSE 2 

Many kids are being raised by only a mother or a father 

But it's not like the other parent is dead 

Parents fight before kids, show them bad examples to follow 

You know I reminisce, when I was a kid 

I'll come back home with stolen pencils and bics 

You know I reminisce, when I was a kid 

I was made to regret that I ever smoked cigarette 

When my mama heard, she had to kneel me down 

My dad will beat me up to give me discipline 

Hit me with the left hand and raise me with the right 

Cos all they wanted to do was ensure they raised me right

CHORUS 

What has happened to the family? 

So many broken homes, non-praying homes 

What's going on? 

What has happened to the family? 

No meal time prayers, no bedtime stories 

What's going on? 

What has happened to the family? 

Family values are fading away x2 

VERSE 3 

This thing that I'm saying 

Say it's hurting me it's paining me 

I don't know how to express it 

Except through this my music 

I wish that you could see it just the same way that I see it 

The family values, they are fading away 

When last did you sit down with your family at home? 

Telling them stories of when you young 

When last did you sit down with your family at home? 

Telling them stories of when you young 

When last did you go out on a holiday? 

Telling your spouse and your children of how you love them 

You blame the schools, you blame the church 

And you blame the system, what of your family 

That is the reason why Jesus came into the world through the family, the family 

Start from the family, the family, the family 

Start from the family 

Stop blaming the government 

Start from the family 

God bless the family
