Family Straight Lyrics - Da Realist - Plies

[Intro: Plies - talkin'] 

I know sum people that say money change thangs 

I'm hear to tell you money don't change every muthafuckin thing 

[Chorus:] 

Last ten years momma been workin' twice a day 

Grandma on a kidney machine, she done lost all the weight 

My aunty got AIDS, she startin' to lose her faith 

My brutha back in prison, second time he gone away 

My daddy still smokin' dat shit I can see it in his face 

My cousin 16 pregnant from a nigga 38 

Tryna stay on my son, make sure he doin what his mama say 

Before ya take me God, help me get my family straight

[Verse 1:] 

I asked God why he didn't bless me with a silver spoon 

Cause if he did I'd never have to be a goon 

If he gon' change my family, I hope he change it soon 

I'm tired of answerin' my phone hearin' bad news 

My grandma on a walker she can barely move 

Just to tell me she love me take all her breath to do 

She on a kidney machine I kno it's hurtin' her 2 

Four times a week gotta get her blood drew 

She say the bible and prayer the only thing that get her through 

Why my grandma deserve this, god what did she do? 

Thought caus' I had a lil money I could buy her a new 

She hold the family together, she one I cant loose 

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:] 

My aunty got AIDS and I'm watchin her suffer 

Why she gotta die caus' she was in love with a hustler 

Even tho she's dying she say she still love him 

I kno if I see him again I'll kill dat muthafucker 

Only get 15 minutes to talk to my brutha 

Cause he in prison gotta go see him if I wanna hug him 

Sum niggas willin to loose their freedom just for thuggin 

Caus' he made a mistake gotta be here caus' I love him 

Uncle just called me found out his daughter fuckin, 

fuckin when they get 14 now like its nothing 

In da hood it's happenin' 10 out of a dozen 

Dat nigga her daddy age dat is fuckin my lil cousin 

[Chorus] 

[Verse 3:] 

My daddy damn near 50 still livin' with his momma 

Can't even have a family reunion caus' it's always drama 

Last three months I dun lost both of my uncles 

Why my family luck so bad, I sit and wonder 

We ain't close like we should and its taken us under 

The only time we come together is to have a funeral 

Sit around and talk about each other and spread rumors 

Know it's some of my fault caus' I don't talk to 'em 

For my family to be happy, that's all I want 

Help my grandma fight, god I know she don't 

To see my mama retire, that's all I want 

Hope my brutha get out to see his kids for once.
