Ghetts - Proud Family lyrics

Family ties Family of five Dad left I went jail Mum kept the family inline Just her and the twins Money so low she had to cancel the sky Late night running out of ellecy What you know about candle for light All I know is survival I learnt that from Karen and life Same old cycle Nanny was right I come from where the mothers are worried Sun comes up and they're sons are haven't come in Cant keep food in my room cah I know if my mum finds that then mums flush it Now I owe the big man PS And I gotta go country for nothing I know the road ting well I been who I see these youngers becoming I got one little cousin who's just like I was Hes about 14 now and it's mad cah I ask myself where the time's gone Gotta lead by example Show the yout dem what I'm on Mic on Let bygons be bygons I told you I'm blessed my guy I replaced that X with an I That's why they call me an icon Bloods 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 nom ore 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 cant top this pinnacle love That spiritual love That's that original love Our family Proud family From my granny to my children Mum you raised a real one My nephew coming soon Got a cousin I ain't spoken to in years But I still got love for you Proud Proud family Proud family From my granny to my children Mum you raised a real one My nephew coming soon Got a cousin I ain't spoken to in years But I still got love for you My sons one and my daughters eight In all that time I ain't caught a case Long time I ain't been active I just been milking this rap sh*t I don't know nothing bout corn and flake If I let something slide You ain't worth the 25 That's for my son and my daughters sake I come from where our father figures Are the hardest ni**as Shotters, robbers Heartless killers This cant be the image But that's only half of the picture Mum let her boys get away with murder But she was hard on my sister Pardon my history Family affair they all part of my victory I am no fatherless infant But I was brought up with my aunties assistance And even though I don't live where I grew up I still cant keep my distance How can I let my kids only ever say father at Christmas I got kids relying on me I cant keep the iron on me Babe can sleep on Ghetts but please stop lying on me My babymum is 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 cant top this pinnacle love That spiritual love That's that original love Our family Proud family From my granny to my children Mum you raised a real one My nephew coming soon Got a cousin I ain't spoken to in years But I still got love for you
