Infamous - Family Straight lyrics

[Produced by Infamous] [Intro] I know some people used to say money change thangs (They say money change thangs) Pssh I'm hear to tell you money don't change every motherf**in thang (Change every motherf**in thang) [Hook] Last ten years momma been workin twice a day Grandma on a kidney machine, she done lost all the weight My auntie got AIDS, she startin to lose her faith My brother back in prison, second time he gone away My daddy still smokin thatat sh** I can see it in his face My cousin sixteen, pregnant from a n***a thirty-eight Tryin stay on my son, make sure he doin what his momma say Before you take me God, help me get my family straight [Plies] I asked God why he ain't bless me with a silver spoon Cause if he did then I'da never had to be a goon If he gon' change my family, I hope he change it soon I'm tired of answerin my phone and 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 know it's hurtin her too Fo' times a week gotta get her blood drew She say the bible and prayer only thang that get her through Why my grandma deserve this, God what did she do? Thought cause I had a lil money kidney I could buy her new She hold the family together, she the one I can't loose [Hook] [Plies] My auntie got AIDS and I'm watchin her suffer Why she gotta die cause she was in love with a hustler? Even though she dyin she say she still love him Know if I see him again I'd k** that motherf**er Only get fifteen minutes to talk to my brother Cause he in prison gotta go see him if I wanna hug him Some n***as willin to lose they freedom just for thuggin Cause he made a mistake gotta be here cause I love him Uncle just called me, found out his daughter f**in f**in when they get fourteen now like its nothin In the hood it's happenin ten out a dozen The n***a her daddy age that's f**in my lil' cousin [Hook] [Plies] My daddy damn near fifty still livin with his momma Can't even have a family reunion cause it's always drama Last three months I done lost both of my uncles Why my family luck so bad? I sit and wonder We ain't close like we should and it's 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 cause 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 momma retire, that's all I want Hope my brother get out to see his kids for once
