Muphin - Family Affair lyrics

[Verse 1] Connected by blood and a blind love Several hugs and circuitry plugs I dug to find the real reason This man finds it so hard to express what he believes in Demons are genetic and habits die as pathetic An epidemic, plague of racism Children are given this prison of diluted thoughts Anger watches on the sidelines as they play sport Split-ups and divorce, messy court scenarios Quicker than Mario, pistachio parents Nutters, academic clutters Over-protective mothers smother with affection Unable to stand up and seek some direction Collection of memories in stills Weed, booze and an overflow of pills Everything paid for to swimming in bills Ill, sick, standoffish Snobbish traits, learn from your parents mistakes Love, hate and screams Family ties broken down by the lies The truth shoots through the seems You know what? The truth shoots through the seems [Verse 2] You gave me life and I can never forget it Raised me right and I'll always respect it Just hope I've never been something you ever regretted Embedded with memories both good and bad Happy and sad, glad that I can't really complain Though at times I felt you were ashamed There's more to me than my name And no two families could ever be the same And you may blame it on the rain But the puddle will show our reflection, spill our confessions Nah boy, I think I've learnt my lesson Could do without the lecturing But do you really know me or is it all just guessing? Lessen the load, because this brain is about to explode And seep out everything you loathe And when I go I hope we stay in contact And forget about the combat Concerned that I was always on tap, or off You didn't really know what could barely wash your watch Hoping I would stop this drinking And start thinking, conflicting Because we are so different Or maybe it was just instinct And I think that no family is perfect Words from a wordsmith Uh ha, uh ha And this goes out to my immediate family To my mates and my girl, you're part of my family And to my Hip Hop family All these families have shown me a whole heap of support And I just want you to know that I'm there for you
