[Verse 1 - MJ] My family's not perfect, but they're perfect for me Know they love me, would do anything for me When I reach a new level I'mma meet a new devil I'm young, tryin' to find my place in this world Hate seeing the ones I love in pain Problems on top of f**ing problems Lord knows I'm tryin' to find a way Don't no money will bring us closer But it's tearing us apart Don't no money will bring us closer But it's tearing us apart I got a good head on my shoulders Need a cry? Here's my shoulder, here for you On everything I love, you are everything I love That's on everything I love [Chorus] Cause it's family over everything Over everything Over everything Family over everything Cause it's family over everything Over everything You can call me If you need anything Cause it's family over everything Over everything Over everything Family over everything Cause it's family over everything Hey, hey, hey At the end, that's all I have [Verse 2 - GLC] They show support when you're on that lonely path You look up and you find out that that's all you have My sister [?] and when mama died She put her life on hold only so that I could shine My brother got that cancer but he gon' survive And we gon' keep partyin' like '99 My n***as is my brothers, [?] not my guys Trials and tribulations, that's what make you wise It's hard to be honest in the face of lies n***as get more time for conspiracy than takin' lives Don't rush your hustle seriously just take your time I help you face your issues as if they was mine Haters hate, they don't wanna see you shine ?? man, it's nothin' over family ties My man came home, he took the honor roll My nephew snapped out, he made the honor roll [Chorus] [Bridge] All my n***as from the Chi That's my family, dog Now my n***as from Paris That's my family, dog Feel like one day You'll understand me, dog You can still love your man And be manly, dog [Verse 3 - Twista] Twista!
