[Verse 1:]
I had a partner named Courtney, DEAD!
Pulled by a van, blood gone from his head
I had another partner named Terry, DEAD!
Tried to flee the scene
Before they hit'em wit the left
My grandma always said
When it rains it pours
Niggas dying like flies
Got me kinda scared to go out doors
I had a cousin named Ant, DEAD!
They say the young man only died by the head
The streets all we got it
Boys gon' be boys
And in ya hype,
Teach your son to like guns with toys
Now what we supposed to do
When you know you gotta get ya kid enrolled in school
So you start hanging round with the local crew
Have a smoke or two
Start kicking him a joke or two
Tell me what the parent's supposed to do?
[Chorus:]
Go tell momma (Go tell momma)
To go ask daddy (To go ask daddy)
Since when was the last time
We were a family
Like we supposed to be
Brothas and sistas (Brothas and sistas)
Achi cousins I love you (Achi cousins I love you)
Sometimes we as family
We don't do what we supposed to
So I say
Familay-iiieee!!!
Yeah, Family
Familay-iiieee!!!
(Yeah)
[Verse 2:]
1979, that's when my momma had me
2006, her oldest son is a daddy
Check it
I got two daughters of my own
They say I degrade women
But they degrade they self
They didn't have help growing up
She had a dead beat momma
And a dead beat daddy
She go and shake her ass quick, in the club
Drop it like it's hot
I tell my kids what to do
And what to do not
I'm a grown ass man
I gotta feed my kids
So I teach them the right and wrong way to live
If you feel bad
You need to stop shaking ya ass
And your parents won't be so mad
Might smile at'cha
If you keep shaking your ass in the club
Ying Yang gon' show you love
Listen
I keep stressing to my daughters stay in school
Learn all you can
Yes, I'm a real family man
HAAAAH!!!
[Chorus:]
Go tell momma (Go tell momma)
To go ask daddy (To go ask daddy)
Since when was the last time
We were a family
Like we supposed to be (Familay-iiieee!!!)
Brothas and sistas (Brothas and sistas)
Achi cousins I love you (Achi cousins I love you)
Sometimes we as family
We don't do what we supposed to
So I say
Familay-iiieee!!!
Yeah, Family
Familay-iiieee!!!
(Yeah)
[Verse 3:]

Sometimes we as family
We don't do what we supposed to
So I say
