Family ties, family of five
Dad left, I went jail
Mum kept the family alive
Just her and the twins
Money so low, she had to cancel the Sky
Late night running out of elekky
What you know about candle for light?
All I know is survival
I learned that from Karen and life
Same old cycle
Nanny was right
I come from where the mothers are worried
Sun comes up and the sons aren't coming
Can't keep food in my room
Cah I know if my mum finds that, then mum's gonna flush it
Now I owe the big man P's
And I gotta go country for nothing
I know the road ting well
I been who I see all these youngers becoming
I got one little cousin who's just like I was
He's about fourteen now
And it's mad cah I ask myself where the time's gone
Gotta lead by example
Show the yute I'm a higher man
Mic on
Let bygones be bygones
I told you I'm blessed, my guy
I've replaced that 'ex' with and 'i'
That's why they call me an icon
Blood's 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 no more 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-can't-top-this pinnacle love
That spiritual love
That's that original love
Our family, proud family from our granny to my children
Mum, you raised a real one
My nephew coming soon
Got a cousin I ain't spoken to in years
I still got love for you
Proud, proud family
Proud family from our granny to my children
Mum, you raised a real one
My nephew coming soon
Got a cousin I ain't spoken to in years
And I still got love for you, yeah, hmm
My son's one and my daughter's eight
And all that time I ain't caught a case
Long time I ain't been active
I just been milking this rap shit
I don't know nothin' 'bout corn and flake
If I let somethin' slide, you ain't worth the twenty-five
That's for my son and my daughter's sake
I come from where our father figures are the hardest niggas
Shottas, robbers, heartless killers
This can't be the image, but that's only half of the picture
Mum let her boys get away with murder
But she went hard on my sister
Part of my history
Family affair, they all part of my victory
I am no fatherless infant
But I was brought up with my auintie's assistance
And even though I don't live where I grew up
I still can't keep my distance
How could I let my kids only ever say "Father" at Christmas?
I got kids relying on me
I can't keep the iron on me
Babe, you can sleep on Ghetts, but please stop lying on me
My baby mummy's 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-can't-top-this pinnacle love
That spiritual love
That's that original love
Our family, proud family from our granny to my children
Mum, you raised a real one
My nephew coming soon
Got a cousin I ain't spoken to in years
I still got love for you
Proud, proud family
Proud family from our granny to my children
Mum, you raised a real one
My nephew coming soon
Got a cousin I ain't spoken to in years
And I still got love for you, yeah, hmm
Our family, proud family from our granny to my children
Mum, you raised a real one
My nephew coming soon
Got a cousin I ain't spoken to in years
And I still got love for you
Yeah, proud family
Proud family from our granny to my children
Mum, you raised a real one
My nephew coming soon
Got a cousin I ain't spoken to in years
And I still got love for you
