joey cool - family lyrics
[verse 1: joey cool]
now i ain’t never been a model citizen or son
and that’s why i ain’t expecting the lord to give me one
and i ain’t proud, i broke a lot of hearts, had plenty fun
been acting reckless, been running round here with the midi sc-m
don’t be ridiculous i know i gotta catch the karma
and i can lie and say i changed it when i have my daughter
it took a couple years for me to see that my persona
was nothing but a web of lies, i’m high on my dishonor
the realest men i knew in life i met when i was three
all biological is gone so i should let it be
i guess i probably could’ve met ’em as a youth but i
i never got the chance, two committed suicide
and i ain’t telling you about it for the sympathy
the simple fact is that he probably wasn’t meant for me
let me rephrase it yo, it probably wasn’t meant for me
it’s just my story, man, it’s all a part of history
[pre-hook: joey cool]
i guess my chronicles done made me be the man i am
i guess that’s why i’m such a sucker for the familam
i guess that’s why i treat my friends like i got 20 brothers
i guess it’s all about the family that’s why they love us
[hook: bill johnson]
if you ride it though you can lose your way
better catch the pieces if you break
we had our ups and downs, but we’ll be okay
what more can i say?
we’re family, family
if you ride it though you can lose your way
better catch the pieces if you break
we had our ups and downs, but we’ll be okay
what more can i say?
we’re family, family, family
[verse 2: joey cool]
my mother climbed the corporate ladder from the city streets
and to be honest, being black this year is real unique
so i don’t hear you when you say you can’t get out the hood
i hate explaining anything that should be understood
i finally did a song with someone that i’ve idolized
since i was little, count your blessings, that’s what i’d advise
and now i finally feel it in me as if i’ve arrived
they tell me i’m the second coming because i’ve got his eyes
they used to call him black sinatra, they just call me sw-nky
i’m drifting to another place, i let the music take me
at times, what makes you grow a little is a rude awakening
i keep the family close cause they don’t be the ones that’s faking
don’t ever go against us
so many vultures missed us
the slander and abuse
the truth, it made us vicious
be careful who you lettin’ sit up at the table with ya
and i been rocking with my people since them baby pictures
[pre-hook: joey cool]
i guess my chronicles done made me be the man i am
i guess that’s why i’m such a sucker for the familam
i guess that’s why i treat my friends like i got 20 brothers
i guess it’s all about the family that’s why they love us
[hook: bill johnson]
if you ride it though you can lose your way
better catch the pieces if you break
we had our ups and downs, but we’ll be okay
what more can i say?
we’re family, family
if you ride it though you can lose your way
better catch the pieces if you break
we had our ups and downs, but we’ll be okay
what more can i say?
we’re family, family, family
[outro: bill johnson]
we’re family, family, family
we’re family, family, family
