Family
Who is family?
Is it your own flesh and blood?
Or a really great friend
You can't ever tell which one will be a dud
What exactly is family
People who are there through all the ups and down's
They wouldn't abandon you when you need 'em the most
They listen when you need to talk instead of drown out the sound
Family should have your back
Whether they agree with you or not
And when they disagree they shouldn't say a word
Just stick behind you instead of leaving you to rot
When bad things happen
Is when you find out who family is
It's pathetic that it has to happen that way
But that's when you usually get dissed
Family can be anyone
But its those who stick by your side
That are truly family
And not just a stranger along for the ride.
