Family

Family I've been at the deepest boroughs with them In deep having real conversations, and for a moment I thought That finally I'd gotten through them Only to be disappointed all over It's like everytime I find something meaningful with them They throw it out with the trash And I have to try again hoping to keep it going Only to be hurt cause they never learn They're just those irreplaceable pricks Pricks that you cut and move them out your lawn Cause they'll be mowing you up Mowing whatever sprouts of hope you have It's like they don't want you growing with them Distancing themself with anything yours And still be the ones to say you not giving effort Saying all sorts of things that break you to hear Family I've fought wars in their name Saying that nobody should talk ill of us While they're the ones making us lose respect With the wrong moves cause they rush things Not even taking a second to reflect before they act And it hurts more when you realize That all your life they've downplayed you You like the cards that are not drawn Cause you a hand they're not dealing Only to find you winning even before you start For you never wish them bad and that's why you get more The PO£T
