Family Portrait
sittin in my room with posters of pac and em
i pick a pen up and is start writin
family wernt there but i think a lot of them
put on a front but my hearts cryin
i thank god that i have got my pen
we all need a buildin zone
imagine a young boy feelin alone
parents not there to hug me
moved from foster familys to childrens homes
not once have my parens said they luv me
love and hate dont know if i know the diffrence
family wernt there but i grow to miss em
feel unhappy at birthdays and low at christmas
made it this far tryna go the distance
i dont wanna blow the mission
family love is supose to be unconditional
they dont even call to say son im missin u
comes 2 girls cant find the one im stickin 2
2 many trust issues and insecurities
but my fam i cant run from missin you
your all like there goes him
he raps he shouldent compare those sins
im gettin high on rap
while my fam get high on heroin
