Morals

MORALS
For my family
I will never down another
From the beginning my mother sat me down 
And explain we were to raise from the gutter 
Say child ,look at your sister than you look at your brother
Because in the end their going to be the one you have to take in
And they going to be the ones you won’t be trusting
Do realize some will feed you a lot of lies
And family would believe you ‘re hypotize 
Due to your blood ties
But always remember from the beginning to the end 
From the beginning to the end
For than I come to them asking for more than I need 
But worst more than they can give
From my own family want to take their last 
To feed my greed
I know the using than the abusing 
But the same hands that gave pull away
Seeing that I could only lead the way
By myself no one else
than when falling went to reach for help
Pulled back in 
Cold shoulders gave to me
Hard eyes glaze at me 
Momentary realization came to me 
As well as the same voice that once said to me 
Came back again repeat
We shall not place blame on either 
Because we to rise from the gutter 
Take this bounce in rotate 
Because we should be for one and another
Were here from the beginning to the end
From the beginning to the end
