Family Affair
Field Mob I-20 Lil' Fate Ludacris Norfclk Playaz Circle & Shareefa Lyrics

It's a family affair, it's a family affair
The song is about a family and how they deal with their issues together.

One child grows up to be
One of the children grows up to be interested in learning and bettering themselves.

Somebody that just loves to learn
This child enjoys learning and education.

And another child grows up to be
Another child grows up to have qualities that people dislike.

Somebody you'd just love to burn
This child is unlikeable and irksome.

Mom loves the both of them
Despite their contrasting personalities, the mother loves both of her children equally.

You see it's in the blood
The loving nature and bond within the family exists because they share the same bloodline.

Both kids are good to Mom
Both children care about and treat their mother well.

"Blood's thicker than mud"
Family is more important than anything else, and their bond is strong.

Newlywed a year ago
A couple was married recently.

But you're still checking each other out
The couple is still getting to know each other and figuring out their relationship dynamics.

Nobody wants to blow
They don't want to ruin anything or mess up the relationship.

Nobody wants to be left out
No one wants to be left out and feel excluded from the family or relationship.

You can't leave, 'cause your heart is there
Even if the couple is having issues, they can't leave because their love for each other still remains strong.

But you can't stay, 'cause you been somewhere else!
However, their previous experiences and actions make it difficult for them to stay and continue the relationship.

You can't cry, 'cause you'll look broke down
They don't want to show vulnerability or weakness by crying and appearing defeated.

But you're cryin' anyway 'cause you're all broke down!
Despite their attempts to stay strong, they end up crying because they are emotionally drained.

It's a family affair
The family will continue to work through their issues together, no matter what.

It's a family affair
The family is united and will always stick together through thick and thin.
