Family


Verse


I gotta go and get it
I’m not associated with
Faking .
From now on , I want nothing but action.
Gotta Lotta on ma shoulders
Grandmama knows I’m a soldier.
So she pour me holy water in ma cup.
Coz she knows..
I’mma be across the borders
Walk on water like Dynamo.
Never taking orders from you Morons.
I just follow what she taught us.
I don’t share a mother
With my brothers.
But they still my blood brothers.
They lost a mother so I got
Play father and learn how to
Father.
Cause the man I call my father once nothing to do
With me..
So I had to go and get it and
Make it work for myself.
Cause I’m tired of feeling
Inactive Thus why I’m never
Wasting a second ..
I keep on losing patience.


Chorus


I got family, I gotta work hard..
Go ahead and get it cause
They know my fight.
And ma Grandma knows,
I gotta get it though ..
Living in the fast lane I gotta get this dough.
I got family, I got work hard.
Go ahead and get it cause they know my fight….


Verse


I’m fighting evil with evil..
Fighting fire with fire.
For you I die on the cross
Like the Messiah.
We stay connected like God
And Isiah.
Grandma I’mma build you an empire.
My desire to see you wealthy and Healthy
You know thus healthy
For my well-being.
Live life to the fullest
At least I’ll die happy.
I done seen it all like my left
Eye..
Prepared to hand you my soul before I die.
Please don’t cry just that that I’m Fine cause I chose
This life instead of living a lie.


Chorus


I got family, I gotta work hard..
Go ahead and get it cause
They know my fight.
And ma Grandma knows,
I gotta get it though ..
Living in the fast lane I gotta get this dough.
I got family, I got work hard.
Go ahead and get it cause they know my fight….


Verse


My Father,My Mother,My Brothers

My Mother a dreamer, a visionary,
She paving my way occasionally,
She told me ""Boy u got to work hard""

My family i die ,i will kill for u,
I hunt it,i get it, i care for u,
We will share the empare that i will build fo u,
No matter what, i will grind for u,

Go ahead and get it cause
They know my fight.
And ma Grandma knows,
I gotta get it though ..
Living in the fast lane I gotta get this dough.




I got family, I got work hard.
Go ahead and get it cause they know my fight….
