Family

Lyrics by: Cedric Scott and Derek Drew

(Verse 1)
Just take a look around partner
divorce is on the rise check the stats
vows are being broken baby what's the haps
families are breaking
steady making kids
disrespecting and checking
they parents while they robbing cribs

For jewels and chips
straight trying to come up on a scheme to get rich quick no money for activities in the school system
so the kids become victims of politics
resorting to crime and straight violence

Bart gets smart with Homer
Rosanne calls the shots
Al disses Peg for claps from the corner
we can learn a lot from past sitcoms
J.J. didn't talk back to moms
Thelma was the bomb

But wasn't easy
believe me
Jan and Marsha wasn' sleazy the T.V.
depicts our society
Kenny, Jefflyn and Strategy
we need to call on the Lord
if we ever gonna save the family...

(Hook)
What About The Family?
When You Open Your Eyes Tell Me What You See?
We Need Much Prayer
Does Anyone Care

(Verse 2)
Well are we all deceived or all we all sleep?
from my brain knowledge
you know my brain leaks
ignorance takes a backseat
when I speak
but wolves be surrounding clowning sheep

They've fallen from the third to the first level
their shotcaller's a big baller
and He's the devil
pimping Mama's, Daddy's, Uncles and Aunties, Kids
Slack why dont' you show them
how he handles his biz

Well Adam meets Eve
they shack up see
now that the milk is free
you think you getting married
now she's on the phone with the clinic
cause her stomach is getting fat
but he don't want no part of that

The busta disgusts her
Why does she stay?
her girlfriends tell her to leave him
that's easy for them to say
a single parent home she's contemplating
cause she's sick
of trying to compete wiiht the porno flicks
he watches for kicks

(Hook)

(Verse 3)
Your looking for a remedy, well here it is Jesus
"Focus On The Family" like Dobson
divorce should never be an option
however if you must split
infidelity is grounds that is just
but forgiveness is a plus kid

Steadily we pour into their lives positivity or poison
think of what your pouring
what parents say
what they do
what they believe is true
affects all kids
before they reach the age of two

So adults act your age it's the page of life
for you to give us knowledge wisdom and advice
see you see things that I don't see and won't see
but I can't see you
when your trying to be like me

So train your child from birth so when he's old
he won't forget what he was told
it's not a guarantee cause he has his own mind
but if you read the word you'll find
child abuse has nothing to do with whipping behinds

(Hook)
