Family Straight by Plies
[Intro: Plies - talkin']
I know sum people that say money change thangs
I'm hear to tell you money don't change every muthafuckin thing
[Chorus:]
Last ten years momma been workin' twice a day
Grandma on a kidney machine, she done lost all the weight
My aunty got AIDS, she startin' to lose her faith
My brutha back in prison, second time he gone away
My daddy still smokin' dat shit I can see it in his face
My cousin 16 pregnant from a nigga 38
Tryna stay on my son, make sure he doin what his mama say
Before ya take me God, help me get my family straight
[Verse 1:]
I asked God why he didn't bless me with a silver spoon
Cause if he did I'd never have to be a goon
If he gon' change my family, I hope he change it soon
I'm tired of answerin' my phone hearin' bad news
My grandma on a walker she can barely move
Just to tell me she love me take all her breath to do
She on a kidney machine I kno it's hurtin' her 2
Four times a week gotta get her blood drew
She say the bible and prayer the only thing that get her through
Why my grandma deserve this, god what did she do?
Thought caus' I had a lil money I could buy her a new
She hold the family together, she one I cant loose
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
My aunty got AIDS and I'm watchin her suffer
