B.K. - Family Issues/Truth Is lyrics
Family Issues [Verse 1] I have a lot of friends, i have a lot of fam, i have a lot of family, that's blood related I know i shouldn't do it, but i gotta say it God damnit, i hate family reunions, and family ain't blood, it's whoever you're choosing I've felt more at home with these people that i'm running with Than with my family and they don't even notice it I've seen my mama get back stabbed too many times By the people who say they have love for her inside But on the outside looking in, all i see's a f**ing lie And if the shoe fits, you can wear it too My mama gon' hear this and look straight at you Just take care of you and your people, close the blinds, no need to show off for the people outside Look in the mirror ask whatchu you looking for Look all around you, you have it all, whatchu looking for? [Hook x2] I have a lot on my mind, all this weight on my shoulders, and a bunch of things to get off of my chest I could say it out loud but no one would listen But once it's in a song, i have their attention [Verse 2] My little cousin having problems at home, i told her to come through for the summer Got you a job, you could come and work with us That'd be too lit, few weeks, if we don't get fired, we all gon' quit Nah i'm playing, but really, you should come through and have the summer of your life You're acting kinda iffy but you know that i'm right And i don't really understand what your fear is You're afraid that your mom gon' disown you, well sh**, now i guess you don't have anything to fear kid Too far? nah not far enough Cause i still have a full clip, nothing left the chamber But i'll put that on safety and save that for later But sh**, it's all love because we're family right? Treat each other like sh** because we're family right? (It doesn't make sense) Whatever, i'm gone I have a lot on my mind Lot on my mind Lot on my mind, lot on my mind Truth Is [Hook] I want you to know I want you to know I want you to know I just need you to know [Verse 1] The truth is this project was for fun and it's an even funnier story of how it came about I was at work joking around with ruben and dan Then dan said yo jordan when is tloj coming out? I said this month and it'll be the hottest thing that you hear and then i laughed and then we all laughed for the next 5 hours But i guess it was one of those thing where you really had to be there They were off at 7, and i was there til 8 In that hour i thought, 23 years old, 21 projects, it's not too late To try something new, i can grow, i can evolve I can rap and we all know it, but it ain't good enough And no this isn't me giving up, i'm taking care of my time, trust me you'll know what's up Right now no one listens when i talk and they don't notice us The truth is this isn't a song i'm just speaking my mind I'm just speaking my mind [Hook] I want you to know I want you to know I want you to know I just need you to know [Verse 2] The truth is, i miss my dad a lot The truth is, i missed my cousin too The truth is i saw my aunt trace for the first time in so long and when we said bye i almost cried The truth is, i have a heart, i feel everything, i just play it smart or cool or whatever The truth is i want my little cousin to come live with us but the fact is that she won't and i know I sat at the table across from my idol, we talked music, i was happy, but i know that we're supposed to be rivals He gave me all the tips and the tricks that he knows and i played stupid 'cause i'm all for the show But the truth is, i been doing this And it seems like everyone i know wanna have an opinion on it And when i try to speak about it, they don't let me speak about it They act like they know my art better than me They act like they can see something that i can't see So yeah the truth is, this was all just for fun My 22nd project, could it be the one or is it just another one? The truth is, i don't really think i have fans Just a couple friends who will listen every now and then But won't tell their friends, it's the truth and you know it man
