CMPLX - Family Issues lyrics
*Coughs* Yeah Gotta feel me on this one It's Earv [Verse 1: E$C] I don't remember the exact date but ma and dad I remember When the first time the family tie became unknotted damn I remember I remember the way she ran into my room asking why mommy and daddy fighting all the time Sister had tears from her eyes hid her under the bed saying everything gon' be fine But I lied to her face cause I a'int really know if everything was really gon' be straight Being the big brother that I can to her felt like superman all I needed was a cape Momma yells was so loud it was like distorted ba**, hitting all my walls I was so small felt I couldn't help at all, never ever perfect opposite of par I imagined everything in my head god, it sounded so abusive It was like a horror movie hearing the whole a** whopping and me, feeling all the bruises Looked at my sister and i handed her some headphones and said here listen to some music Meanwhile I'm right next to her hearing all the fussing, feeling like damn I'm bout to lose it But i thought no, man not in front of my sister She had no hope, I teared up a little Grabbed her forehead and then I kissed her Then I thought "why now this bout to scar my sister!?" It was gonna ruin her little dreamville in her head, with all the painted pretty pictures Ever since then i did nothing but to lift her Every time they fought it was never ever whispers Bruh my sister came into my room a few months ago Like even tho I'm nine i got thoughts too And i don't really know whether I should speak up or no My mind blew I said you gotta speak your mind cause I promise you one day girl they gonna pay attention Like me I try to speak to millions but, I know only few listen [Hook: E$C] We got issues Everybody got issues We got issues Everybody got issues We got issues Everybody got issues So lets take a minute be silent with it and see if the lord with us So lets pray just bow yo head and pray for our issues Pray, bow your head and pray for our issues Pray, bow your head and pray for our issues So lets take a minute be silent with it and see if the lord with us So lets pray [Verse 2: E$C] So after months of the all out war, its outcome became a divorce Momma in the bed every night did exactly nothing overnight, but just pour Wine gla**es all on the carpet figured that momma wasting all her profit So drunk that the wine start staining in the carpet and she started giving up on college She was quite it was like no pulse in the body kinda similar to a deadbeat That's when she let me off the chain felt free, but got introduce to the evil damn streets And even though the streets ruined me I met people and things that really ended up helping me I started ventilating to my n***as and telling them how my momma haven't lately been really healthy They said "tell me little n***a was wrong?" "My mom is now an alcoholic" I said "Im trying see her off it, I feel like she getting closer to her coffin" Wayne told me "man this what you gotta do, get rid of the sh**" That same night, i went back home, and that's exactly what I did I looked momma straight into her eyes while I'm crying told her i threw away the wine I can't stand you always laying down being quiet stressing over that motherf**ing guy I know you grew up in the projects and you that type of women to be stronger when you rolling independent She said "You right son, i got a life to live and I can't sit here forever stressing But see I" [Hook: E$C] We got issues Everybody got issues We got issues Everybody got issues We got issues Everybody got issues So lets take a minute be silent with it and see if the lord with us So lets pray just bow yo head and pray for our issues Pray, bow your head and pray for our issues Pray, bow your head and pray for our issues So lets take a minute be silent with it and see if the lord with us So lets pray How many parents of ours were actually married and sh** And those marriages were actually you know successful? I know that sh** lower than like 40 percent I know y'all feel me It's Earv Yeah
