Some Family Lyrics

It's not an easy song to write

But the story wouldn't be complete without this one

Some of the fires that shape our lives

They're not the loud and explosive kind

Sometimes it's a slow burn

When friendships fall apart, it's a rip in the heart

It's worse than a breakup depending how far

Histories involved, this album and all

I got some new info, I had to make a call

You didn't want to talk about it at all

Now I remind you of the truth that you run from

You know I know what you won't admit to no one

I wasn't judging, just wanted a discussion

Thought you were a close one, but you stay running

I guess some folks would just rather talk about nothing

Have fun on your own then, I hope you heal some

For you and the family that you don't want to see

I don't know why I thought you would be better to me

I guess 20 years wasn't what I thought it would be

Maybe some trauma goes so deep you can't see

My doors been open but I know you won't reach

Some family you are born into

Some family is who you choose

The past can't dictate how we move

But if we don't learn from it, watch what we do

Some family you are born into

Some family is who you choose

We all lose loved one way too soon

What's worse, when some choose to lose you

Big homie, I patterned my life some

In ways that I learned from you as young one

I remember you showed love when nobody was then

There's doors that have opened cuz of songs that we made when

We struggled to pay rent, man back in the days it

Always meant something to connect

I made sure to represent

The whole crew in interviews, albums and events

But the whole truth isn't something that I knew yet

When it came to real spit, you would run so quick

And you don't owe it to me, but this is not a friendship

You told the world we were family, but this isn't it

I got no response to the olive branches I sent

I'm in mourning, tryna find the lesson in this

But sometimes heartbreak is just what it is

Our friendship may no longer exist

But I hope you heal, and connect with your kid

Some family you are born into

Some family is who you choose

The past can't dictate how we move

But if we don't learn from it, watch what we do

Some family you are born into

Some family is who you choose

We all lose loved one way too soon

What's worse, when some choose to lose you

Some family you are born into

Some family is who you choose

We all lose loved one way too soon

What's worse, when some choose to lose you

Some family you are born into

Some family is who you choose

The past can't dictate how we move

But if we don't learn from it, then we all gon lose
