Family Man Lyrics

If anything, I pray to be a family man

All my life, I had to battle with the pain

Therefore, I could easily just detach

This the story of black man

This the story of a black man

Tryna give the world all that he can

This the story of a black man

Tryna crack a world he was told he can't

My formative years, I know I spent with dad

But when the boy turned nine, was forced to take a stand

It was only me and mom, I had to hold her hand

Couple things that she won't know til after my death

Couple feelings I won't show til after the fact

Traumatised by the system, always been oppressed

I know I lost myself, had to reconnect

Then I made good of my life, I'll give you that

How many of my broers could say the same?

How many of my broers will ever be sane?

So many of my broers I'll never see again

These are the type of things that made me numb to death

Does that make me fit to be a father?

Does that make me fit to be a son?

Does that make me fit to be a brother?

Imma own this shit, I'm the one

If anything, I pray to be a family man

All my life, I had to battle with the pain

Therefore, I could easily just detach

This the story of black man

This the story of a black man

Tryna give the world all that he can

This the story of a black man

Tryna crack a world he was told he can't

If anything, I pray to be a family man

All my life, I had to battle with the pain

Therefore, I could easily just detach

This the story of black man

This the story of a black man

Tryna give the world all that he can

This the story of a black man

Tryna crack a world he was told he can't
