Intro:
Thank the lord for my brother & his friends
They was rapping in the house when I was 10
We was young boys, turning into men
This far from the end, so where do I begin
Verse 1:
Im one of my moms 5 kids, you could learn to survive, comin to my crib, from the bottom, come see how I live
Face ashy, mad crust on my eyelids
My mother never really had it, but always quick to help somebody else that’s in some static
I’ll never really understand it, when we looked out people played up, ain’t nobody come & save us
She said when you look out, make sure thats what you wanna do
Said no matter what they do, cause god gonna look out for you
Make sure you take care of your family, even when they couldn’t stand me
I will always come in handy, after all we been through
When she passed, I started taking care of my brothers
Spending my last, I couldn’t keep up with the summer
Cause there was no cash, I barely kept enough for supper
Had to get off my ask, I couldn’t go out like a sucker
Had to think of a game plan, I’m tryna be stable
I start selling drugs, tryna put food on the table
Tv was basic, I’m tryna put on the cable
Movin them grams, started to scam
Chorus:
I do this for the fam
I do this for the family
I do this for the fam
I do this for my family
Verse 2:
I try to keep the fam together, cause it’s better when you stand together
It’s better when you playin together
Don’t forget some niggas ain’t gonna be your man’s forever
Teaching the lil homies that be just mackin
Think them niggas round you loyal, till some shit happen
Everything be good till the cops raid
They found out the hard way, the niggas not brave
Niggas droppin name like they not gang
If you not really who you claim, we can’t hang
I’m only good, if my son great
So I gotta be straight forward, like a one way
My mans beefin with his baby moms, when they split she got child support, that’s dead wrong
Like he wouldn’t give his kids the world
Can’t belive she got the nerve, act like that’s what he deserve
That had me so sick in the head B, it’s deadly
I think child support should only be for deadbeats
Don’t be mad it ain’t go how you planned
Wait and see if homie gonna be a man & take care of the fam
Chorus:
I do this for my family
I do this for the fam
I do this for my family
