Family
Family comes first
They're the most important and anybody can confirm
We gotta conform with family
And for the sake of our sanity
Just relax cos hostility's always short-term

I remember some times when I was a baby
Well, not exactly a baby, probably 3 years maybe
My momma she would tell me "never talk to strangers" daily
I knew that she was right but I just thought she sounded crazy, like
Don't strangers turn to friends the moment that you say hi?
Cos my experiences often prove me right
Guess I'm right. Oh, I'm not?
Then what about the friends I've got?
I'm pretty sure they are my friends
Homies til the end, right?
Wrong

Let me tell you what I heard in a song
Friends don't last long
That's why they have an "end"
That's why they always bend
Your emotions to an end
That's why you can't spend
The rest of your life with them
But family
Most definitely
They'll always be
The ones who'll be there permanently
Temporary controversy will happen regularly
But you need to know that that's just how love tends to be
Cos love is crazy

But maybe, crazy is good
Now I ain't talking 'bout the crazy that you find in the hood
The kinda one with guns blazing, ****** pacing in hoods
But I'm talking 'bout the one where mum and dad will go on and on
Screaming down each others ears wishing death for each other
Act like they hate each other
But minutes later dad tells you that deep down he still loves her
So he goes up to hug her
Cos he doesn't wanna ruin life for you and your brother

That's an example
And really, that's from one angle
Usually family love is more difficult to handle
Especially when family has so many angles
And you need Kurt Angle to keep it on lock down
As an only child myself, I guess it's kinda sad how
Family can suddenly break down
Leaving you down
In the dumps
Getting over this **** isn't easy
But it would please thee if I put in some elbow greas-ee
And try to pick up the pieces and piece them together
Cos family, they'll get through it no matter the weather
Cos family, they'll get through it no matter whatever
Cos family, they'll get through it no matter whenever
No matter however

That's why family always comes first
They're the most important and anybody can confirm
We gotta conform with family
And for the sake of our sanity
Just relax cos hostility's always short-term
