It's so odd how families end up
When there is money involved
The pain runs deeper than any debt
And is much harder to resolve
You realize family is just a word
And blood is just a vital fluid
It's not vital to keep them close to you
If in your family, you feel excluded
Because I grew up knowing family
With much associations of pain
If you asked what family meant to me
It feels like a ball and a chain
I can't help but think of family
As a social obligation
To stick with those who **** you dry
Playing on good intentions
