Mycol - FAMILY TIES

I wrote this letter to my father
He told me to call em but you don't listen so why bother
Talking about it I'd rather silence my own problems
And do exactly what you never did to go and solve em
You caused em
I'd rather write it so you read it to yourself
And if you listening you really need some help
You'd have my head if I said it to ya face 
But the truth is you left me with my mama by myself 
This message coming from my pain
Past pimping different women
All of em know my name
Too many pictures to keep it vivid
All in my brain
Dimes by the dozen
So imma charge it to the game, I'm saying 
Yo father was a rolling stone
And still he made you
A man imperfect but working
How could I blame you
And when I look in the mirror 
I see the same too
Nah I don't like it, I love it
I got ya name, too

Family ties
These are just my family ties
Family ties
I seen too many of my family cry
Family ties
These are just my family ties
Family ties
Man I always love it when we smile

I wrote this letter to myself 
This poetry is therapy no medicine could help
These visions of my shadow I see painted when I felt
Myself slipping, deeper into somebody else
I tried to keep it cool
Keep it calm
All collected
This energy inside of me too strong to be neglected
The more I tried to hide it
Is the more it always shows
The darkest of places exactly where my mind goes
And now I feel alone like nobody understands
They trying to love me but I don't even give a chance
The closer they keep coming I just push em right back
Will I ever evolve, if i always feel attacked?
Damn
Emotions really on the rise 
Waves flowing up the shore
Now dripping from my eyes
I'm sitting on this bathroom floor
Giving it to God
Praying for forgiveness
Through these bloody
Family ties 

Family ties
These are just my family ties
Family ties
I seen too many of my family cry
Family ties
These are just my family ties
Family ties
Man i always love it when we smile

I wrote this letter for my seed
I pray before i leave
I give you everything you need
A home full of love
A heart full of light
The knowledge of our god
For an everlasting life
The courage and the strength
You'll always need to fortify
Dealing with this world
Is full of greed and full of lies
Principles and morals
Are the reason you're alive
Value what you cherish
Cause your treasures are alive
Intention is the key to Responsibility
Respect is the best asset for Legacy
Do it when you're scared
Do it when you're lost
Do it when you're down
Falling all the way apart
Do it for yourself 
Now do it all for me
And do it for your mama
Everything you'll ever be
Is already written
Before i wrote these lines
Protect and love each other
Through these bloody
Family ties

Yea
Family ties
