G-Shaw - Family Ties

What ya know about being on a cruise
Come back to New Jers feelin confused
Get in the car all a sudden pops
Tellin me that Grandmama heart stops
Mixed with emotion all this commotion
Got me so stressed wish there was a potion
To take away the pain that resists within
Memories of the hospital conversation
Runnin through my mind my Grandmama true
Asked me if I don't get signed what I'm a do
Told her ain't no if the question is when
She said when she don't see no money when's it comin in
Little did I know this would be the last time
I speak to her now all I do is find
Pictures from the past I think of her laugh
My eyes soggy Grandmama safe at last
You can see in my eyes
Pain I feel there no disguise
This is how I feel inside
This is how my family ties
You can see in my eyes
Pain I feel there no disguise
This is how I feel inside
This is how my family ties
Two days later I'm at the wake
I see her in the casket I think it's fake
It's really her, my eyes start to blur
She can't look at me I can look at her
One uncle bounce to go get my cousin
Drop off his baby and her mama he buggin
Back to the wake where another woman wait
If they never meet to him that be great
Other uncle a little more complex
Two women there and one's his ex
His ex's tell my aunt she love that man
Can't understand ring on her left hand
She engaged and anyway how are they
Gonna disrespect their mother's life that way
These women comin in with different shifts
They ain't thinkin of they mom's they thinkin of they
You can see in my eyes
Pain I feel there no disguise
This is how I feel inside
This is how my family ties
You can see in my eyes
Pain I feel there no disguise
This is how I feel inside
This is how my family ties
Two of my aunt's wanna beef with my mom
Whenever there's a problem they go to my mom
One jealous of my mom that my godmother
Other aunt think she can yell at my mother
I don't get involved I pay it no mind
Both aunts done with my mom that's fine
My godmother ignore my momma's calls
Has my uncle say I'll tell her you called
Shady Shady these my family ties how crazy
Maybe They'd be adults and stop actin like babies
Grandmama's fear would her kids get along
By these actions she wasn't wrong
Over 50 years and you can't behave
These actions'll make her turn in her grave
You can see in my eyes
Pain I feel there no disguise
This is how I feel inside
This is how my family ties
You can see in my eyes
Pain I feel there no disguise
This is how I feel inside
This is how my family ties
