Family Ties - People Under The Stairs

Tonya, Adeldra, Anisa, Alida, Isaiah

I didn’t mean to grow up

Didn’t mean to get stoney

Word to my father Tony

'85 was cool dude, and I was the cool foo

Chillin' in school dude

Pen hit the paper

It’s all about the family…

And those that’s livin'

You are the true and given

It’s Thes and Double

And yo we always into trouble

Hey, Archie

Here’s a treat

Cause I’m loving my lady up

Loving my family

Y’all might tease the DJ

And I’m off the wall

Take a picture of yall

The P army and all

Bounce a basketball on the schoolyard pavement

Go home smoke a j, make a beat and then save it

My family is on the wall

We had love fo' sho'

Pour out some liquor and I reminisce

For families that’s separated

Families that still together

Families in good fortune

And families under the weather

For families that deal with addicts

Families that suffer loss

Families that fighting cancer together at any cost

For family that are your friends

And family that’s the hardest

Not our family it’s blood but we love them regardless

For family for you choosin' for a couple you don’t

Wouldn’t it be easier to turn your back on them

But you won’t

We find a way to forgive

So we can live and move on

So we can love move on

Support our family, strong

It’s like that Thanksgiving hug when you open the front door

You know that you’re home because you’ve been there before

Where you can smell the turkey cooking in every room in the house

We laugh at the same stories

Grandma’s perfume on her blouse

For our family who are with us and a couple that’s gone

We celebrate the good times and reminisce on a song

Ain’t no love if you can’t love each other through

We had love fo' sho'
