Cormega - Love Your Family lyrics

rate me

I got a daughter I support her open heartedly

It bothers me how fathers be havin' children irresponsibly

How could I not nurture what I conceived

Or deprive her, shes my prophecy

As I stare in her eyes there's no despair, deception

Or awareness, except when givin' affection

She's the water that purifies me

More than likely wearing Jordans like me

As she grows I'll expose her to all that I've seen

Like the island of Saint Croy

Where smile and she brings joy

She the cover I'm the line of what survival is based on

How I teach her to stay strong

And live through wilderness

If I instill in her the will to live

Shell get through it

She my first seed, my genesis

My last bit of innocence

My understanding wisdom brings what knowledge is given

I hope to surround her with prominent figures

So she can grow to be a positive woman and never doubts that I love her

Ain't nothing like family, til they gone then u realize

How much they meant to you, more than a friend'll do

Give em their roses while they're still alive

I know the world's understanding me

Go ahead show that love stop tryin' to be a tough guy

Cause when they gone you'll be saying

That you didn't get the chance to say you love em

And you have to live with that for the rest of my life

To the most 3 influential women in my life

My moms and sister and grandmoms alike

Don't think you don't appreciate the love you give me

And on my birthday the cards you send me

Y'all will always be there when others ain't so friendly

To me or to weather my life and never goin' empty

No matter how rich I get I know you never envy

No matter how broke I get I know you always help me

No matter what I know that love is wealthy

And all you care if I'm living or healthy

And only something nice out your mouth that you try to tell me

And if I'm doing wrong, won't hesitate to tell me

Ayo that's the kinda love that I'm talking about

So while you here I'm giving back that's what family's about

If there's anything you need no matter what the price

Try to get it even if it means giving my life,

'Cause

You gave us life, it ain't your fault the street corrupted us

You raised us right, when them bullies used fuckin' with us

You made us fight, gave your heart or soul

Rich or poor, there would always be a pot on the stove

You made sure we had a roof over our head and clothes for school

And discipline soon as we opposed the rules

A hard head made us soft but

When we was comin' up you gave us advice on what life would have in store for us

All you niggas runnin' round out there all wild

Playin' the streets like it's goin' outta style

Remember gotta take time out for those who love you

They the only ones could live you like no one else could love you

And if you think I'm bullshitting let that time pass

Let that ass get broke and see which love last

Blood is thicker than water just remember that

And no matter what the problem know they always got my back

Ya heard
