MUPHIN - Family Affair lyrics

rate me

Connected by blood and a blind love

Several hugs and circuitry plugs

I dug to find the real reason

This man finds it so hard to express what he believes in

Demons are genetic and habits die as pathetic

An epidemic, plague of racism

Children are given this prison of diluted thoughts

Anger watches on the sidelines as they play sport

Split-ups and divorce, messy court scenarios

Quicker than Mario, pistachio parents

Nutters, academic clutters

Over-protective mothers smother with affection

Unable to stand up and seek some direction

Collection of memories in stills

Weed, booze and an overflow of pills

Everything paid for to swimming in bills

I'll, sick, standoffish

Snobbish traits, learn from your parents mistakes

Love, hate and screams

Family ties broken down by the lies

The truth shoots through the seems

You know what? The truth shoots through the seems

You gave me life and I can never forget it

Raised me right and I'll always respect it

Just hope I've never been something you ever regretted

Embedded with memories both good and bad

Happy and sad, glad that I can't really complain

Though at times I felt you were ashamed

There's more to me than my name

And no two families could ever be the same

And you may blame it on the rain

But the puddle will show our reflection, spill our confessions

Nah boy, I think I've learnt my lesson

Could do without the lecturing

But do you really know me or is it all just guessing?

Lessen the load, because this brain is about to explode

And seep out everything you loathe

And when I go I hope we stay in contact

And forget about the combat

Concerned that I was always on tap, or off

You didn't really know what could barely wash your watch

Hoping I would stop this drinking

And start thinking, conflicting

Because we are so different

Or maybe it was just instinct

And I think that no family is perfect

Words from a wordsmith

Uh ha, uh ha

And this goes out to my immediate family

To my mates and my girl, you're part of my family

And to my Hip Hop family

All these families have shown me a whole heap of support

And I just want you to know that I'm there for you
