Family First

Yea
It’s always family first
For whatever it’s worth
Come on
I keep livin like this, I might lose it
That’s how it’s going down
I keep livin like this, I might lose it
I keep it real
Reality check
Reality check
Ey yo, karma is a bitch, brother
Now you foldin thick
I see you in the fast lane
On the golden bridge
At the time nobody knew who your name was
Before even you and your crew even came up
Yo, we both ran, even got the same blood
And you really think this shit is strange, but the game is changing
Ain’t no going back, hate it or you stomp the ground and you know we’re fat
You should take a look around and see what holds you back
Through the times of crisis, with no hope to grasp
The facts are old but now, yeah, you’re living great
When I had nothing, you ate off a silver plate
I had a bag in my hand, you had a business case
All mixed up by the fucking digit chase
Peace, no grudge but it hurts to know
One hand washed a other with the dirty soap
It could be if you keep it real with me
How I keep it real with you
Reality check if you need to beat the loop
Gotta keep your peeps pealed to see the truth
It could be if you keep it real with me
How I keep it real with you
Reality check if you need to beat the loop
Gotta keep your peeps pealed to see the truth
Yo, back in the day, we used to be twin brothers
Inseparable, 'cause the pressure that we been under
Was recognized fast
So when the room were right, we always stole the light
From blessin' the northern lights
To freestyle marauders at the same time
You sold keys on the corners, too deep on the orders
Sellin' it, hard buy, 'till we got caught for possession of narcotics
So I decided to choose a different route
But you was too afraid to lose and chickened out
You lost big time when you almost killed a man
I worked on bigger plans while you was locked up
Yeah, correctional facility, solitary confinement
Where you grew more criminal minded, so I decided to stop tryin'
'Cause all you had left was violence and cops
It could be if you keep it real with me
How I keep it real with you
Reality check if you need to beat the loop
Gotta keep your peeps pealed to see the truth
It could be if you keep it real with me
How I keep it real with you
Reality check if you need to beat the loop
Gotta keep your peeps pealed to see the truth
Time flies, yes it does
It is what it is but never was
No lie, all roads don’t lead to Rome
'Cause in the end, it all goes to each his own
I guess it’s hard to be humble when shit crumbles apart
'Cause you humblin' hard when you puzzle the parts in the bigger picture
So I sit and reminisce on the people and persons that been the key to the
version of me
See, I weigh in the pros, the cons
To see it’s still here or goes, been gone
'Cause I removed the two shoulders that we rowed upon
No grudge but I no longer toast it for 'em
They the reason why I wrote this song
Their fold is long but much shorter if you cut them off
Never double-crossed, I read the signs
Keep your eyes open wide and let the prime lead the prime now
It could be if you keep it real with me
How I keep it real with you
Reality check if you need to beat the loop
Gotta keep your peeps pealed to see the truth
It could be if you keep it real with me
How I keep it real with you
Reality check if you need to beat the loop
Gotta keep your peeps pealed to see the truth
