Family First Lyrics by NlightendOne

2023

(Verse)
Since an adolescence, yo, I faced a lot of trauma
Fast forward, I never thought I'd have
A baby mama
Pops left when I was six caused a lot of drama
Somehow I thought I'd grow into a better father
But life is like a circle and I'm stuck up
In the cycle
Tryna hide my kid behind a blanket like I'm Michael
To cover up the pain, keep it real, I feel ashamed
Always put myself first, like daddy is just a name
That's my baby girl, I should be there more often
My selfish ass ways from this life that I was tossed in
Go get your own shit, that's a rule that I was taught and
Stability is nice, but family's more important
The kids don't need much, all they really need is presence
And I ain't talking gifts, they just need us to be present
That's a gift, they need us to be present
Every bump, every bruise, every fever that they catching, uh
The first day of first grade
To walking down the aisle to give my baby girl away
I should know her favorite meals and how to make a braid
Ain't been putting family first, so it's time to make a change
Before it's too late, and she learn a new face
Playing stepdad, I know a lot of y'all relate
My brother, that's ya seed, genetics can't be replaced
She have another kid with that nigga, congratulate
And welcome to the family, take care of the family
When child support knocked, you should see how much they ran me
When shit was getting real, shout out my baby Sammie
Sometimes we need a woman's perspective, you understand me
To teach us about family and keeping shit intact
Wanna be a better man, but I be slipping off the track
Shout out my real niggas, yo, they always had my back
If it's been a couple years, yo, I love you, that's a fact, fact
(Hook)
Family is first, that's a law that we live by
Tell my fam I love them, cause the time it done slid by
Womb to the tomb, pack of noodles or a ribeye
You can have my last, yes, I promise we gon' get by
Family is first, that's a law that we live by
Tell my fam I love them, cause the time it done slid by
Womb to the tomb, pack of noodles or a ribeye
You can have my last, yes, I promise we gon' get by
(Bridge)
Two things I stand for, my name and my family
Never took nothing anybody try to hand me
Grind for my daughter, my nieces, and Miss Sandy
Touch one of them and meet the bottom of a sandy
(Hook
Family is first, that's a law that we live by
Tell my fam I love them, cause the time it done slid by
Womb to the tomb, pack of noodles or a ribeye
You can have my last, yes, I promise we gon' get by
Family is first, that's a law that we live by
Tell my fam I love them, cause the time it done slid by
Womb to the tomb, pack of noodles or a ribeye
You can have my last, yes, I promise we gon' get by
