Family First

I put the family first, I put the family first
Only thing I can do, nigga, you dig?
I put the family first, I had to put in the work
Got it all out the mud, nigga, they done seen me at my worst
I done rose from the dirt, down bad, shit hurts
I put the family first, but I put the family first

I put the family first, I had to put in the work
Got it all out the mud, nigga, they done seen me at my worst
I done rose from the dirt, down bad, shit hurts
I put the family first, but I put the family first

I had to put in the work
I see the hate, they don’t want me to win
I put the family first
If they ask you, just tell ‘em I’ll do it again
Tell ‘em that we get it in

I gotta put food on the table every day
I'm in the streets, I'm hoping that the Lord save me, yeah, yeah
I can’t run from these problems, everybody got problems
Rolling up back to back just to forget about the problems

I know money can’t solve them, every day it get harder
But I gotta go harder for my boys and my daughter
Fucked up, I was starving, I broke the lease in the apartments
But bitch, I came from the garbage
But now the money ain’t a problem

I told the family I got ‘em
And I'm sticking to the promise
I'm only focused on the commas
I pray I live to see tomorrow

I put the family first, I had to put in the work
Got it all out the mud, nigga, they done seen me at my worst
I done rose from the dirt, down bad, shit hurts
I put the family first, but I put the family first

I put the family first, I had to put in the work
Got it all out the mud, nigga, they done seen me at my worst
I done rose from the dirt, down bad, shit hurts
I put the family first, but I put the family first

I gotta run up a bag, I can't just sit on my ass
Told you I got it, you laughed
I had to go in the stash
Fucked up, I was down bad
Couldn't even be around that
Took a chance, but I bounced back
Hold up, nigga, let me count that

I put the family first, fuck it, it is what it is
I do this shit for my kids
If I'm doing it, I'm doing it big
Can’t complain, so I take what I get
Get the money, I'm ready to flip
Double up, we gon’ take us a trip
Out the way ‘cause they all in the mix

Got it on me, they hoping I slip
Chasing money, we gotta get rich
All those nights that we spent on the strip
When I'm stressed, I roll me a spliff
Every day, I be ready to quit
And I can’t, so I stay on my shit
Told myself that we going legit
Took a shot and they hoping I missed

I put the family first, I had to put in the work
Got it all out the mud, nigga, they done seen me at my worst
I done rose from the dirt, down bad, shit hurts
I put the family first, but I put the family first

I put the family first, I had to put in the work
Got it all out the mud, nigga, they done seen me at my worst
I done rose from the dirt, down bad, shit hurts
I put the family first, but I put the family first
