Marlon Craft - Family lyrics

This is a note to my pops
This is a letter to Dad
Just want say I love you a lot
Thanks for all the time you
Could never get back it made me a man cause
I live with the realest
You gave up your music so I can hear mine
And look where it got me
They chantin’ our name and
They screamin’ our lines
Drove me to all of those practices, games
Just me and you we’s the only white boys
Thought you was a cop ‘til they
Seen I had a shot then they like
"that’s your pops?" Oh you look just like boy
Taught me this world don’t hold your hands
You gon’ have to throw ‘em if you gotta
And all this nervous shit you
Couldn’t relate to it
But still made me feel like I’d conquer
And I know you like to
Keep your emotions buried
I know you’re scared that
Your time has passed
But you been drummin’ in my rhymes
The percussion in each
Line is a function of your time as Dad
This my Jazz and I swear to God that the two
Of us gon’ pay off these student
Plus before the Knicks stop
Makin’ fools of us
But see to pay you back, I couldn’t do enough
So this one right here

This for da family, this for da family
This for da fam, this for da, this for da
This for da family
It’s all cause a y’all, cause a y’all
Cause a y’all I did shit that I can’t believe
So this for da family
Cause y’all made a man of me
So this for da fam, this for da, this for da
This for da family
Said this for da fam, this
For da, this for da, this for da family
It’s all cause a y’all that I did
Some shit that I can’t believe
Cause y’all made a man of me
Cause y’all made a man of me

This is a note to my moms
This is a letter to Christine
Just want say our love is still strong
Even though our record ain’t pristine
Cause you always there for me
When I needed you
And you gon’ always care for
Me I believe in you
Night, evening, day, Miss PTA
If we ain’t have a team
Then you would make it
And you was there for me to answer all those
Texts when my anxiety I couldn’t take it
And you taught me to relax a little
But you also taught me how to blaze a trail
Taught me how to make shit happen
And I take no shit
If we gotta, we gon’ raise some hell
And that’s us and I’m sorry that the
House ain’t clean and my shoes everywhere
That don’t mean I don’t love you
And I want you to know I
Don’t think I’m above you
I know you can’t always express
Yourself how you want to
But we all got flaws and I know me, myself
I got a bundle
But I’mma always be a son that
Try to pay you back
See that’s all I wan’ do
And you said don’t get comfortable
Bein’ uncomfortable, shit, and yo
That was the truth
So I pushed myself out of the house
And I’m not a recluse and shit
That’s cause of you
And I know I’m hard on you
I complain a lot but yo
Without you I wouldn’t be here
And we both got quick tempers but it was your
Patience that help me beat fear so thank you

This for da family, this for da family
This for da fam, this for da, this for da
This for da family
It’s all cause a y’all, cause a y’all
Cause a y’all I did shit that I can’t believe
So this for da family
Cause y’all made a man of me
So this for da fam, this for da, this for da
This for da family
Said this for da fam, this
For da, this for da, this for da family
It’s all cause a y’all that I did
Some shit that I can’t believe
Cause y’all made a man of me
Cause y’all made a man of me

This is a letter to Mia
This is a note to my sis
I don’t like hyperbole but feel like I
Don’t know if someone better exists
Lean on you so much it’s
A miracle you haven’t toppled
And I know the world can look tough
Through those Marlons my big-brother goggles
And I know you lookin’ for answers but I know
You can do it all witcho eyes closed
And I know I talk about me all the
Time and I’m sorry I’m like that
It’s just you the only one really know me
Everyone else around me feel really phony
You can tell me shut up
You don’t really owe me your
Ear but you never do
Fail to loan me and I love you for that
I know you get nervous like I did
And I didn’t want you feel that
All of them times when you was young
And mom and dad was fightin’
I tried to run you from that
And I always tried to be like Parent #3
But the truth is that I’ve looked
Up to you since like 2013
And what you come to be and
How you love for free
I might be the most famous but
You the best of us i want you to take that
As pressure cause life is
‘bout who you are and what you do and
You are great and you can
Do whatever you want
And that shit ain’t true
For everyone but you, so you got it
And I know I like to play devil’s advocate
But I’m your advocate ‘til I’m bodied
Love you

This for da family, this for da family
This for da fam, this for da, this for da
This for da family
It’s all cause a y’all, cause a y’all
Cause a y’all I did shit that I can’t believe
So this for da family
Cause y’all made a man of me
So this for da fam, this for da, this for da
This for da family
Said this for da fam, this
For da, this for da, this for da family
It’s all cause a y’all that I did
Some shit that I can’t believe
Cause y’all made a man of me
Cause y’all made a man of me
