The Family Lyrics by Brockhampton

[Intro: Kevin Abstract]
Motherfuckers be sayin'
"Say this, but don't; don't say it like that though
Say it this way
'Cause you gotta think about all of us, represent all of; "
Motherfuckers be;
Motherfuckers meanin' niggas I came up with
Motherfuckers meanin' myse;

[Chorus: Nick Velez]
I know I should've called you sober
'Cause I'm right back on my own
Devil on my shoulder laughin'
Sayin', "Kevin, don't forget you're alone"

[Interlude: Kevin Abstract]
Y'all know what it's like, y'all got families
But it's so different from my family from Texas
I know what it's like, but it's so different

[Verse 1: Kevin Abstract]
Merlyn saw the "SUGAR" video, asked if I sold my soul to the dеvil
In some ways I guess I did becausе my mama still livin' in the ghetto
But any extra signs, yo, yo, that was not on purpose
But I get it, 'cause it gets dark whenever Hollywood opens the curtain
I was way less vanilla when I was still a Texas nigga
I was way more Christian when I was still a Mormon nigga
I was a hungrier artist when Postmates ain't deliver to our house in Laurel Canyon
In a mansion with some niggas I can't stand, man
But I gotta hold it down for my new fam, man
I gotta hold it down and hold my stance, man
God, bring me a different band, man
As the checks grew, it became harder to leave
Everybody got an ego now, imagine bein' me
Competition started off so healthy
'Til one day I looked up like, "Damn, you almost better than me"
I don't feel guilty for wakin' you up when you sleep
I don't feel guilty from cuttin' your verse from this beat
I don't feel guilty for heat you caught from my tweets
Dead projects I teased from my lack of empathy
I feel free when I drink, you don't know shit about me
Y'all don't know shit about me, y'all don't know shit about me
Quit talkin' sh;

[Chorus: Nick Velez]
I know I should've called you sober (You sober)
'Cause I'm right back on my own
Devil on my shoulder laughin'
Sayin', "Kevin, don't forget you're alone" (You're alone)

[Verse 2: Kevin Abstract]
Okay, I said my piece, the whole room goes silent
Who do I turn to when my thoughts get violent?
When my voice goes hoarse, and we all stop cryin'
We said we'd do this shit for life, now I'm the last one tryin'

[Outro: Bearface & Kevin Abstract]
I know what it's like, but it's so different
You tried to keep it alive
Oh, oh-oh, oh
But I'll be fine
So why won't you listen, baby (You tried, woo)
You tried to keep it alive (Yeah)
But I'll be fine
Oh, yes, you did
Woah!
