Proud Family - Ghetts

Family ties

Family of five

Dad left I went jail

Mum kept the family inline

Just her and the twins

Money so low she had to cancel the sky

Late night running out of ellecy

What you know about candle for light

All I know is survival

I learnt that from Karen and life

Same old cycle

Nanny was right

I come from where the mothers are worried

Sun comes up and they’re sons are haven’t come in

Cant keep food in my room cah I know if my mum finds that then mums flush it

Now I owe the big man PS

And I gotta go country for nothing

I know the road ting well

I been who I see these youngers becoming

I got one little cousin who’s just like I was

Hes about 14 now and it’s mad cah I ask myself where the time’s gone

Gotta lead by example

Show the yout dem what I’m on

Mic on

Let bygons be bygons

I told you I’m blessed my guy

I replaced that X with an I

That’s why they call me an icon

Bloods thicker than

Friends come and go most ain’t lifelong

And the ones that are become family

And that’s my family aside from

The usual suspects

Can’t take nom ore funerals

You see the suit but death ain’t a suitable subject

So much to live for outside my musical success

Unconditional love

That get through anything miracle love

That nothing cant top this pinnacle love

That spiritual love

That’s that original love

Our family

Proud family

From my granny to my children

Mum you raised a real one

My nephew coming soon

Got a cousin I ain’t spoken to in years

But I still got love for you

Proud

Proud family

Proud family

From my granny to my children

Mum you raised a real one

My nephew coming soon

Got a cousin I ain’t spoken to in years

But I still got love for you

My sons one and my daughters eight

In all that time I ain’t caught a case

Long time I ain’t been active

I just been milking this rap shit

I don’t know nothing bout corn and flake

If I let something slide

You ain’t worth the 25

That’s for my son and my daughters sake

I come from where our father figures

Are the hardest niggas

Shotters, robbers

Heartless killers

This cant be the image

But that’s only half of the picture

Mum let her boys get away with murder

But she was hard on my sister

Pardon my history

Family affair they all part of my victory

I am no fatherless infant

But I was brought up with my aunties assistance

And even though I don’t live where I grew up I still cant keep my distance

How can I let my kids only ever say father at Christmas

I got kids relying on me

I cant keep the iron on me

Babe can sleep on Ghetts but please stop lying on me

My babymum is a keeper I just do what she requires of me

The last time me and Jess spoke I said don’t go dying on me

Unconditional love

That get through anything miracle love

That nothing cant top this pinnacle love

That spiritual love

That’s that original love

Our family

Proud family

From my granny to my children

Mum you raised a real one

My nephew coming soon

Got a cousin I ain’t spoken to in years

But I still got love for you
