3 Me when you see me 3 Me when you see me 3 Me when you see me Had to do that shit 3 times Yea La Familia ain’t no familiar faces I got blood that seem more like strangers It’s dangerous, when I think about it And god forbid I ever speak about it If by chance my new family meets the old There’s a couple things that you really need to know There’s a few people that you really gotta meet And there’s a few people that you’ll never ever know Raised right by the women and did wrong by the men With this pen I carve my path and my name in cement They could hate it the fact I ain’t ever graduated Though it’s two years late I’m hoping this time I will make it Cross the stage on my way to that glory and fame Just to forget everything a nigga write on this page And though my family don’t understand the concept They understand that I was always meant to go beyond it What’s a scholarship when you could make a living off of writing your truth To my unborn kin just know I’m writing for you Trynna give you the good life, the one that I never knew And for that I gotta the leave past I’ll get back to it soon See in this moment I gotta find my place on this earth Still trynna find my voice That they put in the dirt So I put in the work, until a nigga fade And looking back I'm wondering who’s to blame La Familia ain’t no familiar faces I got blood that seem more like strangers It’s dangerous, when I think about it And god forbid I ever speak about it If by chance I grow up to be another screw up Ha, unlikely truth, bitch bite me This for every time that a nigga had it bad And had to face reality alone, where you at? I remember the first time I hopped on a stage Momma drove me to New York my words hopped off of the page Though ain’t nobody really f*ck with the shit that I say I still turned into a nigga making music for pay But grandma got different plans that’s handed down from generations thats way outta touch with now Don’t like the sound, they tell me pipe it down but f*ck your feelings I bet you don’t like me now The hyper active kid with a golden heart But his soul like coal, cause he torn apart Before my life was a movie, still played that part Now I’m older and I learned how to play that smart Now I got dreams nigga’s shooting for the moon Landed on the stars, ain’t nothing I could do So now I keep my family close after building my own I let my bloodline get cut from the rope
