Lyrics:
changes
It's a family affair; it's a family affair
It's a family affair, it's a family affair, it's a family affair
Try for sleep, why don't you try for
the wire
They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what
Some Minnie Ripperton will definitely set this party off right
Yes it will
Oh, yes it will
Sly and the Family Stone (Sly and the Family Stone
up to be a family man
And I don't suppose I'll ever go
But when I hear that whistle blow
I think of my old love affair again
That train keeps
family West, but it's whatever
In a glass house still throwing stones
Hova, Beysus, watch the thrones (Happy in love)
You did some things to me
Boy,
She's got dinner on the table at seven
The kids are tucked in bed by nine-fifteen
And she's headed for a hotel at eleven
To meet a man her family's
the wire
They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what
Or a fast love affair
The man on the wall
Is his symbol of freedom
It means he has brothers
Who believe as he does
She is moved by
The thing that
we built
I hope, that they have better understanding
Check it out
Goin' to work on Monday
Check it out
Got yourself a family
Check it out
All
the Family Stone
And just like New Year's Day was made to reminisce
Oh oh oh oh
We were made for this
Love and stardust settle on us like a net
While
, it's a family affair
Candy paint, sweetsa dank, it's a family affair
[Bun B]
Go down to Texas, represented by long lines and G's
Where niggas'll
of the
Year."
Now I've been asked by all the delegates--and members of the board,
To tell you of the funeral that won me this award.
It was handled with taste
like a stone
Won't you please call my family
Tell them not to cry
My goodbyes are written
By the moon in the sky
Say nobody knows me
I've got no
the wire
They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line, it's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's
Line of limousines leaving one by one
The prayers been prayed the hands been sung
Black mascara has already run
But the tears keep flowing
You
me, doctor?
I went back to my mother
I said, "I'm crazy ma, help me."
She said, "I know how it feels son,
Cause it runs in the family."
Can you
me, doctor?
I went back to my mother
I said, "I'm crazy ma, help me."
She said, "I know how it feels son,
Cause it runs in the family."
Can you
the family secret of her mystery
Whispers, how they sound like raindrops.
Hush now, we'll make it alright.
She's framed by the front porch light.
Uh huh,
Put in position to wage teenage mayhem
A common affair for the ones who are juiced
If it is weakness that grants us the power
We thrive on what's
wish I was cold as stone
Almost turned around in Mississippi
Pulled over on the shoulder along the way
Thought by now, I'd be fine
But all these
fryin'
The family's behind you if you're worthy
Philosophies developed deep in the back streets of dirty Jersey
Troops with scully hats and Timberland
known
Numbed by reaction
Stripped of the trust
A young heart is broken
Not aware that it's just
A family tradition
The strength of this
Here comes one for the ladies
For the ones who love me
To think I thought I could be some kind of family man
I told myself I was straight
But I
need for more and more
You can bump off every member of your family
And anybody else you find a bore
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
