BROCKHAMPTON - The Family Lyrics

Motherf*ckers be sayin'
"Say this, but don't, don't say like that though, say it this way
'Cause you gotta think about all of us, represent all of-"
Motherf*ckers be
Motherf*ckers mean the niggas I came up with
Motherf*ckers meanin' myself

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"

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

Merlyn saw the Sugar video, asked if I sold my soul to the devil
In some ways, I guess I did, because 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 flew, it became harder to leave
Everybody got a 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 waking you up when you sleep
I don't feel guilty for cutting your verse from this beat
I don't feel guilty for heat you caught from my tweets
Their 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 shit about me, y'all don't know shit about me
Quit talkin' sh-

I know I should've called you sober (you sober)
'Cause I'm right back on my own (keep me alone)
Devil on my shoulder laughin'
Sayin', "Kevin, don't forget you're alone" (alone)

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'
I know what it's like but it's so different

You tried to keep it alive
Oh
But I'll be fine
So we ain't goin', so baby
Woo
You tried to keep it alive
But I'll be fine
Oh, yes, you did
Woo
