Tone $mee 123 - Fo My Family Lyrics

Alright, first of all, I ain't no R&B singer man, alri-ight
I just harmonize a lil bit
Speak the truth
When it's cold outside, where do I go
Who can I turn to
My niggaz, I was raised on deze streets, came up in deze streets
Hung out wit my homies, doin thangs wit my peeps
From runnin from police, to comin fuh yo piece
Gimme dat what you got, fo you get yo ass beat
Bangin on the blockk, open up, uh, shop
Husslin fuh dem dollaz man, pushin dat uh rock
Mackin to dem hoes, jewelry cars n clothes
Pistol's and dem blunts man that's all a nigga, know
From fades and afro's to makin this cashflow
Who woulda eva thought that I would make it in rap, yo
I put dem packs down, I put dem gats down
All ova da globe they showin me love fa deze raps now
Dat's how they act now, they wanna chat now
Magazine's tv screens it's a rap now
Fuh da poverty, no mo sorry me
I'm comin up and I ain't goin back down
But I can't say it like it was all in vain
Cuz I learned from da game and I learned from da pain, yeah
When my mama use to say Boy live right
And my fatha use to say Keep yo shit tight
My grandmama use to say Live a good life
Have some kid's and marry you a good wife
And even tho back then I didn't do it right
I'm here to do it right now, make the sacrifice
Fo My Family, Hey, Hey
Fo My Family, Alright, Alright
Fo My Family, Hey, Hey
Fo My Family, Alri-e-ght
Fo My Family, Hey, Hey
Fo My Family, Alright, Alright
Fo My Family, Hey, Hey
Fo My Family, Alri-i-ight
Fo my niggaz in dem jail cells cold as hell
Locked away n ain't got no bail, yeah
Ain't no way that you should neva eva give up
Just like 2pac said Keep ya head up
Make a plan, have a dream, neva let go
Cuz even Martin Luther King's Dream came true
Whether fail or succeed, only blame you
You do what you do, let me do what I do
Cuz I'ma man and ain't nothin gonna change
My memories in this game take me wayy back
To da park, it was ours
And it's gon always have a place in my heart
Shootin ball, on dat black top
When we all sported fades, braids or flat tops
Runnin up da block, 85th street
84Th, 83rd, 81st street
Fo My Family, Hey, Hey
Fo My Family, Alright, Alright
Fo My Family, Hey, Hey
Fo My Family, Alri-e-ght
Fo My Family, Hey, Hey
Fo My Family, Alright, Alright
Fo My Family, Hey, Hey
Fo My Family, Alri-i-ight
It's good to see ya face, so I hug and I embrace ya
Cuz livin outta states a bitch and I couldn't wait to
Let u know I miss ya, come on let's take a picture
Put it on the wall at my crib, though I'm not there wit ya
I think about you everydaay, that's in every way
Da things we use to do when I was a little shorty way
Back in the day it was all good, livin in our hood
Then we come to y'all hood, it was all good
Though sometimes we use to argue and fuss amongst each other
We still loved one anotha and help one anotha
Use to fight fo each otha, when we got it on
N I still think about da times tho da times are gone
Fo My Family, Hey, Hey
Fo My Family, Alright, Alright
Fo My Family, Hey, Hey
Fo My Family, Alri-e-ght
It's Fo My Family, Hey, Hey
Fo My Family, Alright, Alright
Fo My Family, Hey, Hey
Fo My Family, Alri-i-ight
To all our family members resting in peace
We love you and we miss you
Your memories will forever live on through each and every one of us
The day upon which this life ends
We shall meet again in the ranks of the Lord
Amen
