From an early age, followed you around
mimicked your every move, cuz I thought it was cool
I had a lot to prove, to this brotherhood
fall in strap up your boots and comes from my roots
family over everythang, I promise this ain't a new thang
like the rising sun, we'll come up as one
cuz blood is thicker than water preach this to your sons and daughters
Chorus:
F.A.M.I.L.I. I'ma take this to the casket yellin F.A.M.I.L.I. (x4)
Much Respects to all my brothas who can't be with us
much respects to all my sistas who grew up with us
this life we learn to cope, it's just the G in us
even thought the times are hard, your head just keep it up
Chorus:
F.A.M.I.L.I. I'ma take this to the casket yellin F.A.M.I.L.I. (x4)
One in a million, close since we're real young
fed from the same spoon, shared the same room
no need for any more proof
Chorus:
F.A.M.I.L.I. I'ma take this to the casket yellin F.A.M.I.L.I. (x4)
