This is a song about family When I was eleven my father was drunk And he told me to sit like a father and son Have a drink And my mama was workin And though I would rather be anywhere else I sat and I drank as he talked to himself like a hero But the man is a zero A ten year old girl came into the room Unaware of the gloom unaware of the doom She only came in there to use the bathroom But her followed her in and he sealed the tomb I went to the door but the handle was locked And I stood there in horror half-drunk and in shock I won't say what he said as he came out the door But I'll never forget it I tell you for sure Love your mommy Love your daddy We're a happy family This is a song about family And as I grew older and I learned the truth About what my father was like in his youth It disgusted me Cos he treated the women and children the same But his family covered the truth in the name of the family Cos my granny couldn't handle it My uncle now he was the chief of police They cleared up his name and they got him released I guess nobody figured my mama should know That her man was a criminal, sexual beast As long as my father was out of their hair What they don't know well they don't have to care And they turned him loose on the children As they sent him out into the world Blood to water and water to wine It's all water under the bridge And I carried it with me through all of my life Motherfucker I know what you did Cos I fucking hated you I looked down on you Even though I was only a kid And we learned to be men and we learned it by doing The opposite things of all of the things that you did Love your mommy Love your daddy We're a happy family This is a song about family And now for his family I'll say just a few Bout this situation and bout my relations with you All but a few Cos all of our lives we would be treated Like you was the anti-Semitics and we was the Jews And that shit is true We full of the lies We full of the pain We full of his blood And we full of his shame And we sick of the curse of the family name Ima change my name to Withajay And all of the pain that my mama been through I contribute a part of it all unto you Maybe this is the reason you drink and you drink and you drink Just to bury the truth Blood to water and water to wine It's all water under the bridge And I carried it with me through all of my life Motherfucker I know what you did Cos I fucking hated you I looked down on you Even though I was only a kid And we learned to be men and we learned it by doing The opposite the opposite things Blood to water and water to wine It's all water under the bridge And I carried it with me through all of my life Motherfucker I know what you did Cos I fucking hated you I looked down on you Even though I was only a kid And we learned to be men and we learned it by doing The opposite things of all of the things that you did Love your mommy Love your daddy We're a happy family This is a song about family This is a song about family
