Why do kids gotta be the anchor For parents to stay above water Cause momma loved daddy But daddy ain’t father so momma left daddy And daddy left momma Son doesn’t know why momma was sadden He see momma crying he asking what happen Ma why you crying what makes you so sadden Cause daddy was slacking cause daddy be rapping Daddy was up in Chicago the land He come pick up son every now and then When daddy see son he call him Jsteezzy Then momma stop crying cause dad came to see me Momma tell daddy take care of my son Daddy ask Jalen aint we gon have fun I smile so big cause daddy my hero I tied up two people but string be so feeble Ties I’m talking bout my family ties I tried ohh I did try But when you was born into madness There isn’t to fixing what happens Just pray you don’t be too damaged When I was younger I ain’t understand pain Why I ain’t see grandparents in the same place Ain’t figure out till I was like 8 Back in the day they used to be married that love at first sight But grandma not happy cause they always fight So grandma left granddaddy got on a flight My momma was younger she prolly don’t know it My grandma was hurting but prolly ain’t show it Grandmomma tell me that life really bogus But life really long no time for that low shit Got married in 20s divorced in ha 30s now grandmomma 60 She happy I love it Granddaddy struggle with life he do show it I really don’t like him don’t want him to know it But I just can’t stand it when family in pain I want to be hero but gone is that string He called me JJ when I was like 8 He do got my number but never call me He wanted to know me At one time felt the same But dark days came He went MIA, I really ain’t seen him since I was 14 Turing 17 bout to graduate I love him for real don’t wanna be distant This distance shows glimpses of family resentment Ties I’m talking bout my family ties I tried ohh I did try But when you was born into madness There isn’t to fixing what happens Just pray you don’t end up too damaged Ties I’m talking bout my family ties I tried ohh I did try But when you was born into madness There isn’t to fixing what happens Just pray you don’t end up too damaged Daddy had a son at 19 Daddy had the world up in his hands Daddy had dreams daddy was rappin But daddy wanted to chase his so momma did let him But daddy had children wit multiple women I got like 4 sisters 2 brothers what happened When daddy got shot, when daddy did pass Had one on the way more kids with no dad My grandma the anchor for all of the siblings Grandmomma struggle to help daddy children Grandma was fighting for shit on the side See grandma was fighting for all of our lives But grandma fell ill see grandma fell sick The ties between siblings had start to loosen And Jalen ain’t seen his 3 sisters and his lil brother since bout 2010 since I was bout 6 Wait thought there was 4 what happened to 1 Her name is Alona we 5 years apart I do have her number but be scared to call it I love my lil sis do she love me regardless Battles for brother I know I do love her Then why I am I scared to make sure covered At least say hello, like how are you doing The battle for love and I am just losing My other 3 sisters I love em to death And if I do not see em my biggest regret Could walk down the street could walk in a target She ring up my shit and I walk away harmless Hope one day we can meet in real life Get more closer together to see eye to eye I just wrote this song ain’t write a damn lie Tryna keep strings tightened family ties Ties I’m talking bout my family ties I try ohh I did try But when you was born into madness There isn’t to fixing what happens Just pray you don’t be too damaged
