Family matters, It's in the last name Saturday mornings feel like a half day Time flies by until you've had enough Summer grilling and juice inside of a paper cup Something flew by, looked like a lightning bug But I say firefly My mama said if I could reach then I could touch the sky And now I feel so high, but am I high enough? I do this for my brother The best thing to come from father and my mother If I could bet 500 on him I would bet 1,000 Might make an album about him But first I'll get mine My dad won me some trophies for a car made of pine Back when the only thing I had right after school was time And I could do whatever, two dinners in November Two Christmases, double the presents, half the time together Sometimes it really hurts, I'm molded by the dirt Without my brother by my side it only got so worse I don't know God but all my life I always went to church And when I stopped I thought, "Well maybe he's inside the earth" I, I love you What makes it harder through the fights Is that you'll always be by my side Even when the day turns night You'll always be by my side Family matters, I saw the damn tape Winnie the Pooh and beer in the same place I saw the anger and rage behind the door yelling I was only a child, I'd only been seven I'd try to forget, I must've forgot Trauma repression, I'm always on the clock A quiet kid that dragged his feet, was always kicking rocks Anxious little latino, I was a chicken POC I sometimes have these dreams about my brother dying 14-20, waking up and crying Just like I did the day that he had left for college Thank god he's finally home now spending some time with mama She's always worked so hard, only had me and Chris I'm grateful now that she can see all of her bros and sisters Can't think of what it's like, all of the sacrifice I know she's tired after work and staying up all night, rest up mama I, I love you What makes it harder through the fights Is that you'll always be by my side Even when the day turns night You'll always be by my side Family matters, it's still a process A light of forgiveness but it's not on yet My brother told me "stick to what your heart says" "I look up to you in forgiving our dad nick" And I'm trying to feel more comfortable at home It wasn't always easy, could really use a break Why can't I look into my mama's eyes from god's sake I hate to see her cry and her to see me lie And I can almost see the day that I will get mine Not make the same mistakes, I'm sure that I'll be great Maybe someday Yeah maybe someday I, I love you What makes it harder through the fights Is that you'll always be by my side Even when the day turns night You'll always be by my side What makes it harder through the fights Is that you'll always be by my side Even when the day turns night You'll always be by my side
