An open letter to my family We got family ties, tighter than twisty ties Tangled terribly all together in a drawer next to the knives We've witnessed and shared in each of our struggles You're my brothers, sisters, cousins, thicker than Ma's biggest band of rubber My brother I grew up with you, you were my first friend Man, I'm gonna love you 'til the frickin' end I've watched you grow from the days when you waddled as a toddler To a brilliant young man, yo who's 'bout to be a doctor Bro I'm so proud, haven't always said it aloud But you're an amazing human being, now I'll shout it out loud You're kind, caring, compassionate, and intelligent Hell-bent on lending a helping hand to everyone that you can As an EMT, man you're hard to beat In every video game we played since 2003 I started strong and you got better I plateaued quickly, you were sharper than cheddar We both went to college and you actually got through it We all knew it would happen, we can see that I blew it But you supported me when so many others didn't bother Shoutout to my mother, brother and father We got family ties, that's a bond for life We fought struggle and we fought strife If ever you call, y'all know I'll be there We've lived through this shit and y'all know I care We've seen our highs, we've seen our lows And I don't want to see any of you all go Forever family, man we're bonded in blood You couldn't wish to be in a better club Mom I never said how much I love you Wish you were near so I could frickin' hug you You're smarter than you'll ever give yourself credit to I got a part of me from a part of you And dad I've always known I've been a bother Hit you up for money when I lived as a squatter You're the man I want to be in the world Learned from you and mom how to properly treat a girl I wanna emulate you in every way Even allow myself to go bald before grey You love me no matter what, unconditionally And I love you more than life, don't you ever leave me This extends from my parents to aunts and uncles You were my bridge over trouble, Simon to Garfunkel Each one of you my parent on an extended branch Treating me like a son and never changing your stance Though some have passed on, though some are far away I love you all the more with each passing day Whether we'd gone into Boston or were slinging peach rings You are my life, you are my everything We got family ties, that's a bond for life We fought struggle and we fought strife If ever you call, y'all know I'll be there We've lived through shit and y'all know I care We've seen our highs, we've seen our lows And I don't want to see any of you go Forever family, bonded in blood You couldn't wish to be in a better club My cousins growing up, we were close to each other Than Childish Gambino is to Donald Glover We grew up as best friends, hung out every day The school bus would drop me off at your house on its way Or I'd trek over after school for Doctor Phil It's these memories that keep me feeling real We've been through shit, but we keep getting better We've weathered many storms even snow in November Spent ten days that year going on without power Started going to school before we could even shower Used to build houses out of clippings from the mower Never saw inside the barn, but we saw it fall over Rugrats livin' under a wonderful roof With a grandmother who has nothing to prove Everyone who has has been lucky to meet this lady She practically raised every generation's babies Over an old set of Lincoln Logs, and several board games At Camp Granny, by the brook, or on a walk through the rain You scared us to Hell when you went to bore a hole Always kind and compassionate, never lost control Always (Serving as) the perfect model in every one of your roles As a grandma and a person, as an actor and a goal You created the tear-resistant life bonds we see today We got family ties ti-i-i-i-ighter than Beyonce's braids We got family ties, that's a bond for life We fought struggle and we fought strife If ever you call, y'all know I'll be there We've lived through shit and y'all know I care We've seen our highs, we've seen our lows And I don't want to see any of you go Forever family, bonded in blood You couldn't wish to be in a better club Yeah. You know what it is. Cardboardi B. Odd Hal. We out...
