[00:00.00]Love Your Family ()-Cormega /Havoc
[00:21.173]I got a daughter I support her open heartedly
[00:23.403]It bothers me how fathers
[00:25.222]Be havin'children irresponsibly
[00:27.22]How could I not nurture what I conceived
[00:29.750]Or deprive her she my prophecy
[00:31.850]As I stare in her eyes there's no despair deception
[00:34.550]Or awareness except when givin'affection
[00:37.110]She's the water that purifies me
[00:38.800]More than likely wearing jordans like me
[00:40.519]As she grows I'll expose her to all that I've seen
[00:42.679]Like the island of saint croy
[00:43.939]Where smile and she brings joy
[00:45.239]She the cover I'm the line
[00:46.469]Of what survival is based on
[00:47.979]How I teach her to stay strong
[00:49.369]And live through wilderness
[00:50.419]If I instill in her the will to live
[00:52.09]Shell get through it
[00:52.989]She my first seed my genesis
[00:54.449]My last bit of innocence
[00:55.889]My understanding wisdom brings
[00:57.318]What knowledge is given
[00:58.318]I hope to surround her with prominent figures
[01:00.38]So she can grow to be a positive woman
[01:02.27]And never doubts that I love her
[01:04.487]Ain't nothing like family
[01:06.267]Til they gone then u realize
[01:08.307]How much they meant to you
[01:10.77]More than a friend'll do
[01:11.467]Give em their roses while they're still alive
[01:13.487]I know the world's understanding me
[01:15.387]Go ahead show that love stop
[01:17.297]Tryin'to be a tough guy
[01:18.707]Cuz when they gone you'll be saying
[01:20.376]That you didn't get the chance
[01:21.706]To say you love em and you have to live with
[01:23.586]That for the rest of my life
[01:25.26]To the most 3influential women in my life
[01:28.115]My moms and sister and grandmoms alike
[01:30.334]Don't think you don't appreciate
[01:31.714]The love you give me
[01:33.223]And on my birthday the cards you send me
[01:35.653]Y'all will always be there
[01:36.943]When others ain't so friendly
[01:38.143]To me or to weather my life and never goin'empty
[01:40.622]No matter how rich I get I know you never envy
[01:43.382]No matter how broke
[01:44.671]I get I know you always help me
[01:46.801]No matter what I know that love is wealthy
[01:48.681]And all you care if I'm living or healthy
[01:51.470]And only something nice out
[01:52.770]Your mouth that you try to tell me
[01:54.220]And if I'm doing wrong won't hesitate to tell me
[01:56.520]Ayo that's the kinda love that I'm talking about
[01:59.129]So while you here I'm giving back
[02:00.829]That's what family's about
[02:02.148]If there's anything you need
[02:03.388]No matter what the price
[02:04.808]Try to get it even if it means giving my life
[02:07.518]Because ain't nothing like family

[02:12.58]How much they meant to you

[02:34.674]Gave your heart or soul
[02:35.664]Rich or poor
[02:36.664]There would always be a pot on the stove
[02:38.584]You made sure we had a roof over
[02:40.294]Our head and clothes for school
[02:42.14]And discipline soon as we opposed the rules
[02:44.624]A hard head made us soft but
[02:46.394]When we was comin'up
[02:47.604]You gave us advice on what life
[02:49.103]Would have in store for us
