Family by MC Sn@ck T1me Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1: MC Sn@ck T1me]
I had plenty of fathers
But I never had any brothers
Had some hopeful candidates
A few serious offers
But for one reason or another
We both flaked
Or showed up a few years late
I always felt guilt
For the family I had
Cuz most of my peers
Never know one dad
Their world revolved around a single mother
An overworked woman
Taken advantage by lovers
[Chorus: Melia Fields & Alexis Buescher]
Broken hearts
Come from broken homes
Broken bones
Come from sticks and stones
Broken crowns
Spill from toppled thrones
Shattered lives
Come with broken bones
[Verse 2: MC Sn@ck T1me]
Maybe she was the type to blame it on you?
Raised you to think men weren't true
Grew up thinking you'd abandon her too
Now proving her right
Is all you know how to do
Maybe you were strong
And knew right from wrong
Learned about love
Stepped up early on
Then a few years later
You met this girl
You didn't have much
But you wanted to give her the world
2 years later and your getting married
But mama won't come
She's home getting buried
In bottles in cans in shots and glasses
She'll never get to know her grandkids
[Chorus: Melia Fields & Alexis Buescher]
Broken hearts
Come from broken homes
Broken bones
Come from sticks and stones
Broken crowns
Spill from toppled thrones
Shattered lives
Come with broken bones
[Verse 3: MC Sn@ck T1me]
Maybe you lived
With both of your parents
They loved you enough
But their hate was apparent
They taught you how to stay
Never learned to leave
Now your stuck with your man
And you're running out of steam
Maybe you couldn't have
The children he wanted
He blames it on you
And now this house feels haunted
So you take the way out
Though ambulance doors
And as you fade out
You see the life you ignored
Or maybe you made up your mind
To break the cycles
Argued your case
And won at your trial
You made a better life
For you and your kids
And found a piece of mind
For your heart to live
[Chorus: Melia Fields & Alexis Buescher]
Broken hearts
Come from broken homes
Broken bones
Come from sticks and stones
Broken crowns
Spill from toppled thrones
Shattered lives
Come with broken bones
[Bridge: MC Sn@ck T1me]
The family we make is all that we've got
The family we break is all that we've lost
The family we make is all that we've got
It's all that we needed
Despite what we've lost
[Chorus: Melia Fields & Alexis Buescher]
Broken hearts
Come from broken homes
Broken bones
Come from sticks and stones
Broken crowns
Spill from toppled thrones
Shattered lives
Come with broken bones
