What ya know about being on a cruise Come back to New Jers feelin confused Get in the car all a sudden pops Tellin me that Grandmama heart stops Mixed with emotion all this commotion Got me so stressed wish there was a potion To take away the pain that resists within Memories of the hospital conversation Runnin through my mind my Grandmama true Asked me if I don't get signed what I'm a do Told her ain't no if the question is when She said when she don't see no money when's it comin in Little did I know this would be the last time I speak to her now all I do is find Pictures from the past I think of her laugh My eyes soggy Grandmama safe at last You can see in my eyes Pain I feel there no disguise This is how I feel inside This is how my family ties You can see in my eyes Pain I feel there no disguise This is how I feel inside This is how my family ties Two days later I'm at the wake I see her in the casket I think it's fake It's really her, my eyes start to blur She can't look at me I can look at her One uncle bounce to go get my cousin Drop off his baby and her mama he buggin Back to the wake where another woman wait If they never meet to him that be great Other uncle a little more complex Two women there and one's his ex His ex's tell my aunt she love that man Can't understand ring on her left hand She engaged and anyway how are they Gonna disrespect their mother's life that way These women comin in with different shifts They ain't thinkin of they mom's they thinkin of they You can see in my eyes Pain I feel there no disguise This is how I feel inside This is how my family ties You can see in my eyes Pain I feel there no disguise This is how I feel inside This is how my family ties Two of my aunt's wanna beef with my mom Whenever there's a problem they go to my mom One jealous of my mom that my godmother Other aunt think she can yell at my mother I don't get involved I pay it no mind Both aunts done with my mom that's fine My godmother ignore my momma's calls Has my uncle say I'll tell her you called Shady Shady these my family ties how crazy Maybe They'd be adults and stop actin like babies Grandmama's fear would her kids get along By these actions she wasn't wrong Over 50 years and you can't behave These actions'll make her turn in her grave You can see in my eyes Pain I feel there no disguise This is how I feel inside This is how my family ties You can see in my eyes Pain I feel there no disguise This is how I feel inside This is how my family ties
