Jaay Noir - Family Affairs Lyrics

Yeah, papa was a
Papa was a rolling stone

Papa was a rolling stone, mama was the hardest worker
Daddy he was never home, mama she was always working
Dropped us off at granny's house
Home cooked meals and hand-me-downs
Hugs and whooping's handed out
That right there what family's bout
Lectures on the lord and life, how they lived a poorer life
Thankful for that core advice, I hope that I absorbed it right
I cannot afford this pride, my ego bout to break the bank
All I want to do is shine, I think I need another chain
All I want to do is shine, so don't you bring me any shade
Made it out the darkest times, my darker side don't feel the pain
This heart of mine the harder kind, no sleeve could ever hold the weight
This heart of mine the harder kind, no code could ever crack the safe

I was in my room playing Tunes and Nintendo
Just playing Tunes and Nintendo
I was in my room playing Tunes and Nintendo
Just playing Tunes and Nintendo

Papa was a rolling stone, mama was the hardest worker
Daddy he was never home, mama she was always working
Dropped us off at granny's house, now I'm older hanging out
Late at night I gather round the homies on the battleground
Smoking, drinking, fighting, anything to fill the void
We would buy it, stash it, sell it, but we never get employed
Hitting licks and stealing shit cause we were robbed of all our joy
When it's a matter of survival, all but mine can be destroyed
Yeah this energy should've been used for something greater
Not once speeding through this cycle did we ever think to break it
Not once living this reality did we ever think to change it
I've been changing, yeah I've been changing for my younger self

I was in my room playing Tunes and Nintendo
Just playing Tunes and Nintendo
I was in my room playing Tunes and Nintendo
Just playing Tunes and Nintendo
I was in my room playing Tunes and Nintendo
Just playing Tunes and Nintendo
I was in my room playing Tunes and Nintendo
Just playing Tunes and Nintendo

Tunes and Nintendo, Tunes and Nintendo
Tunes and Nintendo, Tunes and Nintendo
