Mike McGovern - Family Tree Lyrics

This one feels good
It does, ah
Gone be real though
Man
It'll be sixteen years in a month
I fear it's no longer fame that I want
From an outside view it might appear that I'm stuck
I give up like 20 times a week, enough is enough
I told my mother, I'm gone make it
Told my dad that I got him
My sister's a boss woman, she'll never have a problem
I promised my parents I'd get a beach front home like
One of these albums will go gold
That's probably why I'm pacing round this God forsaken studio
It used to feel like paradise in here, where's Coolio
I developed a habit
Of thinkin' the chance was there but I didn't grab it
It's like I'm a panic attack addict but I gotta win

How strong can a family be
Can't knock my family tree
Awwh yeah
How strong can a family be
Can't knock my family tree
We're gone be singing in the morning

What's up Ma? The doors unlocked, just come in
You probably heard me screaming from the living room didn't ya
She says, The pressure from the work day's hitting ya
Take the night off, go film a funny video
Or we can watch something silly on the tv
I feel ashamed when I shut her down, like see these
This one here will be the one to make it happen, and one here you'll hate because I'm dirty rapping
And as she turns to leave the room I feel a sadness hit me
I made a promise to my family, God has gotta get me
My father's working six days a week, I need to change that
They gave me everything I have, now I pay it back
Dad, you're way more than Cedar Avenue, and I hope that I make you proud by what I'm 'bout to do
And yo Mad, let's go to the beach, I haven't seen my OG best friend in weeks, sheesh

How strong can a family be
Can't knock my family tree
Awwh yeah
How strong can a family be
Can't knock my family tree
We're gone be singing in the morning

Everybody's together for Thanksgiving dinner, I'm thankful
Mom Mom with the pumpkin roll, Aunt Shannon with the baked mac and cheese
How strong can a family be
And that's my family tree, hey
