Wexon - Family Ties Lyrics

Yeah thought I knew everything
But sometimes the truth's buried deep
The pain's heavier when it's from your own blood

It's been a minute since we lost Jay
Still feel the pain like it happened yesterday
I replay that night over and over in my head
Tryna make sense of how he ended up dead
Then I started hearin whispers in the street
Shit that didn't add up stories incomplete
Folks talkin bout the shooter like they knew
But nobody ever said who pulled the trigger too

How could it be his own blood
A father's hands stained with love turned mud
Never saw it comin never thought it'd be
The man who made him took him away from me
How could it be his own kin
All the lies all the hurt within
The truth hit like a bullet from behind
Jay's own dad he crossed that line

Found out the truth from a source I can't name
Jay's pops wasn't innocent played a deadly game
He was deep in the streets too far gone
Had debts had problems that were carryin on
Jay got caught in the middle wrong place wrong time
Didn't know his own blood would commit that crime
Man the weight of it crushed me inside
All this time I thought it was random but he tried to hide
His own dad supposed to protect his life
But greed and demons had him grippin that knife

How could it be his own blood
A father's hands stained with love turned mud
Never saw it comin never thought it'd be
The man who made him took him away from me
How could it be his own kin
All the lies all the hurt within
The truth hit like a bullet from behind
Jay's own dad he crossed that line

Jay's little sister don't even know
She thinks her daddy's hurt but that truth won't show
How can I tell her who really put him down
Her whole world would crumble to the ground
I'm stuck with this secret eatin at my soul
But I can't break her heart with what I know
The man who made him the man she still loves
Took her big brother broke every bond above

How could it be his own blood
A father's hands stained with love turned mud
Never saw it comin never thought it'd be
The man who made him took him away from me
How could it be his own kin
All the lies all the hurt within
The truth hit like a bullet from behind
Jay's own dad he crossed that line

Now I live with the weight of what I know
But I'll carry Jay's name wherever I go
His own blood man it's hard to forgive
But Jay's memory is why I'll continue to live
I won't let this truth break me apart
I'll keep Jay alive in my mind in my heart
