Текст песни Family Picture - WZA

"It takes a lot to get up to start workin', like again on stage
Because then your mind ain't there, and you're tryna go for it, and greed... is a bitch Greed is like 'Go ahead, do it they offer you so much money'
And you're greedy and then your manager is larger than anything, right?
It's like 'But you're not like that, you don't wanna rip people off
Tryna do this and... You go out there and you make an ass of yourself...
Embarrass your friends and...
Hold your dick"

For my friends never been more grateful
For my family forever stay faithful
On everything there's nothing tasteful
But i know that momma held it down, and she always kept the plates full
Never knew my father well 'fore his last day
I thought that shit'll fuck me up in one or two ways
By the time I paid attention it was too late
And it wasn't hard to learn to get my shoes laced
'Cause my bro, my other literal half
He really taught me how to always keep my foot on the gas
And mow the lawn 'fore I ever lay* a foot in the grass
Blast the Chronic 1 and 2 in the back, but now it's gone in a flash
It's sad as a motherfucker, I know
But man you'll always be the baddest motherfucker I know
Even though he's dug deep down, I know that he's still around
Watching from the sidelines, and I'm betting he's still proud
Wish we'd gather 'round and take a family picture
Like the old days, now, I look at family pictures
All alone thinking where I belong is back home when the family miss you
But I'm tryna get this bag home
If you doubt I'm coming back then you're dead wrong
All I'm doing now is chicken scratchin' sad songs
'Cause they love a another sad song
Right?

So, we parted our ways, it took a couple of planes to meet a couple of real ones
From the same old shithole, fresh outta water on the same ol' fish pole
Now we share a much better zip code, commence to get spliffs rolled
But then it was three, the number went up to five, next thing i know it was six
Then one of them just left, they had to deal with they shit
With one of them, I couldn't believe i got myself in this shit, uh-oh
Now there was four of us, then it was three again, this shit make no sense
Gone in a blink, I should be seeing a shrink, or I'm just way too pissed
One of my biggest fears is not getting over this shit
Got the memories but, there ain't that many of us
In my mind, shit, there's always gon' be plenty of us
And to y'all i got nothing to say
But i'm really tryna show you way more than these words convey (I swear)
I never thought I'd take this many family pictures
But you only wanna take 'em when the family gets you
I try to stay away from family shit, because it's all fun and games 'till the family diss you
Now this shit is out here looking like a family picture
Like i'm tryna make sure the entire squad remember
So, hurry up and take the family picture
'Fore I lose another motherfucking family member
Woah
