Some Family Songtext
von Gabriel Teodros

It′s not an easy song to write
But the story wouldn't be complete without this one
Some of the fires that shape our lives
They′re not the loud and explosive kind
Sometimes it's a slow burn


When friendships fall apart, it's a rip in the heart
It′s worse than a breakup depending how far
Histories involved, this album and all
I got some new info, I had to make a call
You didn′t want to talk about it at all
Now I remind you of the truth that you run from
You know I know what you won't admit to no one
I wasn′t judging, just wanted a discussion
Thought you were a close one, but you stay running
I guess some folks would just rather talk about nothing
Have fun on your own then, I hope you heal some
For you and the family that you don't want to see
I don′t know why I thought you would be better to me
I guess 20 years wasn't what I thought it would be
Maybe some trauma goes so deep you can′t see
My doors been open but I know you won't reach

Some family you are born into
Some family is who you choose
The past can't dictate how we move
But if we don′t learn from it, watch what we do
Some family you are born into
Some family is who you choose
We all lose loved one way too soon
What′s worse, when some choose to lose you


Big homie, I patterned my life some
In ways that I learned from you as young one
I remember you showed love when nobody was then
There's doors that have opened cuz of songs that we made when
We struggled to pay rent, man back in the days it
Always meant something to connect
I made sure to represent
The whole crew in interviews, albums and events
But the whole truth isn′t something that I knew yet
When it came to real spit, you would run so quick
And you don't owe it to me, but this is not a friendship
You told the world we were family, but this isn′t it
I got no response to the olive branches I sent
I'm in mourning, tryna find the lesson in this
But sometimes heartbreak is just what it is
Our friendship may no longer exist
But I hope you heal, and connect with your kid

Some family you are born into
Some family is who you choose
The past can′t dictate how we move
But if we don't learn from it, watch what we do
Some family you are born into
Some family is who you choose
We all lose loved one way too soon
What's worse, when some choose to lose you

Some family you are born into
Some family is who you choose
We all lose loved one way too soon
What′s worse, when some choose to lose you
Some family you are born into
Some family is who you choose
The past can′t dictate how we move
But if we don't learn from it, then we all gon lose
