[Verse 1]
It's hard to break down your family, look my family's made me break down
So angry, like face down in the pantry, I'm talkin about those
Many heavy tensions, resentments don't get talked about
That maybe should, maybe they'd do some good if we could work em out

But you know the past what with its wicked shackles
I look at the past and what we been made to tackle
Some are insane obstacles (what?) I mean obstacles, gotta give props
To Mom, phenomenal, she operated with child support lacking when Dad was optional

And sister and brother got issues they wish to uncover
No tissues when I had discovered, just shock, felt like I had fists of rubber
Wrists of blubber, body limp, damn my family's been through things
That changed my whole perspective like plot twists to show detectives and

My head's in a knot, my depression is hittin the spot
It's a blessin, believe it or not, my mama's wonderin what I'm talking about
It's better to rot than confessin your innermost thoughts
That's what I thought til I grabbed the mic, now everyone's wonderin what I'm talking about

[Chorus]
I learned to sing cause there are things in life that sting
And what we bring to the mic is topics that I thought you'd wanna talk about
Cause we got problems in our family, broken bottles if you feel me
I wanna feel the love so we can work it out

I learned to sing cause there are things in life that sting
And what we bring to the mic is topics that I thought you'd wanna talk about
Cause we got problems in our family, broken bottles if you feel me
I need to feel the love so we can work it out

[Verse 2]
I remember this one fight in the car, sucks, it damaged me
Ran behind the nearby Starbucks, and cried until my mom's text
I got inside the car and everyone was silent,
sister reachin back to hold my hand, no opening my eyelids

We got home, I told her we can't seem to all go out together
Without settlin out whatever, or these shouts will sprout forever
Don't think my family wasn't close to me, the opposite
We're stars up in the sky until a comet hits, how hard is it?

To understand the push and pull of family roots that fun deep
I think I have a few fans who know exactly what I mean
Dysfunction's nothing new, it can be subtle or subdued,
But it's always been conspicuous, rich or poor some ridiculous

Shit is happening right now, legal battles in the court
Could be divorce, restraining orders, or a fight now,
Down to depression, anxiety, tension, broken sobrieties
We all got family issues, mine inspire me

(Talkin) What else can they can do? I'm through with them beating me down. . .

[Chorus]
I learned to sing cause there are things in life that sting
And what we bring to the mic is topics that I thought you'd wanna talk about
Cause we got problems in our family, broken bottles if you feel me
I wanna feel the love so we can work it out
