We tough as nails in my familyYou mess with them, yo, you messin' with meWouldn't believe the shit we've been throughMark my words, better me than youWe was brought up in a battle groundEvery third day, thugs be comin' aroundThey been sent the way 'cause we were boundTo bear the burden of what went downIt was our businessEven if it hurt we were self righteousSocial services parked outsideTried to take us awayMama wouldn't abide, na, na, naWe've laughed and we've criedThrough the hardships we've been tiedYou gotta chose your battles rightKnow when to forfeit, know when to fightWe get a little bit closer every time we rideA little bit tougher every time we dieA little better 'cause at least we triedA little bit nicer 'cause we know we flySongtexteThat's how we roll in my familyTo add insult to injuryIf you use a knife, cut straight to boneGo hard or go homeA couple cuts and bruises were easy to hideSun glasses hide a black eyeBut you can't run away from a black soulSo many secrets we never toldWhy your clothes be dirty'Why your hair all messy'Why you look so ill'Couldn't pay the water billHad to keep the light on for the homeworkSo excuse us, we got a couple of quirksI trivialize 'cause the truth hurtsSo much more than a little dirtEven if it's all bottled up insideIt's a lot more noble than a suicideWe survive, we alive, we got prideWe be tightYou know we ride to a certain degreeTo keep that shit in the familyWe get a little bit closer every time we rideA little bit tougher every time we dieA little better 'cause at least we triedA little bit nicer 'cause we know we flyThat's how we roll in my familyTo add insult to injuryIf you use a knife, cut straight to boneGo hard or go homeIt takes a lot more courage to loveThan it does to hateAnyone who's got a family can relateAin't never really dissipatesMay take my whole life to get it straightBut it makes me who I amAnd I wouldn't trade that for nothin'We get a little bit closer every time we rideA little bit tougher every time we dieA little better 'cause at least we triedA little bit nicer 'cause we know we flyThat's how we roll in my familyTo add insult to injuryIf you use a knife, cut straight to boneGo hard or go home Aus Songtexte Mania
