[Verse 1]
[Am]Uh,
I [Bm]got an auntie who be raisin' her daughter's kids
She's 46, one is 1, one
is 2, others 4 and 6
Baby dad ain't really with
that supportive shit
[Am]I come to town iced
out [Bm]with the foreign drip
I got another cousin,
she the same age as me
Our [Am]lifestyles [Bm]completely
differ[Am]ent and ba[Bm]sically
Her baby dad beat her ass,
what I hate to see
[Am]Her black [Bm]eye as I cried,
it's a daily thing, uh
And here I am chasin' dream[Am]s
Ignorant with bliss,
worryin' 'bout plays and stream[Bm]s
The crazy part is they
don't even say a thing
[Am]They don't want me to worry,
just go and make the cream
I got [Bm]an aunt with a cheatin' husband,
always knew he bogus
[Am]Used to wear turtlenecks and some
Louis loafer[Bm]s
Comin' home to family struggles
got me losin' fo[Am]cus
I don't know how else to deal
so it's [D]too late now
I got a [Bm]brother out there who like 5 years old
I [Am]don't know why daddy
tried to hide your soul
No [Bm]blood test needed
'cause it just might be
Seen [Am]the picture,
lil' man lookin' just like [Bm]me

[Verse 2]
It be the ones that's [Am]closest
That go through the [Bm]motions
Maybe it's me that's
been [Em]selfish[Am]
Don't know why I can't [Bm]help it
And it's been hard for me
[G]To see [Am]what you been goin' through,
[Bm]it's tirin'
'Cause you've been sufferin',
[G]you've been suf[Am]ferin'
No more sufferin' [Bm]in
silence

[Verse 3]
And they don't even ask for shit When [Am]I was
broke,
grandma MoneyGram- ed me cash and shit
And she was[Bm]n't even the
one that was havin' it
Family [Am]be matterin' most,
but as a catalyst
I got an[Bm]other cousin buggin'
who addicted to Xans
[Am]Said it was her substitute
for never gettin' a man
Said [Bm]we all need love,
only if it's in the plan
Forced [Am]love the worst love,
throw that shit in the can
I got an [Bm]auntie who a prostitute,
it hurt my soul
[G]Promise you[Am] sellin' your bod[D]y
ain't [Bm]worth that gold
Reverse that role,
you don't gotta swerve that road
Searching [Am]for the answers,
I don't wanna search that low
'Cause I [Bm]done been through a lot,
my family goes through worse
Cryin' [Am]on this airplane how
I wrote this verse
They be [Bm]sufferin' in silence,
they don't tell me a thing
[Em]All they tell [Am]me is, "Nigga,
go excel in your [Bm]dreams"

[Verse 4]
Yeah, it be the ones that's
[Am]closest
That go through the motion[Bm]s
Maybe it's me that's been
[G]selfish[Am]
Don't know why I can't help it
[Bm]And it's been hard for me
[G]To see [Am]what you been goin' through,
it's tir[Bm]in'
'Cause you've been sufferin',
been suf[Am]ferin'
No more sufferin' in si[Bm]lence
It be the ones that's [Am]closest
That go through the motion[Bm]s
Maybe it's me that's
been [Am]selfish
Don't know why I can't help it
An[Bm]d it's been hard for me
To see [Am]what you been goin' through,
it's [Bm]tirin'
You've been sufferin',
been suf[Am]ferin'
No more sufferin' in si[Bm]lence
