[Bm]
[Am]Uh,

[Verse 1]
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
with the for[Bm]eign drip
I got another cousin,
she the same age as me
[Am]Our lifestyles compl[Bm]etely
differ[Am]ent and ba[Bm]sically
Her baby dad beat her ass,
what I hate to see
Her black 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 an [Bm]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' focus
[Am]I don't know how else
to deal so it's [D]too late now
I got [Bm]a 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
It be the ones that's [Am]closest

[Verse 2]
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 suffer[Am]in'
No more sufferin' [Bm]in
silence

[Verse 3]
And they don't even ask for shit [Am]When 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 [Bm]an other cousin buggin'
who addicted to Xans
Said it [Am]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 auntie who a [Bm]prostitute,
it hurt my soul
[G]Promise you[Am] sellin' you[D]r body
ain't [Bm]worth that gold
Reverse that role,
you don't gotta swerve that [Am]road
Searching for the answers,
I don't wanna search that low
'Cause I done [Bm]been through a lot,
my family goes through worse
[G]Cryin' on [Am]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 dreams"

[Verse 4]
[Bm]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 [Am]see what you been goin' through,
it's [Bm]tir in'
You've been sufferin',
been suf[Am]ferin'
No more sufferin' in si
[Bm]lence
