THE FAMILY - BROCKHAMPTON

Motherfuckers be sayin'

"Say this, but don't— don't say it like that though

Say it this way

'Cause you gotta think about all of us, represent all of—"

Motherfuckers be—

Motherfuckers meanin' niggas I came up with

Motherfuckers meanin' myse—

I know I should've called you sober

'Cause I'm right back on my own

Devil on my shoulder laughin'

Sayin', "Kevin, don't forget you're alone"

Y'all know what it's like, y'all got families

But it's so different from my family from Texas

I know what it's like, but it's so different

Merlyn saw the "SUGAR" video, asked if I sold my soul to the devil

In some ways I guess I did because my mama still livin' in the ghetto

But any extra signs, yo, yo, that was not on purpose

But I get it, 'cause it gets dark whenever Hollywood opens the curtain

I was way less vanilla when I was still a Texas nigga

I was way more Christian when I was still a Mormon nigga

I was a hungrier artist when Postmates ain't deliver to our house in Laurel Canyon

In a mansion with some niggas I can't stand, man

But I gotta hold it down for my new fam, man

I gotta hold it down and hold my stance, man

God, bring me a different band, man

As the checks grew, it became harder to leave

Everybody got an ego now, imagine bein' me

Competition started off so healthy

'Til one day I looked up like, "Damn, you almost better than me"

I don't feel guilty for wakin' you up when you sleep

I don't feel guilty from cuttin' your verse from this beat

I don't feel guilty for heat you caught from my tweets

Dead projects I teased from my lack of empathy

I feel free when I drink, you don't know shit about me

Y'all don't know shit about me, y'all don't know shit about me

Quit talkin' sh—

I know I should've called you sober (You sober)

'Cause I'm right back on my own

Devil on my shoulder laughin'

Sayin', "Kevin, don't forget you're alone" (You're alone)

Okay, I said my piece, the whole room goes silent

Who do I turn to when my thoughts get violent?

When my voice goes hoarse, and we all stop cryin'

We said we'd do this shit for life, now I'm the last one tryin'

I know what it's like, but it's so different

You tried to keep it alive

Oh, oh-oh, oh

But I'll be fine

So why won't you listen, baby (You tried, woo)

You tried to keep it alive (Yeah)

But I'll be fine

Oh, yes, you did

Woo
