Family

Lyrics

[Hook] Who are we We are family Yes we are Who are we We are family Yes we are Who are we Who are we Who are we Who are we Who are we We are family Yes we are Who are we We're family Yes we are Who are we Who are we Who are we Wе're family We are family Wе're family We are family We're family We are family We're family Hey Something about us Whether Bama, Brooklyn or from townships We be the proudest And even if silent Speaking loudest We from the brown dust The melanin made enemies down us Frowned and clowned us But we grew in all ways they allowed us And If we now just Really let our dreams be the wildest Have self esteem that will gleam Through the streams of the cowards We can flower like cacti in the desert Intentional with our efforts Invincible, no half - steppers Cultural wrestlers Our past checkered and fettered We are so exceptional At last repping and peppered with Dopeness the divine exception Since the inception Since the creation of life itself We are the essence [Hook] Yo We are the family That took a detour as nanny's and mammies But now we're taking our rightful place No more hand me downs No more feeding someone else's child We got mouths to feed We now feeding the mouths Whether in the Caribbean Or the south Or the continent We're no longer content with being left out Confident Reparations for devastation to our nations It's the expectation Of any dignified race And We wanna take our place in Within the race of humanity No longer complacent We may ask for some things But we ain't afraid of taking We know how the enemy works Please don't be mistaken We've been more than patient [Hook]
