Lyrics

[Verse] Tough times that my mind designs, got me thinking So resigned, wonderin' how was i still breathing Who was there to keep my bed warm in this cold world Putting me to sleep, tomorrow might be better, word? Who was there to teach me a lesson Showing me that loss is pain and pain is a blessing Lower my expectations until everything's undressing I'm just tryna settle a constant battle I didn't have no drive, until i put the pedal to the metal Didn't have no tenderness, but i bloomed with gracious petals I had such a gloomed perspective, never light on pessimism All this egotism turned into humongous narcissism But in this world full of cynicism People only come to you for criticism Everyone is on their suits and ties while i'll be filling their shoes Sometimes i wish i had Steve Harvey when the family feuds Cuz family dinners barely brought us together Conflict after conflict, hoped it would turn better But it got worse.sudden echoes in my mind started to rehearse Leave boy, leave boy runaway from this place No one got my back on the road, so i left no trace I was the elephant in the room, cuz i needed some space I was tryna run from my parents like they never mattered But i was fool, in the end family matters [Pre hook] Family makes you feel so important Gives you hope and makes you potent Even through all these matters just forgive Family matters man, they the reason you live [Hook] Family matters yeah Family matters yeah Family matters yeah [Verse 2] Nowadays, Daddy is depressed all the time Everyday, really stressed, hopin' he fine Can't get no sleep, his mood swings so steep His coworkers be wolves dressed in sheep Tryna eat him alive, but all he tryna do is survive Money really got em foaming at the mouth Even sunny days made him go south Really nothing to look up to Really nothing he can undo But i remember when I was like ten Early September He was so fired up and inspired Now he so downbeat bout to get fired He lost the fire in his soul That warmed a happy home Now he in the sappy zone Cuz house ain't really a home When you always feel so alone Drowned in thoughts and sorrows The angst and its fangs got his brow furrow I feel at fault, i should call him tomorrow Cuz nightmares are truly killing his spirit His realm turned into Dante's inferno like he feared it Almost ended up in the hospital cuz of his twisted mental Just for a shitty job, so i guess it's fundamental To fund the mental first cuz money wants your ego And boost your thirst But shit all he wanted was to help with the bread Contribute and have a roof over our head Even through all these matters Father you matter to us, and that's what matters cuz
