Family First

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Say your prayers 'fore you go to bed Boy, that's what mama told me (Told me) How to pop a line, drive a nail, read a tape Yeah, that's what daddy showed me Fightin' with my big bros it made me tough So forgive me if I seem a little rough around the edges I'm just dippin' my brush in these lessons I learned Paintin' pictures in these studio sessions Everything I am I owe it all to ya Even when I wasn't known at all you stuck through it Life is a classroom and I've been the student And nobody said you had to do it You're still doin' it (Yeah, yeah, yeah) [Chorus] I could be anywhеre in the world and you could call on me (Call on mе) I'll drop everything just tell me where I need to be For better or worse, gotta make it work Even when it hurts I'll put my family first, I'll put my family first Gonna climb in the dirt, move Heaven and earth Even when it hurts you put your family first [Verse 2] (Hey, hey) Say your prayers 'fore you go to bed Girls, that's what we tell the kids (Tell the kids) They do what you do not always what you say So be careful how you live When it's time to play ball pay attention If they pitch it down the middle, baby, swing for the fences 'Til I'm dead and gone I'm your number one fan I'm just tryna add a little bit of color to your pictures Everything I am I'd give it all to ya Even when we seem to know it all I stick to it Life is classroom and now you're the student And I'm so glad I get to walk you through it (Ha, ha) [Chorus] I could be anywhere in the world and you could call on me (Call on me) I'll drop everything just tell me where I need to be For better or worse, gotta make it work Even when it hurts I'll put my family first, I'll put my family first Gonna climb in the dirt, move Heaven and earth Even when it hurts you put your family first [Bridge] (Holy presence is all in the room) Gonna climb in the dirt, move Heaven and earth Even when it hurts Say your prayers 'fore you go to bed Boy, that's what mama told me (Mama, mama, mama) Gonna climb in the dirt, move Heaven and earth Even when it hurts [Chorus] I could be anywhere in the world and you could call on me (Call on me) I'll drop everything just tell me where I need to be For better or worse, gotta make it work Even when it hurts I'll put my family first, I'll put my family first Gonna climb in the dirt, move Heaven and earth Even when it hurts you put your family first [Outro] (Holy presence is all in the room) Gonna climb in the dirt, move Heaven and earth Mom, thank you so much Even when it hurts (The Holy presence is all in the room) Gonna climb in the dirt, move Heaven and earth Even when it hurts
