Family Fools

Lyrics

[Intro] Boy, I tell you man, some people, man Damn, boy you should all be ashamed of yourselves, man Well, I don't even know what to say I don't even know what to say I don't even know what to say, hey [Verse 1] Well Gramma done passed away, everybody grieving Family gathered 'round the house but ain't nobody leaving People lingering around, hovering like vultures Tryna see what they can get and what Granny left over See this the time to show respect, but it's clear them children not Already up in the room, going through her jewelry box Going through the closet, gettin' clothes, they done shook the spot One of them done took the ring, the other one done took the watch Unplugging the television that you 'bout to go and sell Been there since she bought the house, man that TV old as hell Sad to say her kids was trifling, it was hard, man she tried Two of 'em was in their 40s, still livin' there when she died Now they arguing 'bout the house and the life insurance cash In three months all of 'em broke, won't nobody cut the grass Gramma woulda been ashamed to see this with their greedy asses Still lost the house 'cause they was too stupid to pay the taxes [Chorus] Ain't nothing but some family fools Nothing but some family fools Breaking all the family rules If you guilty then you standing accused Ain't nothing but some family fools Nothing but some family fools Breaking all the family rules If you guilty then you standing accused [Verse 2] Everybody was crying when Daddy laid it down Now they all fighting and Daddy is barely in the ground What he did for his family to make it was indisputable But now these stupid fools is getting into it at the funeral All that drama and stress, no wonder he dead Plus everybody knew about that bread up under his bed Brothers and sisters bickering, turning to enemies quick Fussing 'bout who helped him the most when he was struggling and sick Roaching for everything, some people just have no chill Now all hell is breaking loose 'cause Daddy had no will And Mama been gone but he had a girlfriend in his life And now she beefing with the kids 'cause she the common law wife And it been years since one of the children and pops even spoke And now he coming back trying to get some bread 'cause he broke And the daughter shady as hell, plus the youngest one smoke Y'all never cared about that man, boy - this family's a joke [Chorus] Ain't nothing but some family fools Nothing but some family fools Breaking all the family rules If you guilty then you standing accused Ain't nothing but some family fools Nothing but some family fools Breaking all the family rules If you guilty then you standing accused [Verse 3] Mama still alive but she doesn't have much longer This the time where the family's supposed to get stronger Come together in a crisis and handle the obstacle And make sure that her last days are happy as possible But instead everybody's greed got to be fed Y'all standing over Mama, fussing 'bout her hospital bed You after everything she own before her casket is closed Tryna make her sign some papers with some tubes in her nose She being handled in a manner that she didn't deserve But it's alright because she knew it so she threw 'em a curve She already had a will made, already on file The bad seeds getting jealous of the one good child And that's the one who she left all possessions and cash 'Cause if the others woulda got it, they'd of tricked it off fast Don't wanna build like your mother did, work and achieve So when your time finally come, you won't have nothing to leave You know why? [Chorus] Ain't nothing but some family fools Nothing but some family fools Breaking all the family rules If you guilty then you standing accused Ain't nothing but some family fools Nothing but some family fools Breaking all the family rules If you guilty then you standing accused
