[Verse 1]
This is for my family, from the bay to miami
To the carolina's, you know pep love's finest
Friends and foes. my cousins would drink and smoke
In the back, I was too young to even know
The drama that my grandmama was going through
Dealing with my arty sons, god please come
I used to hear her say, after giving it last
And calm dissapear in a flash, then reappear in a day
My granddaddy would stay in his room and read
Puffing that apple flavoured tobacco ,true indeed
I used to try to sleep in his bed, and read what he read
Seeking and hoping to open the secrets he 'd keep in his head
My brother would kick it with Marco and watch dirt
He used to be a footballstar, before he got hurt
And then he 's in his wheelchair ,drinking and laughing
Going out of his mind, I used to wonder what happened
It was an accident, my mommy told me, then she said
Don't go back in there, she boldly would scold me in front of him
And whatever you got don't get fond of him, he was getting drunk
And only cuz his soul was sucking in, but I ain't grudging him
This whole family is disfunction and this is the reconstruction
Of my connection with my relatives that live, and those that passed away
This is a dedication to you
[Chorus: Goapele]
All of the things that we've been true
I wouldn't change the
Half, I choose; never forsaken
Even though you make me blue
Always know that I got love for you
This is for my family, from the bay to miami
To the carolina's, you know pep love's finest
Friends and foes. my cousins would drink and smoke
In the back, I was too young to even know
The drama that my grandmama was going through
Dealing with my arty sons, god please come
I used to hear her say, after giving it last
And calm dissapear in a flash, then reappear in a day
My granddaddy would stay in his room and read
Puffing that apple flavoured tobacco ,true indeed
I used to try to sleep in his bed, and read what he read
Seeking and hoping to open the secrets he 'd keep in his head
My brother would kick it with Marco and watch dirt
He used to be a footballstar, before he got hurt
And then he 's in his wheelchair ,drinking and laughing
Going out of his mind, I used to wonder what happened

This whole family is disfunction and this is the reconstruction
Of my connection with my relatives that live, and those that passed away

Half, I choose; never forsaken
Even though you make me blue
Always know that I got love for you
