family ties - Baby Keem & Kendrick Lamar

[Foreign Content] Ever since they were born She was worried about their friends Even when they turned twenty five She was worried about the company they'd keep One day it was three in the morning The door bell rang, she got up in a sweat Blue lights flashing everywhere The boys in blue standing at the door The look on their faces scared her enough Before they told her what she was always afraid of Do you know where your son is tonight? Do you know where your daughter is tonight? I'm afraid they won't be coming home tonight Do you know where your son is tonight? Do you know where your daughter is tonight? I'm afraid they won't be coming home tonight [Foreign Content] Ever since she was brought to this home She's been cursing every woman with a child She says they brought to this world the curse That have stained the good name of mankind One day it was three in the morning The guard came running to tell us she's gone Blue lights flashing everywhere, all over again The boys in blue, looking for her The look on their faces scared us enough When they told us to strengthen our family ties Do you know where your mother is tonight? Do you know where your father is tonight? I'm afraid they won't be coming home tonight Do you know where your son is tonight? Do you know where your daughter is tonight? I'm afraid they won't be coming home tonight [Foreign Content] Do you know where your son is tonight? Do you know where your daughter is tonight?

I'll seize this moment and make it mine Remember when we were younger and had nothing but time And now I know there's so much in my way But it won't keep me held down 'cause I've got something to say We're all just kids growing up too fast Focused on the future but not forgetting the past So I live my life like it's a story to tell Don't try to stand in my way 'Cause I can make a bet that you'll fail But I'll push on and on Till every doubt is gone Nothing's gonna stand in my way I control my own fate If you are not scared Then you're not taking a chance The road ahead is paved by those who took the risk We're all just kids growing up too fast Focused on the future but not forgetting the past This will always be my family This will always be my family So I live my life like it's a story to tell Don't try to stand in my way 'Cause I can make a bet that you'll fail But I'll push on and on Till every doubt is gone Nothing's gonna stand in my way I control my own fate This will always be my family You've been here for me since the beginning This will always be my family I'll be there for you till the end So I live my life like it's a story to tell Don't try to stand in my way 'Cause I can make a bet that you'll fail But I'll push on and on Till every doubt is gone Nothing's gonna stand in my way I control my own fate Don't forget where you've come from
