BROCKHAMPTON – The Family Lyrics

The Family Lyrics By BROCKHAMPTON

The Family is another Kevin Abstract solo, at the start you can hear Kevin sipping alcohol from a glass, he then uses next 2 minutes of the track drunkenly & angerly point fingers at specific moments that might’ve led to the groups untimely demise.

Kevin feels like the band isn’t very appreciative of the platform he’s built for them and he’s upset they’ve left him on social media to deal with their extremely active fanbase alone, but he’s also blind to the fact that his own actions are part of the problem separating the band, whether it be the constant tweet’s about the groups scrapped 2018 Album “PUPPY” that caused a rift between the band, he even wishes he had a different band, the weird imagery in their NSFW SUGAR music video, or moments where their egos clash.

Kevin is so angry with the band that he even asks for new bandmates, since he’s the only one trying to keep his vision alive.

You need to remember he’s just drunk & doesn’t mean it. Right?

[Intro: Kevin Abstract]
Motherfuckers be sayin’
“Say this but don’t, don’t say it like that though
Say it this way
‘Cause you gotta think about all of us, represent all of…”
Motherfuckers be
Motherfuckers be the niggas I came up with
Motherfuckers meanin’ myse-

[Chorus]
I know I should’ve called you sober
‘Cause I’m right back on my own
Devil on my shoulder laughin’
Sayin’, “Kevin, don’t forget you’re alone”
[Spoken Interlude: Kevin Abstract]
Y’all know it’s like, y’all got families
But it’s so different from my family from Texas
I know it’s like this, so different

[Verse: Kevin Abstract]
Merlyn saw the Sugar video, asked if I sold my soul to thе devil
In some ways I guess I did bеcause my momma still livin’ in the ghetto
But any extra signs, yo, yo, that was not on purpose
But I get it ’cause it gets dark whenever Hollywood opens the curtain
I was way less vanilla when I was still a Texas nigga
I was way more Christian when I was still a mormon nigga
I was a hungrier artist when Postmates ain’t deliver to our house in Laurel Canyon
In a mansion, with some niggas I can’t stand, man
But I gotta hold it down for my new fam, man
I gotta hold it down and hold my stance, man
God, bring me a different band, man
As the checks grew, it became harder to leave
Everybody got an ego now, imagine bein’ me
Competition started off so healthy
‘Til one day I looked up like, “Damn, you almost better than me”
I don’t feel guilty for wakin’ you up when you sleep
I don’t feel guilty for cuttin’ your verse from this beat
I don’t feel guilty for heat you caught from my tweets
Dead projects I teased from my lack of empathy
I feel free when I drink, you don’t know shit about me
Y’all don’t shit about me, y’all don’t know shit about me
Quit talkin’ sh-

[Chorus]
I know I should’ve called you sober (You sober)
‘Cause I’m right back on my own
Devil on my shoulder laughin’
Sayin’, “Kevin, don’t forget you’re alone” (You’re alone)

[Verse 2: Kevin Abstract]
Okay, I said my piece
The whole room goes silent
Who do I turn to when my thoughts get violent?
When my voice goes hoarse, and we all stop cryin’
We said we’d do this shit for life, now I’m the last one tryin’
I know what it’s like but it’s so different

[Outro: bearface]
You tried to keep it alive
Oh, oh-oh, oh
I’ll be fine
So let it go listen, baby
Woo
You tried to keep it alive
I’ll be fine
Oh, yes, you did
Woo
