Much respect goes out to family
Much respect goes out
Much respect goes out to family
Much respect goes out
(verse)
Have you ever seen a family
That wasn't tight
It could be a new set on the block
Learning to live or die
There are always gonna be some fights
When life gets a little crazy
‘Cause, to be a family you must fight
Fight for what you believe
(Chorus)
It's a family thing
You can't go wrong
when the family is strong
It's a family thing
Don't stray from the fact
It's a family thing
(Verse)
Everyone comes from
a woman and man
But more than that family is
Lending a hand, yeah
To help you when you're down
When life starts to run you over
Even when they don't come around
'Round, they'll always be down
(Chorus)
It's a family thing
You can't go wrong
When the family is strong
It's a family thing
Don't stray from the fact
Keep it like that
It's a family thing
You can't go wrong
When the family is strong
It's a family thing
Don't stray from the fact
It's a family thing
(rap)
Strong once again
Through thick and thin
Family rough and tough
Got BA's, MA's, PhD on the tiz-op
While teenage mothers
Crack feen fathers ready to driz-op
Little children dying from aids
Enough to make you wanna set the world a blaze
But who's got the strength to do a new thing?
(Family)
Who holds the key to the door with a new swing?
Peace and love, it's a family thing
(Chorus and Out)
Woo, oh oh oh oh
Woo, oh oh oh oh
It's a family thing
Much respect goes out to family
Much respect goes out
