Yeah, uh
Alright, it's nothin' before the family
Nothin' before the love that was brought from my Aunt Tammy
Nothin' before the love which I found from this pen and pad
Nothin' like when someone loves you back, Teddy Pendergrass
Nothin' like the love of when you're holdin' your first child
Nothin' like the love of when you witness their first smile
Nothin' like collard greens
Nothin' like cabbage that's special, made from your auntie
Nothin' like you hangin' with your uncles and aunties
Nothin' like your favorite cousin who just got out of jail
Remember when the family came together to make bail?
These moments are priceless, they can not be bought, uh
The will is instilled inside you, it can not be taught, uh
I needed a new reminder of things that are most important
Very few events I ever put above mic recordin'
I missed the graduations
I missed all the birthday parties and baby dedications
I missed Aunt Luca-May's funeral, Lord, forgive me
I was at the Met and afterparty with Robyn Fenty
I was out networkin'
Never gon' be perfect, I'll emerge to my best version
Trip to find myself, let's just call it an excursion
Learned the harder way that more riches are less worth it
Lost souls, sold for a bargain, I just purchased
Nothin' above love, nothin' above forgiveness
Nothin' above the family, this is already written
Nothin' comes before the memories that we cherish deeply
Nothin' comes before phone calls Grandma gave me weekly
Nothin' before the family, material is temporary
Nothin' before the family, yeah
