I knelt down to pray today and escape
I know you heard me cause I could feel you
I'm sick of wondering if this is a mistake
Give me direction, give me the truth
I feel like I've been here before
Because I carried this weight forever well
There's only two fates in this hell
Watching everyone you love suffer, or you can suffer yourself
Cause it's a family affair
We pass it down through the blood, through the air
Keeping me on my toes with that evil stare
Cause it's a family affair
I live my life to erase the sorrow
Because I might not be here tomorrow
I gotta walk with my head upright
Because this family is why I fight
No choice but to carry on
Forged in blood for so long
Forever bound to right the wrongs
I pass the torch down for when I'm gone
Cause it's a family affair
We pass it down through the blood, through the air
Keeping me on my toes with that evil stare
Never giving in to despair
The blood, the bond, that's what I've got to pass down
Strength
To maintain your dignity
Pride
To protect your family
Honor
To maintain your virtues
Wrong from right, which road will you choose?
It's your choice, win or lose
These are the values we carry on
What will you pass down learned from your enemies?
Where will you turn with bad times coming your way?
How will you be strong to the ones you love the most?
And when you're gone, who will be left to say
the things that you came to say?
