Family Pain

There's no food on the table, all the furniture is sold
They've given away their pride, now they tryin' to sell their souls
Family pain, family pain, family pain, family pain
They're all goin' out together smokin' crack and dealin' cocaine

Little sister is lost, smoked out her mind
Mama can't advise her, she has to throw down herself sometimes
Family pain, family pain, family pain, family pain
They're all goin' out together smokin' crack and dealin' cocaine

Daddy's scratchin' his head 'cause he can't understand
How ten dollars and a tube of glass can tear down a damn good man
Family pain, family pain, family pain, family pain
They're all goin' out together smokin' crack and dealin' cocaine

Let me hear the thang

They live in a make-believe world, all their hopes in a shiny pack
All they want to do is stay high, what kind of life is that?
Family pain, family pain, family pain, family pain
All goin' out together smokin' crack and dealin' cocaine

Now that ain't no life
That ain't goin' nowhere
I mean, everybody's caught up except daddy
And won't be long before he'll be called out to God
He wants to keep on, but that's the way it always happens
The bad one always drag in the good ones before the good one manages to get the bad ones together
Family pain, family pain
Family pain, family pain
Family pain, family pain
Family pain, family pain
