Family Is Forever

Friends are fake
Just like the makeup running down that girls face
Family will stand tall and proud
While friends slouch down in the crowd
With your friends you'll have ups and downs
But with your family you'll stay on the ground
Even though they are there for you
They will always go behind your back
And when they do it will all go down like that

Sometimes there are ones that will stay true to you
And I am here to prove that to you
They will love you
Care for you
And always be there
Even the ones that need to learn how to share
