Family

family can be sour and sweet
but interpret them as a treat
they are the most valuable diamond
and no matter what happens, they'll be somewhere in the horizon

your family loves you with all their heart
they loved you right at the start
when they saw your face, they knew you were perfect
the bucket of love was immediately to inject

you care about your family, no matter whom they become
they can morph into an evil crumb
but through those doors of evil, there is care
and through that air of pollution, there is pure air

so don't waste your time staring off to la la land
because your family's worth more than two grand
and there is no time to spare
because they won't be there forever, fingers brushing through your hair
