Song Of The Moment

Family Business (feat. Metaphoric)

Me and my uncle have always been able to articulate ourselves better through words on paper. This is a poetic rendition of our eternal conversation. Nephew has a problem? Uncle has the wisdom.

Unc, I need to holla at you.
I got some things to share.
Some feelings to get out.
Some heartache that I bear.

Lately, I’ve been feeling trapped.
I’ve been feeling like I had to hide.
Cause truth be told, the Jay you all see
Is nearly opposite from the one on the inside

A lot of it comes from pops.
Some from my loving grandmother.
Can’t forget our church home, how could we?
I even feel it from my little brother.

The truth of the situation is
That I just don't want to try anymore.
Family will always be family and I love y'all
But I might have to walk out the door

I know that the way I feel
Isn’t always easy to understand.
But if there’s one in this family who gets it,
It’s you, man.

So I need to know, Unc.
Cause you’re the wisest one I got.
How do I break out this cage?
How do I make it stop?

-Jay



I truly feel your pain &
what you are going through,
but my advice would be to think it over,
before you decide what you wanna do

In order to get what you want,
One might have to do,
What you don't want to do,
But in the end, it's what's best for you,

Wish I grabbed your hand more & took you with me more often,
But I was struggling with trying to find real men that could show me how to be a man,
With that being said, hopefully something you saw in me,
Can help with the struggles that will come on your journey to feel free....

-Unc
