family - bandy andy lyrics
[verse 1: bandy andy]
i’ll die for this sh-t
i’ll raise up a fist
when it come to me and my family
you do not f-ck with us or i’ll leave you panting
all of the seeds that we had been planting
are ready to bloom and i just been asking
for help from my granny, ‘cause she had been grappling
with all of our roots, all of our branches
dirt of our earth, the ground of the motherland
my people soiled our soil by digging with others’ hands
lucky to stand here today, envision the bigger plan
an american dream
a lie that’s been sold to too many immigrants
we work and we die, reductive but that’s just the life of the businessman
(ugh)
my family grinding so long it feel like a fable
mama taught me times tables in the time between bussin tables, selling bagels
i know if i spill my blood, my blood got my back and i’m thankful
[chorus: melanie taing]
no peace treaty to settle this score
don’t wanna fight this losing war anymore
the water’s clean though it ain’t so pure
don’t wanna fight this losing war anymore
[verse 2: bandy andy]
let’s talk about family
the ones you can’t stand
but might help you get up if you are not standing
and your name is the one that they chanting
the feuds and the fighting all gone, once we go in the he-rs-
put that sh-t to the side, just let it disperse
aunties and uncles still bickering over old business they cannot move past
they kids and the cousins just suffering from all the disagreements that still last
mother and son just can’t reach consensus on how to take care of a child
blood gon’ be blood, love it or hate it, sometimes it’s all that we have
stories and stories of past generations all coursing hot right in your veins
is it worth cutting your siblings off due to issues that ya’ll cannot face?
see ‘em at every christmas you turning away like they was some mace
put the shields down like adults to use all your words to paint and erase
[chorus: melanie taing]
no peace treaty to settle this score
don’t wanna fight this losing war anymore
the water’s clean though it ain’t so pure
don’t wanna fight this losing war anymore
[verse 3: jerimiah harris]
let’s talk about family
you know who that fam b/be?
they be the ones who believe in anything you can be
with bandy andy, and melanie taing
comin’ back to the game lord knows we overcame
it’s our reclaim to fame after disdain and shame
our families’ bloodstain
on a freight train
just to constrain
our domain
and retain
some semblance of cultures in this crazy place
was gettin hard but there’s headway
you feel it now well d-mn straight
cause our family ties gave us pathways
to a better place in all kinds of ways
so we gotta give back to the family
talkin bout the ones who cheerin’ in the back see
gotta give em love cause you know its everlasting
like a plastic rose y’all know the -n-logy
yeah, that’s family right there
[chorus: melanie taing]
no peace treaty to settle this score
don’t wanna fight this losing war anymore
the water’s clean though it ain’t so pure
don’t wanna fight this losing war anymore
