[Verse 1]
I’m finding ways to speak about my feelings towards my whole family.
But, I can’t be disrespectful because I love them.
It’s hard for me to communicate the thoughts that I hold ,but I will let my whole family know.
I will tell the truth.
Mama, let me tell the truth.
[Pre-Chorus]
My mama and my brothers know what I am about to say, I told them before.
I hate that the whole family treat my family and I like the black sheep.
I hate that my family fights especially after drinking.
I’m afraid that the rest of my family hate my family and I.
I hate that most of my family members are toxic or distant.
I don’t want these broken relationships, the whole family needs an upgrade.
I try to find a reason to reunite the whole family, but it’s not working.
It’s feels so worthless.
My family and I decided to walk away.
[Chorus]
Why can’t we move on from the past?
Why can’t we reunite in peace?
I feel like it just me, my mama, my brothers, and my baby cousin.
And, I think that y’all don’t want to change.
[Verse 2]
I’m finding ways to talk about my feelings towards my father.
He abandoned my brothers and I.
He started a new family and pretends that we don’t exist.
None of my family members helped my mama.
My mama was struggling, raising three kids by herself.
My family members always ask for money but barely want to help.
I don’t want to burn bridges but, it’s very tempting.
I don’t have a bond with most of my family members.
Cause they are nothing but drama and disturbers of peace.
[Pre-Chorus]
My mama and my brothers know what I think about the whole family, I told them before.
I hate that the whole family treat my family and I like the black sheep.
I hate that my family fights especially after drinking.
I’m afraid that the rest of my family hate my family and I.
I hate that most of my family members are toxic or distant.
I don’t want these broken relationships, the whole family needs an upgrade.
I try to find a reason to reunite the whole family, but it’s not working.
It’s feels so worthless.
My family and I decided to walk away.
[Chorus]
Why can’t we move on from the past?
Why can’t we reunite in peace?
I feel like it just me, my mama, my brothers, and my baby cousin.
And, I think that y’all don’t want to change.
[Bridge]
I’m sorry that my family and I want to change.
Is that’s why y’all don’t hangout with us?
I’m sorry that my family and I want to break generational curses.
We refuse to excuse all ya’ll bad behaviors.
Why can’t ya’ll grow up?
Why can’t ya’ll grow up?
Why can’t ya’ll grow up?
Why can’t ya’ll grow up?
Cause myyyyyyyyyy family and I shouldn’t be referees in family drama.
Cause myyyyyyyyyy family and I are done with the all the toxicity.
[Chorus]
Why can’t we move on from the past?
Why can’t we reunite in peace?
I feel like it just me, my mama, my brothers, and my baby cousin.
And, I think that y’all don’t want to change.
[Outro]
(Why can’t we move on from the past?)
