[Verse 1]
Group chat dry
bare blue ticks
We used to share clothes
now we share silence
Everybody got plans
got brands, got flights
Calendar full of calls
but not one is tonight
Mama keep asking
"when y’all coming through?"
I say "soon"
but I know that ain’t true
They post new cars
I post my doubts
They chasing the bag
I’m chasing the house
[Chorus]
Family first
while they fade to the background
I’m still here
still holding that pact down
They making moves
I’m praying they’re safe though
Doors getting closed
I’m waiting at the gate though
Family first
even when it hurts like this
I’m last place
but I still put us on my list
[Verse 2]
We was all on the floor
same game, same screen
Now it’s passwords, passcodes
separate teams
Thanksgiving turned small
two plates, few seats
Empty chairs say more
than the ones we keep
They talk "protect peace"
but it sound like goodbye
Boundaries feel cold
when you outside
I still save they names
on a locked home page
Scroll old pics
like I’m stuck backstage
[Chorus]
