Lyrics

It's a family affair
It's a family affair
It's a family affair
It's a family affair
One child rose up to be
Somebody that just loves to learn
And another child grows up to be
Somebody you just love to burn
Mom loves the both of them, you see it's in the blood
Both kids are good to mom, bloods thicker than the mud
It's a family affair, it's a family affair
It's a family affair It's a family affair, oh of it, what of it
Newlywed a year ago
But you're still checkin' each other out
Hey nobody wants to glow, nobody wants to be left out
Uh-huh, you can't leave 'cause you heart is there
But sure, you can't stay 'cause you been somewhere else
You can't cry 'cause you look broke down
But you're cryin' anyway 'cause you are broke down
It's a family affair
It's a family affair...
