""FAMILY""
  by Searchin lyfe


The sound of R&B
and jazz
A beautiful thing

Uncle Bro knows
the lyrics
but can't even
sing

Don't matter to him
he tries and tries
Sound of his voice
makes me wanna
die
Brings tears to
my eyes

We're all
a bit tipsy
some more than
others

But it's a
family affair
all the sisters
and brothers

Soulfood pilled high
ribs on the grille
Grown folks drinking
corn liquor
Made from a backyard
still
You know things
are chill

Family affair
don't get mo' better
than this

I laughed so hard
on myself
almost pissed

Takes me back to black folks get together on family reunions, and we just have good ole' time, and everything you just described is exactly what would be happening at a reunion. You brought back some memories for me. Excellent write.
