FAMILY ISN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE

Wherever you find yourself is your home, whoever shows you real love and support your hustle is your brother and sister

Family is no longer by blood alone, this days a stranger shows you real love than your blood related brother

Family isn't what it used to be, when you can just go to your grandma house and eat, hang out with family friends and just have a good time

But now is all about segregation, is all about how much you have in your bank account, the kind of cars you drive, and how much you lavish on your family members

Now everyone choose who to roll and mingle with, Even parents now give their children preferential treatment, favoritism has become the rule of the family

Uncles and Aunts Now choose who's kids to be proud of, Brothers and Sisters Now treat stranger more like family, Cousins talk about each other as if they ain't flawed, as if they are no longer family

Because I don't have millions, am the last to know about the family meeting even though being the eldest, my kids are treated with disdain because their Dad didn't come home with Rang Rover Sport

How come Jonathan is absent from the family meeting, oh he went abroad for a business trip says my Grandma, favoritism because he is a successful business Man

Family isn't what it used to be, if you hustle and you make it, the family will know you, if you're destitute even your shadow in the family will disown you

Family isn't what it used to be, favoritism everywhere, preferential treatment and disdain in every angle, Grandparents now spend time with certain grandkids, and the only time you see everyone together is at a funeral.
