Don’t call me cousin part 2

🎤 “Don’t Call Me Cousin Pt. 2”

(Ann Marie inspired — emotional, personal, savage)

Yeah…

(mm…)

Crazy how family switch up too…

thought blood meant somethin’…

guess not…

⸻

Don’t call me cousin, y’all changed on me (changed)

Aunties gossip, throwin’ shade on me (shade)

Uncles hear the lies, stay quiet too (too quiet)

Now y’all wonder why I don’t come through (nah)

Fake hugs, fake smiles at the family scene (fake)

Love don’t feel the same as it used to be (used to)

Blood ain’t blood when the love ain’t real (ain’t real)

Had to keep my distance so my heart could heal

⸻

Auntie used to tell me I was special (special)

Now she judge everything I do (everything)

Cousins switched sides tryna fit the crowd (fit in)

Actin’ like the rumors all true

Uncle see the pain all in my face (he do)

But never really say too much (nah)

Crazy how the people I loved the most

Turned cold when life got rough

Cookouts awkward when I walk inside (inside)

Everybody stare but act polite (fake)

Smilin’ in my face, then talk later (later)

That fake love made my heart ice

⸻

Look—

Y’all picked favorites, I could tell early (early)

Now the whole family actin’ weird toward me (weird)

Only hit my phone when drama pop off (facts)

But disappear quick when I feel lost

Aunties in corners always gossipin’ (gossipin’)

Turn my pain into entertainment (wow)

And the cousins I would’ve fought behind

Switched sides quick for validation

I learned real love don’t move like this (nah)

Real family don’t do you like this (at all)

Now I protect my peace and stay low (stay low)

‘Cause fake love hurt worse from your own

⸻

I cried enough, now my heart numb (heart numb)

Still can’t believe what we become (we become)

I gave love even when I was hurt (hurt)

Guess that still wasn’t enough

⸻

Don’t call me cousin, don’t call my phone (don’t)

Aunties switched up, now leave me alone (leave me)

Uncles stayed silent through all the pain (all the pain)

Now y’all wonder why I changed

Fake hugs, fake smiles, I see through it all (I do)

Family ain’t family when loyalty fall (facts)

Blood don’t matter when respect gone too (gone)

I learned strangers got more love than you

⸻

Yeah…

I still got love for y’all…

just from far away now…

(spoken)

Family pain hit different…

that’s the part nobody talks about…
