Family Pain - Swamp Dogg

There’s no food on the table, all the furniture is sold

They’ve given away their pride, now they tryin' to sell their souls

Family pain, family pain, family pain, family pain

They’re all goin' out together smokin' crack and dealin' cocaine

Little sister is lost, smoked out her mind

Mama can’t advise her, she has to throw down herself sometimes

Family pain, family pain, family pain, family pain

They’re all goin' out together smokin' crack and dealin' cocaine

Daddy’s scratchin' his head 'cause he can’t understand

How ten dollars and a tube of glass can tear down a damn good man

Family pain, family pain, family pain, family pain

They’re all goin' out together smokin' crack and dealin' cocaine

Let me hear the thang

They live in a make-believe world, all their hopes in a shiny pack

All they want to do is stay high, what kind of life is that?

Family pain, family pain, family pain, family pain

All goin' out together smokin' crack and dealin' cocaine

Now that ain’t no life

That ain’t goin' nowhere

I mean, everybody’s caught up except daddy

And won’t be long before he’ll be called out to God

He wants to keep on, but that’s the way it always happens

The bad one always drag in the good ones before the good one manages to get the

bad ones together

Family pain, family pain

Family pain, family pain

Family pain, family pain

Family pain, family pain
