[Intro: Lil Durk]
(Spoken)
Yeah, it's the family, you know?
Lil Durk and Young Malix
We here

[Chorus: Lil Durk]
They said I wouldn’t make it, but look at me now
Family ties, yeah, we running the town
From the struggle to the top, now we shine
My brother by my side, and we both gon’ climb
They tried to count us out, but we out here alive

[Verse 1: Lil Durk]
Came from the bottom, they ain’t give a shit
Had to grind every day, that’s the way I live
I lost my twin, didn’t know where he went
Now we back together, wе gon’ make these hatеrs bent
Family ties, it’s blood, you can’t fake it
Had to make it out, couldn’t let them break it
Had to put the work in, they ain’t wanna see me shine
Told myself I’d make it, fuck waiting in line
They said I wouldn’t last, now I’m breaking through
Got my brother by my side, now we making moves
N***as talk behind my back, I don't give a fuck
I’m running with the wolves, don’t care if I’m stuck
We was raised in the struggle, never had it easy
Now I’m here with my twin, you best believe me
We had to hustle for everything, nothing was handed
I remember nights we had to sleep stranded
But now we balling, flipping checks, stacking chips
The hate keep coming, but we don’t trip
Put the city on our backs, now they can’t deny
From the trenches to the stars, now we flying high
Never backed down, even when it got tough
Stayed solid through the storm, never called it bluff
My twin back, now it’s a family affair
We gon’ take over the game, show ‘em we ain’t scared
They said it couldn’t happen, well, now we here
Lil Durk and Young Malix, yeah, we make it clear
Ain’t no stopping us now, we gon’ set the tone
Got the whole city rocking, we’re never alone
We came from nothing, now we running the game
Family ties strong, remember the name
[Chorus: Lil Durk]
They said I wouldn’t make it, but look at me now
Family ties, yeah, we running the town
From the struggle to the top, now we shine
My brother by my side, and we both gon’ climb
They tried to count us out, but we out here alive

[Verse 2: Young Malix]
I came from the bottom, they thought I was gone
But now I’m back with a vengeance, and I'm moving strong
They didn’t know me then, now they see me on top
I was out here hustling, never gonna stop
Fuck all the doubt, I was lost but I’m found
Came from the struggle, had to fight for the crown
N***as switched on me, but I ain't losing my grip
I’m riding with my brother, we’re here to make it flip
They can hate all they want, but we’re still gon’ rise
From the block to the top, you can see the fire in our eyes
We ain’t had shit, now we running the game
They said we couldn’t do it, now they all know the name
Fuck a friend, I trust my fam, that's who I rely
Came from the dirt, now I’m reaching for the sky
Had to take risks, they ain’t know the cost
Lost so much but now I’m coming out on top
They said I couldn’t do it, so I went and showed ‘em
Put in all the work, now I’m rolling with the poets
I done seen the pain, I done felt the loss
But now I’m shining, man, fuck the cost
We ran through the storm, now we running the show
And I’m never gonna stop, watch the empire grow
Had to get it from the mud, now I’m living the dream
They didn’t think I’d make it, now I’m living supreme
Family ties, we built this from the ground
Had to rise above the hate, I’m holding it down
Now I’m back in the game, and I’m taking what’s mine
It’s a family affair, now we out here to shine
[Chorus: Lil Durk]
They said I wouldn’t make it, but look at me now
Family ties, yeah, we running the town
From the struggle to the top, now we shine
My brother by my side, and we both gon’ climb
They tried to count us out, but we out here alive

Outro: (Spoken - Lil Durk & Young Malix)
(Lil Durk)
This is just the beginning, we came from the dirt
And now we here, rising above

(Young Malix)
Family ties, we ain't never letting go
Let's keep this legacy alive
