Kanye West
Never Abandon Your Family (Demo)
Lyrics from Listening Party
[Intro: Donda West]
Two lessons that he passed along to his children
The first is that, no matter what, you never abandon your family
The second was that, no matter what, you love unconditionally
It is that kind of love that made my father the kind of father and the kind of man he is
He vowed that he would never walk away from his family, and he never has
So what is enough?
To my way of thinking it's only enough for each one of us to become champions in our own right
[Verse: Kanye West & Donda West]
I know you wanted me to bring
I know I wish I could be
I could never fall in love
Hell nah, nah, don't fall in love
Don't lеt them abandon me
And not the dеmandin' me
How could I say to never leave?
That my, my, my family
My, my, my family, my family, I'm losing my family
I'm losing my family, losing my family
Bow down to another ring
I thought I'd never see
Oh, the Lord led to me
Writing on the wall
That thought was only
She's screaming at me
"Daddy, why did you leave?"
"Daddy, how could you leave?"
"Come back to mother and me"
"Come back tonight, daddy, please"
"Daddy, how could you leave?"
(Two lessons that he passed along to his children)
"Daddy, how could you leave?"
(The first is that, no matter what, you never abandon your family)
We all know I won't leave
(The second, is that no matter what, you never abandon your family)
My family, that's all me
(Is that, no matter what, you never abandon your family)
I wish I never screamed
(Is that, no matter what, you never abandon your family)
Alcohol is so mean
(Is that, no matter what, you never abandon your family)
These things, these things, these things
(Is that, no matter what, you never abandon your family, is that, no matter what, you never abandon your family)
These things, these things
(Is that, no matter what, you never abandon your family)
Things that I never mean (It is that kind of love)
Come love me
(That made my father the kind of father and the kind of man he is)
And love me
(He vowed that he would never walk away from his family, and he never has)
