Family Affair (Single Version)
Sly & The Family Stone
3:06Lookin' at the devil Grinnin' at his gun Fingers start shakin' I begin to run Bullets start chasin' I begin to stop We begin to wrestle I was on the top I want to thank you for letting me be myself again Thank you for letting me be myself again Stiff all in the collar Fluffy in the face Chit-chat chatter tryin' Stuffy in the place Thank you for the party But I could never stay Many things on my mind Words in the way I want to thank you for letting me be myself again Thank you for letting me be myself again Dance to the music All night long Every day people Sing a simple song Mama's so happy Mama start to cry Papa's still singin' You can make it if you try I want to thank you for letting me be myself again (oh yeah) (Different strokes for different folks, yeah) Thank you for letting me be myself again Flamin' eyes of people fear burnin' into you Many men are missin' much, hatin' what they do Youth and truth are makin' love, dig it for a starter Dyin' young is hard to take, sellin' out is harder Thank you for letting me be myself again I want to thank you for letting me be myself again Thank you for letting me be myself again Thank you for letting me be myself again I want to thank you for letting me be myself again I want to thank you for letting me be myself again I want to thank you for letting me be myself again I want to thank you for letting me be myself again
