Family Matters

Part of the maelstrom
and there's no way to comprehend
originating in Sicily
easily done, to befriend.

Times happened but I didn't see
those things in those minutes
they didn't bother double-checking their game
too worried about pushing limits.

They always stuck their noses in family matters
where they didn't need to be concerned
I stayed off to myself, you know
didn't need to be burned, lessons learned.

The guys got your back
infiltrating the periphery
just part of the maelstrom
for things I didn't see
adoring my loyalty
too devoted to the family.
