Family of Me

[Intro] Ah-ah, ah Ah-ah, ah Ah-ah, ah Ah! [Verse 1] How great I am Got to tell myself, yeah, I'm the man Looks grim right now But, pretty soon, we'll be laughing about it [Chorus] Ooh, and it's alright Yeah, it is, I swear you'll see (It's not really) Yeah, and it's alright 'Cause I've always got my family of me [Verse 2] It's not a first (Might be the last) Yeah, I'm sure I must've been through worse, but [Chorus] Ooh, it's alright Got a paddle and a creek Yeah, and it's alright 'Cause I've always got my family Of me
