RZA Lyrics

[Intro: Kevin Abstract]
Yo, yo
I was talking to my mom the other day
And she was tryna give me advice
About everything that's going on since shit
And I get so lost in my motherfuckin' head
And I be think—
I tried to turn it into somethin'
Tried to turn it into something like
A few bars
Let's hear me out, hear me out, hear me out, it's aight
Yo, yo (Yeah), yo, yo

[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]
I know I gotta be (Come on)
More like RZA be (Come on, come on)
My momma asking me (Woo)
"Ian, why don't you keep the band together?" (Woo)
I know it's hard, but keep the band together (Come on)
Me and your dad were fighting, we stayed together (Come on, come on)
Even once we split, we stayed together (Woo, woo)
Be like your mom and keep the fam' together

[Verse: Kevin Abstract]
All of the songs where I dissed my mom
Helped me help her stay in her home
Now I'm finna lose my home
So never diss where you come from
I gotta be the American flag
Texas where I'm from, got the drums in my bag
Bum-bidi-bum-bidi-bum-bidi-bum
Bum-bidi-bum-bidi-bum-bidi-bum
Mom, I'm feeling new, my hate for you is through
The things that we went through
I wish that I could do it all over again
Even all by myself, cause now I've lost my friends
But I fuck with myself and

[Bridge: Kevin Abstract]
This is what I do whenever I feel excited
This is for my people outside who ain't invited
This is what I do whenever I feel excited
I love it, I love it, I love it, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]
I know I gotta be
More like RZA be
My momma asking me (Woo)
"Ian why dont you keep the band together?" (Woo)

[Outro: The RZA]
You know what's so funny, y'all on RCA right?
That's what, that's what, I mean, that's your major
That's what Wu was on
Referring to the relationships we've encountered
I thought we agreed not to talk about those

About

In the second track of The Family, Kevin Abstract narrates his feelings on the latest events sorrounding his life and the band, the departure of the last, him losing his friends, and the people around him amusing him with the question of “why don’t you keep the band together” to what he references with the second topic.

His mom asks him why doesn’t he keep “the family” together, to what she compares with her relationship with Ian’s father, to what Ian reflects on the many times he has dissed his mom on previous tracks such as Junky and many others.

The track title “RZA” is a reference to the American rapper and producer RZA, the de facto leader of the Wu-Tang Clan. RZA produced most Wu-Tang Clan projects and solo efforts from band members, thus keeping the group together since 1992.
