We’re Family – Original Song by Banton
"We’re Family" is a tribute to the people who weren't born into our lives but chose to stay. It’s a song for the late-night talks, the shared milestones, and the friends who became the siblings we got to choose.

Lyrics:
[intro]
hmmm hmmmmmm
hmmmmm mmmmmmmmm
woiiiii ooiiii oi
youuuuu whooooo oooo
[verse 1]
We walked through the park back from playin around
We'd been up an down and all around
Some dude being rude while we were just walkin
You told him move and gweh that started us talkin
[verse2]
About that could have gone wrong and caused a fight
You said he was probably looking for it, you maybe right
I said I'm tired of people who try to start crap
You said don't worry brother, I got your back
[chorus]
You're not a friend to me, you're family
We're not related that's the reality
But how you got my back is brotherly
And that just means the world to me
You aint no friend to me, you're family
We aint related and that's reality
How you look out for me that's brotherly
And that just means the world to me
[verse 4]
We were due in class to have a test
I'm surely gonna flunk it feeling stress
You told me I didn't have to worry
You knew I'd pass it quite easily
[verse5]
I was concerned I needed help
You said I could pass it all by my self
You've know me so long and made me feel sure
You knew I'd pass it so I worry no more
[chorus]
I know you so long it's like you're family
We're not related that's the reality
But how you got my back is sisterly
And that just means the world to me
You aint no friend to me, you're family
We aint related and that's reality
How you look out for me that's sisterly
And that just means the world to me
woiiiii ooiiii oi
youuuuu whooooo family
[verse 6]
Now a big part of my life is gone
At first I wondered how I would go on
I looked up and saw you standing there
I realised god had answered my prayer
[verse 7]
Because you were there, you were there for me
I treasure you so much so thankfully
So any time I need you and if you need me
We aint no friends, we're family
[chorus]
We've been friends for so long, you're family
We're not related that's the reality
But how you got my back so contently
And that just means the world to me
You're really not a friend to me
And not related that's the reality
But how you got my back means the world to me
And that just means we're family
[outro]
hmmm hmmmmmm
hmmmmm mmmmmmmmm
woiiiii ooiiii oi
youuuuu whooooo family

#WereFamily #ChosenFamily #OriginalMusic #Banton #FriendsLikeFamily #NewMusic2026 #Songwriter The songs I write are written 100% by me, except for one experimental song and that is listed as such. These lyrics are then put along side a composition that is built to whatever degree I wish and then AI creates the final song.
The idea is that I use the ai to make these songs as demos for people to hear and if one of them is inspired to work with the lyrics, something can possibly happen.
There are no claims on any of my own written songs that I am responsible for anything more than this. Hence why it says WRITTEN BY BANTON.
I love doing this. I am enjoying it too. Some of the results are good while some of them are passionate, moving, evocative, and so on.
Peace
