Testo Family Tree - De'Wayne Jackson
Testo della canzone Family Tree (De'Wayne Jackson), tratta dall'album Family Tree
I don't know where my family tree is
Only thing connect us gotta be Jesus
I mean people don't believe in Jesus
Niggas do even though we never seen him
I know it's something bigger cause he made me
June 27th Monique delivered a baby
To a kid named Dwayne gave me the same name
Without the Junior she wasn't playing no games
That's no disrespect to my father in that bar
No matter what I heard him say you been a star
Nana used to tell me bout you
I don't wanna live my life without you
Growing up I wanted to be just like you
Papa was hard papa could fight
Papa fuck your bitch all night
Yeah papa had respect on the corner
And his papa rolled with the Crips in California
Now when I walk past the mirror
It's starting to make a little sense to me
Everything I'm becoming it ain't nothing new
Ain't saying that I'm proud of it it's the fucking truth
Ever since a youth I had gotten seen violence all in a day
When you different at school hearing whispers like is he gay
What the fuck this nigga say
I throw my headphones on and forget about all the rain cause
My family of trees
It grows deep inside of me
Hey one time for the ones who lost their way
400 Years in these chains you can't escape
Even the ones that we love they can not stay
Afraid to help so we break so we pray
I never meant to upset you
No I didn't become everything that I promised
Excuse your son for blowing his nose in his tissue
It's not cause your son got sinus problems
Growing up we never talked about the problems
How my white friends they were yelling at their mama
The truth that our house hold beneath the ground floor
If I felt a certain way I had to try and hide it
With all of us that go Niq, Carm, Dre, Nell, Lo, Day
Young Ken I promise there's not a day
Y'all don't cross my mind I travel via the train
With my pockets just as broke as the day that I fucking came
I throw my headphones on the clouds in LA
Grey as ever I feel the rain
But it was too hard to make the phone call
It felt so cathartic just writing it on a page listen
My family of trees
It grows deep inside of me
Hey one time for the ones who lost their way
400 Years in these chains you can't escape
Even the ones that we love they can not stay
Afraid to help so we break so we pray
My family of trees
It grows deep inside of me
Hey one time for the ones who lost their way
400 Years in these chains you can't escape
Even the ones that we love they can not stay
Afraid to help so we break so we pray
Hey one time for the ones who lost their way
400 Years in these chains you can't escape
Even the ones that we love they can not stay
Afraid to help so we break so we pray
