Know I'm grateful for the fam
Been a minute but damn
Nothing thicker than blood son
Miss the nephew and the cousins
Hope they all know I love em
All my people overseas
Met my grand dad once
Remember him telling me
Don't forget the truth
You are just a leaf
That's connected to the branches
Gotta know your family tree
Said he's something like the trunk
Then I asked him what's the use
He said if you wanna grow
Then you gotta know your roots

Blood
They say we're from sticks and the mud
The message they taught me
In school growing up
But my mom wasn't raised in a hut
Just a shithole according to Trump
Most people ain't seen what I've seen
A beautiful land
Where a girl met a man
Had a fam
And a daughter who they called Suzanne
Youngest of five she was one of the branch
That connects to the trunk
With the roots in the sand
At twelve my first steps on the land
Felt the strength of my clan
Met the children of uncles and aunt
Been way too long
Need to hop on a plane
We haven't talked in so long I'm ashamed
So many cousins forgetting some names
But I'll never forget where I came
Sayin'

Know I'm grateful for the fam
Been a minute but damn
Nothing thicker than blood son
Miss the nephew and the cousins
Hope they all know I love em
All my people overseas
Met my grand dad once
Remember him telling me
Don't forget the truth
You are just a leaf
That's connected to the branches
Gotta know your family tree
Said he's something like the trunk
Then I asked him what's the use
He said if you wanna grow
Then you gotta know your roots

Island boy
Island girl
Had island son who saw the world
Cause island girl knew
Just what travel could do
Change your perspective
With new point of view
Way out in Wales
Where they sent him to school
Never forgetting them roots
Like 242 to the planet
A beach with a hammock
My cousins
My grandma I don't take for granted
Thank you for making
This hard work a talent
Thanks uncle Timmy for musical talent
Wrote National Anthem
Let's make this an anthem
Whole family's above
So how could I be average
Why would I be average
High life man it's good
Where I'm standing
Insight man y'all know that I have it
But where would I be
If it wasn't for family

Know I'm grateful for the fam
Been a minute but damn
Nothing thicker than blood son
Miss the nephew and the cousins
Hope they all know I love em
All my people overseas
Met my grand dad once
Remember him telling me
Don't forget the truth
You are just a leaf
That's connected to the branches
Gotta know your family tree
Said he's something like the trunk
Then I asked him what's the use
He said if you wanna grow
Then you gotta know your roots

Identity crisis
My parents ain't from here
I'm raised in a climate
Injustice and violence
My bros and I struggled
But managed to hide it
While also denying
The truth bout our roots
That we slowly let die and
Brought back to life
Almost forgot
Now I'm holding them tight
Know the American dream is so blinding
Gotta get out take a look back inside
To tell the truth know that I would be lying
If I said I ain't chased it for most of my life
Been through some lows and some highs
Man I cannot lie
My fams like the north star
Way up in the sky
Guiding the way when it shines

I feel so disconnected
Been a minute since I checked in
Family overseas
Swear sometimes it gets depressing
Can't take them for granted
I'm just counting up my blessings
Till' the day we're all in heaven
And I see my Gramps again
I feel so disconnected
Been a minute since I checked in
Family overseas
Swear sometimes it gets depressing
Can't take them for granted
I'm just counting up my blessings
Till' the day we're all in heaven
And I see my Dad again

Hi Mitchie
How are you boy
Oh yes you do sound like
Grandpa David hey
Huh
Yay and your Mom also
Your Mom also got a big voice
Like her Dad
Hey Mitchell
You got a huge huge huge voice
Just like Grandpa
Hold on hold on
Uncle Mac wants to talk to you
Hello Mitchell
How are you my boy
Your voice is bigger than mine hey
You're grown now
How old are you
It took me all of
Sixty-six years
To have this voice
And yours
Breaks the ceiling
Have a good day guy
You hear Mitchell
Everybody knows
Grandpa David's voice
Massive voice
I hope your
Your your your
Brains are as
Massive as Grandpa David
You know he was a wise man hey
Does your Mom tell you how wise
Grandpa David was
King Solomon
Yes he was King Solomon
Love you love son
Thanks for talking to me
