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 Please reply
