| My great-grandmomma ain’t a slave
|
| My great great great great great grandmother
|
| Was a maid
|
| I think that were just made of the same thing
|
| Keeping it together, got the brave in the membrane
|
| Ticky, tick tick that keeps you sane
|
| Are the remnants reminiscing in my brain
|
| 1947 when he caught that train
|
| And met my momma’s momma in the pouring rain
|
| Ok, light skinned brother with the hazel eyes
|
| Cause ain’t nobody messing with VJ
|
| I got a sense of humor, I theorize
|
| From everything he sent down my way
|
| Bloodlines, like cousins like loving
|
| It’s nothing. |
| Put them down when its tough
|
| And tie those loose ends to make them meet
|
| Everything is gravy when your people live down the street
|
| I see ya, so wait…
|
| Take this before you escape
|
| Don’t make the past feel like a mistake (repeat)
|
| Swirling, black abyss
|
| Stardust misting, raining down
|
| Shining like the gems of eternity
|
| Formulating for me and mine
|
| Perhaps one day we can mine
|
| Throwing all those minerals and chemical elements
|
| Into the pot
|
| Uh-oh we’re getting hot
|
| Through some sun on the stove top
|
| Close the lid, beware of the pop
|
| Of the splash back
|
| Add a dash of that acid
|
| Voila
|
| One day we’ll show our kids what we did the Big bang
|
| Dearly beloved, we’re gathered here today
|
| Witnessing something that we cannot explain
|
| Dearly departed, we’re gather here today
|
| Witnessing something that we cannot explain |
