Family Tree Lyrics

Welcome to my bloodline, welcome to my family tree

I'ma take it back years ago, before and after me

I'ma start from papa, he crossed paths, met grandma

They such a beautiful couple, they first child was my mama

Then Aunt Lee, Uncle Bunky, and next was Aunt Yvette

And next was Uncle Sherkeith, Uncle Rodney was the last

Long live my Uncle Jermaine, yeah he died at birth

Man, that left a stain, I ain't gon' lie, that hurts

Now it's time for the grandkids, I'ma start off with Junie and Ben

That's forever my brother, some say we look alike, but we ain't twins

Next is my cousins, more like my sisters, Jaleesha and Pearl

Just wanna tell you I love you, keep moving forward

Always keep your head up, I promise it will get better

It's crazy how they are replicas of grandma and they mama

They may be gone, but not forgotten, they will live on forever

I say they will live on forever

Next we got Chance, Elijah, Genesis, JJ, Bianca, Lariah, Layla, Zayden

M3, Patience, Maverick, Marious, Honesty, DJ, Noah, Long Live Baby Kai

I know you in a better place, I know one day you'll hope to see your mama's face

You watching over her everyday, I know you love your mama and your brother too

I know you wanna tell em it's okay and they can make it through

We the Jacksons, and this is our history, we grew up in the ministry

My grandma was the pastor, papa was the deacon

Yeah we come from cogic, the grandkids was singing

I got my joy back, not knowing this world is full of demons

We applying the pressure, both of my aunties they were the ushers

My mom was the choir director, my uncles they were the musicians

We all in positions, we had to play our roles

There's nothing more important on this planet than family

We have our ups and downs just like any other family

We bump heads, we argue, sometimes we disagree

We don't look for bad vibes, we show love and positivity

You beef with one, just know you got beef with the whole family

I wanna take this time, to share my love for you

You know I would ride for you, I would even die for you

I wanna take this time, to tell you that I love you

One love

Long live grandma, long live Aunt lee

Long live baby Kai, and long live Jermaine

A family that prays together, stays together

You feel me? 3115
