Family Tree ft. Rare Kommodity Lyrics

This my family tree

From a branch

And a leaf

Even though this whole time

I was always the seed

I don't do this for likes

For the love

Of my seeds

This the life

That I want

Water down

On me please

Yes Lord

I was born

A mistake

At least the way

It was told

Got a sister my age

Let the story unfold

Daddy had him a lady

With my mom on the side

I came into this world

Chip on my shoulder

No lie

Age four I was good

New daddy came by

Married momma

In July of nineteen eighty nine

Me and my sister Todia

Got us some siblings

That's cool

Sister and brother

And that brother same age

As me too?

Now on the other side

Of life

I got a sister and brother

Biological

He been drinking and smoking

With many others

But my new daddy man?

He got a big family too

So many uncles and aunties

The love I'm getting is cool

Can't forget my mommas side

Got two uncles

And some aunties

And my granny

And my grandpa with multiple women

Married

So of course I'm learning early

How this loving is a luxury

But momma kept me close

Cause she knew that life

Was not for me

This my family tree

From a branch

And a leaf

Even though this whole time

I was always the seed

I don't do this for likes

For the love

Of my seeds

This the life

That I want

Water down

On me please

Yes Lord

Years down the line

Prolly around age nine

Had a clear understanding

That my father's on decline

Especially when my uncle

Told me one time

I had more siblings

But they moved to AZ

And they were fine

And now I wrestle

With these angry thoughts

Inside my mind

How a man could

Make all of these children

Yet couldn't love me

Leave me

Then I learn the impact

Of catching things

Courtesy of hereditary

Damn

Keep them demons

Off of me

Years go by

Seeing my step brother & sister

Have connections

With their family

A vivid picture

Even if it wasn't

What I thought

Just the simple fact

They had the opportunity

While I was lost

Wondering why me

Now I had the chance

To bond with my other family

Crazy how they know

More bout my biological

Than me

Knowing this nigga

At a point

Gave no fucks about me

Lesson learned

Fire burned

Extinguish it

Lord please

This my family tree

From a branch

And a leaf

Even though this whole time

I was always the seed

I don't do this for likes

For the love

Of my seeds

This the life

That I want

Water down

On me please

Yes Lord

Fast forward to when

I found out

I had more

Two more sisters and a brother

Almost fell to the floor

Now I'm married

With two children of my own

And the force

That combined my wife's families

Is taking a toll

Got a nigga stretched thin

Tryna please everybody

Let's not forget

Two thousand five Todia died

Thats my heartbeat

I went through years

Of this grieving

And so much anger involved

That when I finally felt peace

My mom left with the lord

Oh God

Now I'm stuck

With these thoughts

Suicidal yet knowing

I got way more than I thought

I live for Kingston and Kendrick

I live for Shawn tell Marie

I live for anybody connected

To my family

I'm such a patch work

Of living souls

Sewn on a quilt

Inside my heart

A living art

Just tryna love

From the start

And yes the lord

Knows my heart

Doing the best that I can

Whether you love me

Or hate me

Respect me for who I am

Within my family tree

From a branch

And a leaf

Even though this whole time

I was always the seed

I don't do this for likes

For the love

Of my seeds

This the life

That I want

Water down

On me please

Lord
