Family Tree

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
