Lineage Lyrics

Lineage lyrics

Always remember, story uh, laughter, remember your family 
 
 
I was six years old when I fell down on Spencer Ave. 
It was my aunt suzy’s house and I still can see the bruise 
I remember grand daddy even though I never sat on his knee 
He taught me life was culture baby 
My uncle David they call him Jello the only man that could say hello 
And it sound like angels singing in your ear 
And even though they all passed away I still long for their company 
And I wonder God why couldn’t they stay 
 
 
So I gotta remember though I’m young that my time will surely come 
And now I gotta try to keep it together as I watch my family pass me by 
So remember, so remember, so remember  
So remember, so remember, so remember 
So remember, so remember, so remember  
So remember, so remember, so remember your family 
 
 
I was twelve years old when my uncle Andrew had got sick 
And Jaundice turn to HIV and then his body quit 
It was strange the numbness I felt, watching him all dressed in black 
Wasn’t thinking about what he gave up but about all I lacked 
 
 
So I gotta believe, that if I give I can live through eternity 
And I gotta know, if I don’t share myself know one will ever know 
So remember, so remember, so remember  
So remember, so remember, so remember 
So remember, so remember, so remember  
So remember, so remember, so remember your family 
  
Repeat 
 
 
I always yeah remember what my mama told me 
I always yeah, always take the bitter with the sweet 
I always yeah, remember what auntie told me 
I always yeah, even when it’s hard be a lady baby 
I always yeah, remember what grand daddy said 
I always yeah, you got to lay in the bed you make 
I always yeah, remember what my uncle taught me 
I always yeah, don’t give up when it gets hard keep pushing baby 
And you got to, remember everything they taught you 
And you got to, hold on to what is true 
And you got to, never forget where you coming from 
And you got to, and you got to, and remember 
 
 
Remember, I said one more time, remember oh 
Remember, so remember, so remember (repeat) 
Your family
