Blood

Yeah See I’ve been, all around the world but never left the house Seen a young one stumble under doubt Some be thinking they not good enough, Others weak minded, thinking they all cool and stuff Yeah Old news, under the sun I’ve been an old man seeking for answers on the run I’ve seen a young man, thinking he had all but one And he never let go, till the Lord said it’s done That’s it, wait I can’t let go of my father’s gifts Yeah he had his issues, after all we all exist Nevertheless we gon’ all seem to falter this Grab the bottle and refuse to acknowledge it, uh See your Uncle thought the same That’s why he went around hearing as they called his name Yeah, and now he’s in for ten more You can guarantee the Devil saw him down, and then he marked the board Yeah, see it’s scandalous The way we lose ourselves to life, we just can’t handle it But I can’t be no stranger I gotta, step it up and ignore all the danger It’s how I think Yeah Uh You don’t seem the listen, but if you did I see you already slipping Did I tell you it was Tuesday? Your father called and he saying that it’s too late Yeah, you already stumbled, that’s too bad guess you’re already humbled We all responsible for everything, and that includes every drank I’m hammering thangs I’m getting mad at the sight of my name, I guess it’s bad but I don’t seem to think Blood is thicker than water, and I can’t change what that means I used to, say That I wouldn’t be like them That I would grow, and I would learn to help free my friends Yeah, and as your friends start to turn And you all start to yearn, who’s gonna be the one to say that you’ve been burned I can be like Grandpa Gill if I wanted Own a house on a hill, selling pills if I wanted But that’s not me, I just take all the pain and store it softly Give the vengeance to the Lord, I know he’s got me Yeah, but it’s hard when you getting stabbed in the back I turn my face on a trap and I walk in it blindly With no ropes behind me, I’ll take you on I’m not to be taken lightly And if we both go home, I thank you very kindly Yeah, see it’s very simplistic, as long as you mind your business I’ma protect my fam, got revenge on my wish list Pray to God for forgiveness, he know I’m hurting I’ma need his help before my head, start it’s turning See the world is burning and we all with it I’ma need his strength before my heart gives in
