Lizzo - Bloodlines Lyrics
My great-grandmomma ain’t a slaveMy great great great great great grandmotherWas a maidI think that were just made of the same thingKeeping it together, got the brave in the membraneTicky, tick tick that keeps you saneAre the remnants reminiscing in my brain1947 when he caught that trainAnd met my momma’s momma in the pouring rainOk, light skinned brother with the hazel eyesCause ain’t nobody messing with VJI got a sense of humor, I theorizeFrom everything he sent down my wayBloodlines, like cousins like lovingIt’s nothing. Put them down when it's toughAnd tie those loose ends to make them meetEverything is gravy when your people live down the streetI see ya, so wait…Take this before you escapeDon’t make the past feel like a mistake (repeat)Swirling, black abyssStardust misting, raining downShining like the gems of eternityFormulating for me and minePerhaps one day we can mineThrowing all those minerals and chemical elementsInto the potUh-oh we’re getting hotThrough some sun on the stove topClose the lid, beware of the popOf the splash backAdd a dash of that acidVoilaOne day we’ll show our kids what we did the Big bangDearly beloved, we’re gathered here todayWitnessing something that we cannot explainDearly departed, we’re gather here todayWitnessing something that we cannot explain[Repeat till end]
