Bloodlines

Bloodlines - Lizzo

Written by：Melissa Jefferson/Aaron Mader/Ryan Olson

My great grandmomma ain't a slave

My great great great great great grandmother

Was a maid

I think that were just made of the same thing

Keeping it together got the brave in the membrane

Ticky tick tick that keeps you sane

Are the remnants reminiscing in my brain

1947when he caught that train

And met my momma's momma in the pouring rain

Ok light skinned brother with the hazel eyes

'Cause ain't nobody messing with V J

I got a sense of humor I theorize

From everything he sent down my way

Bloodlines like cousins like loving

It's nothing put them down when it's tough

And tie those loose ends to make them meet

Everything is gravy when your people live down the street

I see ya so wait

Take this before you escape

Don't make the past feel like a mistake my mistake

So wait

Take this before you escape

Don't make the past feel like a mistake

Aaah aah aah aah

Swirling black abyss

Stardust misting raining down

Shining like the gems of eternity

Formulating for me and mine

Perhaps one day we can mine

Throwing all those minerals and chemical elements

Into the pot

Uh oh we're getting hot

Through some sun on the stove top

Close the lid beware of the pop

Of the splash back

Add a dash of that acid

Voila

One day we'll show our kids what we did the

Big bang

Dearly beloved we're gathered here today

Witnessing something that we cannot explain

Dearly departed we're gather here today

Witnessing something that we cannot explain explain

So dearly beloved we're gathered here today

Witnessing something that we cannot explain

Dearly departed we're gather here today

Witnessing something that we cannot explain
