Lineage and Lavender

Intro

Yeah

Look

K-Dot and the 6

Different sides of the same fence

Check it

Verse 1

Concrete stained with the tricycle grease

Watching my cousins turn ghosts in the summer

My mother folded the laundry

She sang while the TV hummed low

Told me don't act like a hero

Just breathe while you're young and alive

My father's hands are heavy stone

But he prays when the kitchen gets quiet

Prayers don't always pay the rent

Hunger makes a child act older

Way before I could shave

I was guarding the door for the kin

Chorus

Legacy living in my veins

Water the roots through the heat and the rain

Bloodline thick

Bloodline stays

Heavy is the name

Carry it home to the family

Verse 2

Passport stamps don't erase where we started

The dinner table used to be smaller

Luxury feels like a burden

The jewelry just gets in the way

Of holding my son for a minute

Of showing him how to be real

Maybe I wanted the gold

Maybe I needed the peace

Maybe I'm finding the balance

Between the lights and the living room carpet

Adonis asking where the jet goes

I tell him it's just a metal bird

Chorus

Legacy living in my veins

Water the roots through the heat and the rain

Bloodline thick

Bloodline stays

Heavy is the name

Carry it home to the family

Bridge

Generations calling out

From the soil to the crown

Tears fell down

Pride fell down

Walls fell down

Teach the kids the truth instead of hiding the mistakes

Chorus

Legacy living in my veins

Water the roots through the heat and the rain

Bloodline thick

Bloodline stays

Heavy is the name

Carry it home to the family

Outro

Keep it close

Closer than you think

Rooted deep

Yeah

Family first

Always
