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
 
 1947 when 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 VJ
 
 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 its 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 (repeat)
  
 
 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
