Lineage lyrics

Artist  : Jaguar wright 
Song : Lineage
 
Always remember, story uh, laughter, remember your
family 
 
 
I was six years old when I fell down on Spencer
Ave. 
It was my aunt suzy’s house and I still can see
the bruise 
I remember grand daddy even though I never sat on
his knee 
He taught me life was culture baby 
My uncle David they call him Jello the only man
that could say hello 
And it sound like angels singing in your ear 
And even though they all passed away I still long
for their company 
And I wonder God why couldn’t they stay 
 
 
So I gotta remember though I’m young that my time
will surely come 
And now I gotta try to keep it together as I
watch my family pass me by 
So remember, so remember, so remember  
So remember, so remember, so remember 
So remember, so remember, so remember  
So remember, so remember, so remember your family

 
 
I was twelve years old when my uncle Andrew had
got sick 
And Jaundice turn to HIV and then his body quit 
It was strange the numbness I felt, watching him
all dressed in black 
Wasn’t thinking about what he gave up but about
all I lacked 
 
 
So I gotta believe, that if I give I can live
through eternity 
And I gotta know, if I don’t share myself know
one will ever know 
So remember, so remember, so remember  
So remember, so remember, so remember 
So remember, so remember, so remember  
So remember, so remember, so remember your family

  
Repeat 
 
 
I always yeah remember what my mama told me 
I always yeah, always take the bitter with the
sweet 
I always yeah, remember what auntie told me 
I always yeah, even when it’s hard be a lady baby

I always yeah, remember what grand daddy said 
I always yeah, you got to lay in the bed you make

I always yeah, remember what my uncle taught me 
I always yeah, don’t give up when it gets hard
keep pushing baby 
And you got to, remember everything they taught
you 
And you got to, hold on to what is true 
And you got to, never forget where you coming
from 
And you got to, and you got to, and remember 
 
 
Remember, I said one more time, remember oh 
Remember, so remember, so remember (repeat) 
Your family
