Lizzo - Bloodlines

My great grandmama ain't a slave
My great, great, great, great, great grandmother was a mai
I think that were just made of the same thing
Keeping it together, got the brave in the membrane
Ticky, the tick, tick that keeps you sane
All the remnants reminiscing in my brain
1947 when he caught that train
And met my momma's momma in the pouring rain

Okay, 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, hold 'em down when its tough
And tie them 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
So wait
Take this before you escape
Don't make the past feel like a mistake

Ah, ah
Ah, ah

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 them minerals, chemicals, elements
Into the pot
Uh-oh, we're getting hot
Throw 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 gathered here today
Witnessing something that we cannot explain

So dearly beloved, we're gathered here today
Witnessing something that we cannot explain
Dearly departed, we're gathered here today
Witnessing something that we cannot explain
