Family Tree (feat. Martha Da'Ro)

I got his eyes, I tell his lies

Try to escape it, goddammit, I try

I got his face, I got his ways

I try to fight it but sometimes I stray

I got his eyes, I tell his lies

Try to escape it, goddammit, I try

I got his face, I got his ways

I try to fight it but sometimes I stray

Shit, I'm tryin' not to ruin the fun

Too bad, I'm my granddad's son

I'm a well-raised lad, I ain't dumb

But it feels so good and the urge is strong

Genes skip a generation in my family tree, that's the observation

I don't want to be part of the gene mutation

We're an awful breed

Happy my salvation that my mum's so sweet

He went from life to life, and from wife to wife

And ended up alone and that's the way he died

Neglected his kid and he always lied

He was like an angel in the streets but a demon in the household

Devil in the sheets but the heart was so cold

"Watch the pitfalls" what I've been told

But my heart got broke and my love got sold

I got his eyes, I tell his lies

Try to escape it, goddammit, I try

I got his face, I got his ways

I try to fight it but sometimes I stray

I got his eyes, I tell his lies

Try to escape it, goddammit, I try

I got his face, I got his ways

I try to fight it but sometimes I stray

So fuck predestination

I know my destination

Fuck you and what you did

Nothing but a kid in some big-man shoes

When you went away, we waited for you

Left with Mama's tears and some anger too

Now I'm a woman I got trust issues

I'll be trying, I'm not perfect

Lord forgive me 'cause I can't forgive

Trying to forget but demons of my past keep hounding me

Tragic memories, fear and nicotine

Way you look at me, I bet you recognize yourself now

I got his eyes, I tell his lies

Try to escape it, goddammit, I try

I got his face, I got his ways

I try to fight it but sometimes I stray

I got his eyes, I tell his lies

Try to escape it, goddammit, I try

I got his face, I got his ways

I try to fight it but sometimes I stray

Daddy calls me by his name

Says he's in my DNA

And I know I look the same

I don't wanna play that game

Daddy calls me by his name

Says he's in my DNA

And I know I look the same

But I don't wanna play that game

I got his eyes, I tell his lies

Try to escape it, goddammit, I try

I got his face, I got his ways

I try to fight it but sometimes I stray

I got his eyes, I tell his lies

Try to escape it, goddammit, I try

I got his face, I got his ways

I try to fight it but sometimes I stray

So fuck predestination

I know my destination

Fuck you and what you did
