Nicole C. Mullen - Family Tree lyrics

Here's a little spoken word for you It's coffee and the tree He was a beautiful shade of chocolate She was a beautiful shade of red And under the watchful eyes of Heaven Afro Indian girl, boy were wed Little did they know so long ago Flowers would come From the seed they'd sown? Yeah Little did they know What would come to be? A forest would grow From the soil and the seed, now These are the branches In my family tree Napoleon, Betsy, Isaac, Eloise And under their branches I can feel a breeze Where the leaves from the trees Make a canopy for me to Live in the shade, yeah The leaves from their trees Made a canopy for me To live in the shade Live in the shade Live in the shade I wanna I, I wanna I wanna thank you 'Cause you took the heat for me You, you took the heat for me You took the heat for me You, you took the heat for me Papa, you took the heat for me Man, you, you, you, you took the heat for me Grandpa, you took the heat for me You took the heat for me You, you took the heat for me You took the heat for me You, you took the heat for me You took the heat for me You, you, you, you, you took the heat for me
