Family Tree Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Sometimes beca[A]use of jealousy
and [D]the intent to demise
[Bm]Certain fact[Em]ions have to be
forbidden or destroyed
[D]Fire has [G]to be sent to [Em]the poisoned forest
With the root of fresh [A]trees
planted [D]elsewhere
[Bm]Only then will [Em]you obtain

[Verse 2]
a wilderness
That cannot be penet[D]rated,
pet[Em]rified family tree

[Verse 3]
See what [Em]started as a family forest
[A]Got cut[D] to a family tree with the lim[Bm]bs
And the [Em]leaves looking' at the
world for answers
The world points to the
[D]sun and the [Bm]sun says
The [Em]answers in me, so

[Verse 4]
[Em]
I search through the darkness
Can[A]'t find the key so we [D]locked
in the land of the [Bm]lost
[Em]Lord, please tomorrow ain't
promised to you nor me
So now we [D]choose the root[Em]s, so
we can plant new trees

[Verse 5]
Many [Em]minds always meet
with [A]pens and sheets
Close my eyes,
[D]think what next on my rhymes
[Bm]See this f[Em]ace in ink,
I'm havin' visions of wisdom
Dreamin' 'bout my own [D]ending
Am I seein' death as [Em]freedom and livin' as prison

[Verse 6]
[Em]
My son didn't have a
[A]daddy to shape [D]him so
God bless him with a daddy to save [Bm]him
Yeah I [Em]raise him and pay some attention
He talked and he [D]listened

[Verse 7]
to reach
him and teach him
Before I'm [Em]gone from existence
Teach him 'bout the foes,
the [A]hos and all op[D]ponents
Those that always talk 'bout
[Bm]love but never [Em]showed it

[Verse 8]
Those who had the chances to stand
and always blowed it
[D]Those that set [G]you up by the hour
[Em]to steal your moment
Pac the word is you ain't
[A]there so fuck the rumor
I'll get a [D]pound of that shit
from Bermuda
[Bm]And meet you in [Em]Cuba Fucked

[Verse 9]
up on Larusa no doubt,
I know the [D]locale
If they gotta born you,
I'm gonna [Em]mourne you 'til I join you

[Verse 10]
See what started as a family forest
[A]Got cut to a fam[D]ily tree with the lim[Bm]bs
And the [Em]leaves looking' at the
world for answers
The world points to the
[D]sun and the [Bm]sun says
The [Em]answers in me, so

[Verse 11]
[Em]
I search through the darkness
Can[A]'t find the key so we [D]locked
in the land of the [Bm]lost
[Em]Lord, please tomorrow ain't
promised to you nor me
So now we [D]choose the roots,
so we can [Em]plant new trees
Uhh and now I [A]know I got some family Who

[Verse 12]
[D]
missed me from the heart,
[Bm]forever we're [Em]apart
Just because I'm nothin'
and you abuse me and use me
Now [D]you wanna try to come bruise [Em]me

[Verse 13]
And even though maybe [Em]were in there
Farther than it [A]once [D]was
I know family don't always
Mean that they [Bm]blood 'cause
[Em]some people just
Don't give a nigga what some
people [D]tried to use my [Em]name

[Verse 14]
So all the fat we had [Em]to cut
and I'm still
Walking with my [A]six amp strut
Urban [D]eyes see through camouflage
And now [Bm]I know who's but[Em]t

[Verse 15]
So when I sent you tried to play me
All of a sudden now I'm shady
Maybe [D]deep down in my heart
Never [Em]trust you from the start

[Verse 16]
Never [Em]hoped you'd be my homie,
don't [A]come 'round my [D]way
And if we never speak again,
it's got [Bm]to be that [Em]way
This millennium,
we'll be spankin' your heiny
Remind thee [D]naughty invented
family of [Em]the 90's

[Verse 17]
See what started as a family forest
[A]Got cut[D] to a family tree with the lim[Em]bs
And the leaves looking' at the
world for answers
The world points to the
[D]sun and the sun says
The [Bm]answers [Em]in me, so

[Verse 18]
I search through the darkness
Can[A]'t find the key so we [D]locked
in the land of the [Bm]lost
[Em]Lord, please tomorrow ain't
promised to you nor me
So now we [D]choose the roots,
so we can [Em]plant new trees

[Verse 19]
[Em]Life doesn't end when the sweat [A]dries
A [D]time when a nickle cost a dollar
When you [Bm]rise [Em]your chest dies
My dynasty many fear it cos' I'm near it

[Verse 20]
An[D]cient Egyptian scriptures fitted
[Em]in through hyroglyphics
Motherfuckers try to touch
my [A]mental state
Niggas [D]smile up in your [Em]face
and then they [Bm]infiltrate
[Em]So it seems nowadays that the only plan
[D]To get my

[Verse 21]
people help my
[G]people get a load [Em]of land
And Im'ma see it if I have to [A]kill some shit
To make my [D]family tree
a motherfucking [Bm]wilderness
[Em]See a black man standin'
on the promised land

[Verse 22]
Since they [D]broke every promise
I de[Em]vised a plan this
Black this and black that
[A]crap is gettin' touchy
Any [D]black hat that cross [Bm]my path,
I call [Em]him lucky
Those who turn. they back with
they fears

[Verse 23]
And try to be[D]fore they can see [Em]us
They gonna need us sweet Jesus

[Verse 24]
See what started as a family forest
[A]Got cut to a fam[D]ily tree with the lim[Bm]bs
And the [Em]leaves looking' at the
world for answers
The world points to the
[D]sun and the [Bm]sun says
The [Em]answers in me, so

[Verse 25]
[Em]
I search through the darkness
Can[A]'t find the key so we [D]locked
in the land of the [Bm]lost
[Em]Lord, please tomorrow ain't
promised to you nor me
So now we [D]choose the roots,
so we can [Em]plant new trees

[Verse 26]
See what [Em]started as a family forest
[A]Got cut[D] to a family tree with the lim[Bm]bs
And the [Em]leaves looking' at the

The world points to the
[D]sun and the sun says
The [Em]answers in me, so I

[Verse 27]
[Em]
search through the darkness
Can[A]'t find the key so we [D]locked
in the land of the [Bm]lost
