Lineage Lyrics - Singles - Jaguar Wright

I was six years old when I fell down on Spencer Avenue 

It was my Aunt, Suzy's house, and I still can see the bruise 

I remember Grand Daddy and even though I never sat on his knee 

He taught me life is culture, baby 

My Uncle David, they call him Jello, the only man that could say hello 

And it sound like angels singing in your ears 

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, remember, 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 that 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 

So remember, so remember, so remember 

So remember, so remember, so remember 

So remember, remember, remember 

So remember, so remember, so remember your family 

Remember 

So remember, so remember, so remember 

So remember, so remember, so remember 

So remember, remember, remember 

So remember, so remember, so remember your family 

I always, remember what my Mama told me 

I always, always take the bitter with the sweet 

I always, remember what Auntie taught me 

I always, even when it's hard be a lady, baby 

I always, remember what Grand Daddy said 

I always, you got to lay in the bed you make 

I always, remember what my Uncle taught me 

I always, 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 what is true 

And you got to, never forget where you coming from 

And you got to, and you got to, and remember 

Remember, remember, I said one more time, remember 

So remember, so remember, so remember 

So remember, so remember, so remember 

So remember, remember, remember 

So remember, so remember, so remember your family 

You've got to [Incomprehensible] remember your family 

Hold on to your dreams [Incomprehensible] 

So remember, so remember, so remember 

So remember, so remember, so remember 

So remember, remember, remember 

So remember, so remember, so remember your family 

Never let it go, yeah 

Oh no, oh no 

You've got to, you've got to, you've got to remember
