One love to my family tree and to the highest degree
I'm just a part of your leaves
Why I always believe up in my family tree
Wasn't for you there wouldn't be me
One love to my family tree and to the highest degree
I'm just a part of your leaves
Why I always believe up in my family tree
Wasn't for you there wouldn't be me
While I'm carrying the family name
My main aim was to never bring the family shame
You have no flaw then you better show me your face
One or two fall out no family blame
Many ways how you deal with the family pain
Birth or a death when the family change
When Uncle said bye is when the family raised
All came together no family games
I have pride being part of the family veins
I know we all live real no family chains
Believe it hits hard when the family strain
I wonder which one of us will bring the family fame
Shed tears had abuse the family stayed
In the midst of windrush lord its been tough
Why I send love and i'm due a visit
The yard the motherland man i'm here in spirit you know
We came so far the seed from yard
The tears the scars from what's achieved so far
The streets were hard
When they arrived racism and struggle the strife to survive
Paid for five kids school clothing and housing
All on a chance like they didn't know what doubt is
Granny breaks back for our parents to stand up
So in the future we can give the hand up
Planting the seed the branch of the tree
The cycle of life is something they've seen
I pray your around to see em grow
But when your gone memories will live on you know
So this goes out to my family tree
I'm thankful for the path that you laid for me
I pray you see your hard work realised
And thankful for your place in my life
The blacker the berry sweeter the juice
I don't wanna see John Barnes up on my news
Like he speaks for us all how dare you assume
Rather have him than an Akala in the room right
Have a debate you're gonna hear us out
You rather dismiss I know your fears and doubts
Real you shows up oh you had enough know
Make Britain great again you make Trump proud
One love to my family tree and to the highest degree
I'm just a part of your leaves
Why I always believe up in my family tree
Wasn't for you there wouldn't be me
One love to my family tree and to the highest degree
I'm just a part of your leaves
Why I always believe up in my family tree
Wasn't for you there wouldn't be me
