Family Reunion Lyrics - Jill Scott

We at the family reunion 

Tellin' jokes and playin' spades 

Uncle Dave is on the barbecue grill 

Grandma braggin 'bout the blanket she made 

For the new baby on her way 

Even though the daddy ain't really ready 

This child is coming, anyway, yeah 

Neicey made her famous potato salad, somehow it turns out green 

Maybe its all the scalyums, could be the celery 

But oh, Uncle Jerome loves it (Hm) 

Hey baby baby, here comes my favorite, my favorite cousin 

He says he doing fine, takin' it one step a day but in my heart I know it ain't that way 

[Chorus] 

Whoa whoa-o-whoa whoa-o-whoa whoa-o-whoa 

What can you say, its family 

And whoa whoa-o-whoa whoa-o-whoa whoa-o-whoa 

What can you say, its family 

Aunt Juicy been drinkin' again, ooh its only 1:30 in the afternoon 

Everybody tip-toeing 'round her, we all know she gonna be toe up soon 

Saying all the things we like to say, hope she gets around to Cousin Lonnie 

Cause We all know he got a little extra somebody on the side (But) 

[Chorus] 

Oh shit, Damn Micky and Steven are fightin' again 

Move out the way, somebody might get hurt 

Aw Look at that what happen is worst 

They knocked over Helenora's Lemon Cake (Em) 

You know the one she barely ever makes 

I'm gettin' rilled up, I want them to go 

But Somebody turn Frankly Beverly on the stereo 

Cousin Ruby starts rockin', shaker her good hip and bottom 

So we all fall into place, smiling and laughing 

[Chorus: x2]
