Family Tree Lyrics - Priscilla Renea

I have a mother, I have a pa 

We look pretty in that picture on the wall 

I love my brothers and my sisters too 

Lord, forgive them, for they know not what they do 

My mama never taught me 'bout the world 

'Cause the world turned her inside out 

My pa was the right arm of the law 

Kept us all locked in the house 

My brothers and my sisters needed love 

So I grew and they clung to me 

Till I became the roots and the fruits 

And the branches on my family tree 

Pain carved its name 

And my heart froze like winter 

And the splinter kindled embers 

Lay forgotten till they blossomed

And they were hangin' out on a limb 

All those hopes and dreams just blowing in the wind 

All my aunties and my uncles too 

Said "she'll be back and pregnant on her own in a month or two" 

My mama kicked me out of the house 

On the day I turned 17 

My daddy called me up and told me 

Boxes of my stuff was sittin' on the street 

Felt like I had the world on my shoulders 

But really, it was at my feet 

Till I became the roots and the fruits 

And the branches on my family tree 

Pain carved its name 

And my heart froze like winter 

And the splinter kindled embers 

Lay forgotten till they blossomed
