J.J. - Blood Lyrics

Yeah
See I’ve been, all around the world but never left the house
Seen a young one stumble under doubt
Some be thinking they not good enough,
Others weak minded, thinking they all cool and stuff
Yeah
Old news, under the sun
I’ve been an old man seeking for answers on the run
I’ve seen a young man, thinking he had all but one
And he never let go, till the Lord said it’s done
That’s it, wait
I can’t let go of my father’s gifts
Yeah he had his issues, after all we all exist
Nevertheless we gon’ all seem to falter this
Grab the bottle and refuse to acknowledge it, uh
See your Uncle thought the same
That’s why he went around hearing as they called his name
Yeah, and now he’s in for ten more
You can guarantee the Devil saw him down, and then he marked the board
Yeah, see it’s scandalous
The way we lose ourselves to life, we just can’t handle it
But I can’t be no stranger I gotta, step it up and ignore all the danger
It’s how I think
Yeah
Uh
You don’t seem the listen, but if you did
I see you already slipping
Did I tell you it was Tuesday? Your father called and he saying that it’s too late
Yeah, you already stumbled, that’s too bad guess you’re already humbled
We all responsible for everything, and that includes every drank
I’m hammering thangs
I’m getting mad at the sight of my name, I guess it’s bad but I don’t seem to think
Blood is thicker than water, and I can’t change what that means
I used to, say
That I wouldn’t be like them
That I would grow, and I would learn to help free my friends
Yeah, and as your friends start to turn
And you all start to yearn, who’s gonna be the one to say that you’ve been burned
I can be like Grandpa Gill if I wanted
Own a house on a hill, selling pills if I wanted
But that’s not me, I just take all the pain and store it softly
Give the vengeance to the Lord, I know he’s got me
Yeah, but it’s hard when you getting stabbed in the back
I turn my face on a trap and I walk in it blindly
With no ropes behind me, I’ll take you on I’m not to be taken lightly
And if we both go home, I thank you very kindly
Yeah, see it’s very simplistic, as long as you mind your business
I’ma protect my fam, got revenge on my wish list
Pray to God for forgiveness, he know I’m hurting
I’ma need his help before my head, start it’s turning
See the world is burning and we all with it
I’ma need his strength before my heart gives in

Yeah
See I’ve been, all around the world but never left the house
Seen a young one stumble under doubt
Some be thinking they not good enough,
Others weak minded, thinking they all cool and stuff
Yeah
Old news, under the sun
I’ve been an old man seeking for answers on the run
I’ve seen a young man, thinking he had all but one
And he never let go, till the Lord said it’s done
That’s it, wait
