Shrub - My Blood Lyrics

This is for my blood
This is for my blood
This is for my mom and dad
This is for my mom and dad

I knew since the time we was just little boys
That our daddy was a daddy, 'cause he made that choice
If I could be half the f*cking man that you are
I'd be the greatest dad to ever circle round this bright star
The sun don't always shine
But with you by my side
Everything will be fine
And I never went a day thinking any other way
You see the rain comes and fades
But your love doesn't sway
And even though it took me all these years
And even though I shed all these tears
Your baby boy has a life of his own
But I'll never be alone
'Cause you're standing right here. Yeah

This is for my blood, my blood
This is for my blood, this is for my blood
This is for my mom and dad
And that was for my dad
This is for my mom and dad
And this for my mom

I knew since the time we was just little boys
That our momma was a momma, 'cause she made that choice
You'd always kiss my cheek, as you tucked me in my sheets
Tell me that you loved me, yes, you sang me to sleep
You used to have the world's most beautiful voice
Yo I heard, you had the world's most beautiful voice
They said you had the world's most beautiful voice
Yo I heard, yo I heard
You were getting paid to sing, 'til this day came
Right before you had me, and shit done changed
I was in ya tummy, and the doc looked strange
In one month I'm coming, but to ease the pain
See my momma needed pills each day
And the best doc in town says there's no other way
We're gonna have to operate today
You've already lost your throat, but you won't lose Jay

This is for my blood
My blood
My blood
This is for my blood
My blood
This is for my
This is for my blood
This is for my mom and dad
This is for my mom and dad

I'm really glad I have you
'Cause all the shit that I do
Would drive most parents crazy
But that shit never phased you
And I'm forever grateful
And I'm forever thankful
And you're forever in my heart
And that is where you'll be 'til
The day I die
That day I die
Some day I'll die
One day I'mma die
Momma don't cry
Pray there's a heaven, up in the sky
One day I'mma fade away
And set the world on fire
Watch the sky turn gray
One day I'mma die
Momma don't cry
Pray there's a heaven, up in the sky
One day I'mma fade away
And set the world on fire
Watch the sky turn gray
