Family Reunion Songtext
von 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 comin′ 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

Hmm, hey baby, baby
Here comes my favorite, my favorite cousin
He says he doin′ fine, takin' it one step a day
But in my heart I know it ain′t that way

Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh, whoa
What can you say? it's family
And whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh, whoa
What can you say? It′s family


Aunt Juicy's been drinkin′ again
It's only one thirty in the afternoon
Everybody tiptoein' ′round her
We all know she′s gonna be toe up soon
Sayin' 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

Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh, whoa
What can you say? it's family
And whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh, whoa
What can you say? It′s family

Oh sh*t, d*mn Micky and Steven are fightin' again
Move out the way, somebody might get hurt
Aww, look at that what happen is worst
They knocked over Helenora′s lemon cake
You know the one she barely ever makes

I'm gettin' rilled up, I want them to go
But somebody turn Franky, Beverly on the stereo
Cousin Ruby starts rockin′
Shakin′ her good hip and bottom
So we all fall into place, smilin' and laughin′...

Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh, whoa
What can you say? it's family
And whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh, whoa
What can you say? my family (family)


Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh, whoa
What can you say? It′s family
And whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh, whoa
What can you say?
