Here's a little spoken word for you
It's coffee and the treeHe was a beautiful shade of chocolate
She was a beautiful shade of red
And under the watchful eyes of Heaven
Afro Indian girl, boy were wedLittle did they know so long ago
Flowers would come
From the seed they'd sown? Yeah
Little did they know
What would come to be?A forest would grow
From the soil and the seed, nowThese are the branches
In my family tree
Napoleon, Betsy, Isaac, Eloise
And under their branches
I can feel a breezeWhere the leaves from the trees
Make a canopy for me to
Live in the shade, yeah
The leaves from their trees
Made a canopy for me
To live in the shadeLive in the shade
Live in the shadeI wanna I, I wanna
I wanna thank you
'Cause you took the heat for me
You, you took the heat for me
You took the heat for meYou, you took the heat for me
Papa, you took the heat for me
Man, you, you, you, you took the heat for me
Grandpa, you took the heat for me
You took the heat for meYou, you took the heat for me
You took the heat for me
You, you took the heat for me
You took the heat for me
You, you, you, you, you took the heat for me
