Here's a little spoken word for you   It's coffee and the tree      He 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 wed      Little 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, now      These are the branches   In my family tree   Napoleon, Betsy, Isaac, Eloise   And under their branches   I can feel a breeze      Where 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 shade      Live in the shade   Live in the shade      I 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 me      You, 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 me      You, 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
