EZI – Family Tree lyrics

[Chorus]
See, apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Should've known the way that you'd be loving me
From the way I see you treat your family
Hate how you couldn't help the way that you were raised
How I let you stay and grow on me
I need better than your family tree
See, apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Should've known the way that you'd be loving me
From the way I see you treat your family
Hate how you couldn't help the way that you were raised
How I let you stay and grow on me
I need better than your family tree

[Verse 1]
I was taught one day in another life
To meet a nice boy and become a wife
He'll put food up on the table and
He'll always be faithful and
You'll always be stable and
You'll never be ungrateful

[Verse 2]
You told me different definitions
'Cause fucked-up seeds carry on tradition
I won't become your new addition
Baby listen, baby listen

[Pre-Chorus]
The truth is that my roots they come from the dark
But, the more that I loved you the more that I learned
I'm not gonna fight what I know I deserve
Know what I deserve

[Chorus]
And it's easy now to see
Apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Should've known the way that you'd be loving me
From the way I see you treat your family
Hate how you couldn't help the way that you were raised
How I let you stay and grow on me
I need better than your family tree

[Interlude]
At 23, she was earning her own living, and living her own life
And in her time, being a bachelor girl isn't the social disgrace it was when our parents called them spinsters

[Bridge]
Maybe I'm just too jaded
Probably way too young to think
That it's so complicated
Too young to think so into things
But, no, no, no, no

[Chorus]
See, apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Should've known the way you'd be loving me
From the way I see you treat your family (family, family)
Oh, hate how you couldn't help the way that you were raised (raised)
How I let you stay and grow on me
I need better than your family tree
See, apple doesn't fall far from the tree (oh no)
Should've known the way you'd be loving me (loving me)
From the way I see you treat your family
Hate how you couldn't help the way that you were raised (way you were raised)
How I let you stay and grow on me (on me)
I need better than your family tree
