LYRICS
I was born in a ghetto flat
Protected by the man above
Didn't know we had no money
‘Cause we were rich with pure love
Trying to stretch one meal
To last us the whole week
Stomachs was growling
While tears was falling
Down my mama's cheek
I never felt accepted
From the other side of the track
My looks wasn't that privileged
I had to learn to live with that
I'm not complaining
Lord, I’m just explaining
I got the blues in my DNA
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Living life with despair
I came a long, long way
Just to get right here
The hustle is on in the streets, y'all
Of my neighborhood
Corrupt politicians and crooked cops
All up to no good
Paranoia got my head on a swivel
As the bills keep stacking tall
I'm trying my best to stay legit, y'all
With anxiety pitfalls
I'm not complaining
Lord, I’m just explaining
I got the blues in my DNA
Well my grandma and grandpa had them
My momma and daddy, too
I can feel the pain from the chains
From what my ancestors been through
Lord, please purify
This blood running through my veins
Of the blues
The blues in my DNA
Every day has been a blessing
In this life I live
The blues has been a lesson
To turn a bad into a positive
It's got to get better, y'all
With self-accountability
Reverse the curse that's been casted
On me and my family
I'm gonna look into the mirror
With this love from this healing
Keeping the faith with every piece I break
Of this invisible glass ceiling
I'm not complaining
Lord, I’m just explaining
I got the blues in my DNA
I’m not victim blaming
Lord, I’m just explaining
I got the blues in my DNA
I got love in my blood
Blues in my DNA
I got love in my blood
Blues in my DNA
I got love in my blood
Blues in my DNA
I got love in my blood
Blues in my DNA
