Line of Blood Lyrics

Well, it was said

On the day of my birth

The ghost of a dead man

Walked the earth

And my mama don't love me none

She hates everything my daddy done

He got killed on a steel mill line

Just like his daddy in a

Black coal mine

They say I'm the bastard son

Of one bad motherfuckin' line of blood

They say I'm the bastard son

Of one bad motherfuckin' line of blood

I got an uncle in a Jackson cell

Served 13 years

But he's still got 12

That's 25, baby

He killed his brother with a swingin' spade

Now he's six feet deep in a

Early grave

He got killed before his time

Just like his

Just like his daddy died

They say I'm the bastard son

Of one bad motherfuckin' line of blood

They say I'm the bastard son

Of one bad motherfuckin' line of blood

I can't catch a break

'Cause if I make one damn mistake

They're gonna hang me, hey, hey, hey

Half Detroit would sell their soul

To see me swingin' from a gallows pole

For somethin'

Somethin' my daddy done

Come on

Yo, it was said

On the day of my birth

That the ghost of a dead man

Walked the earth

All right

And my mama don't love me none

Because she knows

I'm my daddy's son

He got killed on a steel mill line

Just like his daddy

Just like his daddy died

They say I'm the bastard son

Of one bad motherfuckin' line of blood

They say I'm the bastard son

Of one bad motherfuckin' line of blood

Yeah, yeah, yeah
