Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Hand-me-down plates on a wobbly table Grandma’s laugh cutting through the cheap wine Cousin on the floor with the cable Trying to make the old TV shine We got jokes older than the curtains Stories that we argue every fall We got love that shows up certain Even when we don’t return the call [Chorus] My family My tribe Blood thicker than tap water Pull me through the fire Hotter than the day I caught her Staring back at me Same eyes Same stubborn honor My family My tribe Blood thicker than tap water [Verse 2] Uncle in the yard with the charcoal sermon (mm) Turning every scar into a sign Mama in the kitchen with the world still turning Humming little hymns out of time We don’t always say “I’m sorry” right Sometimes we just pass the salt But we’ll pack a car in the middle of the night If your heart hits asphalt [Chorus] My family My tribe Blood thicker than tap water Pull me through the fire Hotter than the day I caught her Staring back at me Same eyes Same stubborn honor My family My tribe Blood thicker than tap water [Bridge] We fight loud We forgive slow (oh) We break things we can’t afford to throw But when the world runs dry And I can’t breathe right You’re the well I know You’re the well I know [Chorus] My family My tribe Blood thicker than tap water Pull me through the fire Hotter than the day I caught her Staring back at me Same eyes Same stubborn honor My family My tribe Blood thicker than tap water

Smoky neo-soul groove with female vocals; dusty Rhodes chords, lazy bassline, tight rimshot kit. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, chorus blossoms with stacked harmonies and a subtle gospel-style organ swell. Mid-song lift with light guitar licks and a touch of reverb, then drop back to voice-and-keys for the final hook., female vocals, soul
