Family Full Of Soul

[Verse 1]

Papa Johnny find glass, giving eggs away

In a state of depression now, he'll put hens to lay

Mama cried when my papa spent all the rent money on a ring

He lives for today

Makes me happy just to say

[Chorus]

Got what you need and now I know where I got it from

Family full of soul and that's how I know where I got it from

Got what you need and now I know where I got it from

Family full of soul and that's how I know where I got it from

[Verse 2]

Uncle owned a store, ate black-eyed peas every day

'Til he hit the big time, y'all, then he moved away

Now he longs for summer in the city of little Jollyville

He lives for today

Makes me happy just to say

[Chorus]

Got what you need and now I know where I got it from

Family full of soul, and that's how I know where I got it from

Got what you need and now I know where I got it from

Family full of soul, and that's how I know where I got it from

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

When I think about my life, how I live today

I wonder if I can go on singin' my blues this way

Papa Johnny told me, "Girl, you know you got to sing the blues"

He lives for today

Makes me happy just to say

[Chorus]

Got what you need and now I know where I got it from

Family full of soul, and that's how I know where I got it from

Got what you need and now I know where I got it from

Family full of soul, and that's how I know where I got it from
