What Did You Do — Crime Series Part 1: Bloodline

[Verse 1] We grew up poor, but one thing always held true Family meant everything, and trust in all we’d do Grandfather was firm but honest, taught us all the ropes I learned that family comes first, it’s how we live and cope [Verse 2] I knew early on what our bloodline had done for generations It wasn’t taken lightly, we learned the rules and expectations We didn't kill for pleasure, we killed only to protect our own We were careful and respectful, even with the dead we'd shown [Verse 3] I remember one Sunday morning, I was called out to the stable Grandfather and Father were waiting, asking, “Are you ready? Are you able?” I smiled, knowing that the day had finally come I asked, “What did this man do? What wrong has he done?” [Verse 4] “Stealing from the garden, killing livestock, that's enough You know what that means to us, we've given him enough” I raised that hammer once, then twice, then many more Until he made no sound, and his breathing was no more I turned and looked at Grandfather, then Father standing there I asked them how I did, expecting judgment, maybe fear They smiled and said, “My daughter, we couldn't ask for more” And I knew that I had opened up a door that couldn't close anymore [Chorus] This fabric of death was woven into our blood Passed down through generations, like a river in the mud No man or woman could ever break our legacy One day I'd pass it to my children Just as it was passed to me [Outro] I didn't know what life would bring Or who I'd one day call my own But I knew one thing would never change— Family comes first. And when the time came I'd make sure my children knew Exactly what our bloodline meant And exactly what we had to do.
