  • I've been to the mountain top
    I've been to the valley low
    The one thing that never stopped
    Was the love that my family showed
    When my mama she passed away
    My papa he gave us hope
    He said there won't ever come a day
    When your family won't help you cope

    As sure as Moses' staff parted the water
    As sure as Cain had to pay four his crime
    As sure as no one wants to be brokenhearted
    That's how sure I am that blood is thicker than time

    Well
    We went to church on Sunday mornin' (Oh yeah)
    All dressed up lookin' mighty fine
    The spirit came without a warning
    Intoxicated us all like wine
    Don't it make you stop and wonder
    Why we kill our own kind every day?
    Why can't we get along with each other
    When we damn well know it's the only way?

    As sure as Moses' staff parted the water
    As sure as Cain had to pay four his crime
    As sure as no one wants to be brokenhearted
    That's how sure I am that blood is thicker than time
    (That's how sure I am, oh yeah, blood is thicker than time)

    Don't it make you stop and wonder
    Why we kill our own kind every day?
    Why can't we get along with each other
    When we damn well know it's the only way?

    As sure as Moses' staff parted the water
    As sure as Cain had to pay four his crime (Uh-huh)
    As sure as no one wants to be brokenhearted
    That's how sure I am that blood is thicker than time

    That's how sure I am blood is thicker than time Writer/s: PRINCE ROGERS NELSON
