Somebody's Daughter

It's in my blood
It's in my blood

A game of nothing
You don't get to pick and choose
Instead of making assumptions, take a long walk in my shoes
We are looking for something, oh
I will take it, win or lose
It's up to you to hold you down

You are not your best decision
You are not your worst mistake
You do not fit the description
Don't let society keep you away

They cannot cancel redemption
Tomorrow's another today
You do not owe them attention
And nobody else has a say

There is something in the water
There is something in the blood
I am just somebody's daughter
I am so misunderstood
And it's so up to the other
When they say it's for my good
And I got it from my father, oh-oh
It's in my blood
It's in my blood, oh-oh

It's in my blood, oh-oh
It's in my blood, oh-oh
It's in my blood, oh-oh

Waking up in the morning
Seeing the mirror, that's on you
They make a thousand assumptions
They can't make one lie be true

I am done running from nothing
I don't got nothing to prove
There's too beautiful left to do

There is something in the water
There is something in the blood
I am just somebody's daughter
I am so misunderstood
And it's so up to the other
When they say it's for my good
And I got it from my father, oh-oh
It's in my blood
It's in my—

It's in my blood
It's in my blood
It's in my blood
It's in my blood
It's in my blood
It's in my blood
It's in my blood
It's in my blood
It's in my blood
It's in my blood
It's in my blood
It's in my blood
It's in my—

And when I looked at you and said: Oh honey, don't, don't do that
Don't go play music, 'cause you grew up around a guitar player, you
I don't want you to eat soup, beans, and cornbread for the rest of your life
And you, and you looked at me and you said: I like soup, beans, and cornbread just fine
It, it sort of humbled me at that point, you know
Because I heard my own words through you that I said to my father spoke back to me
It, it, it really did, it sort of, I went: Oh hell
She's just like I was, you know
Which sort of troubled me in a way because I was sort of disjointed and confused at that time in my life
But I went on with what I wanted to do and was able to live on it
And, you know, I feared that everything would be wrong for you
So, you know, when I see you doing so well
It, it does nothing but fill my heart up with joy
And I always tell my friends about it and I, I go
She, she proved me wrong, and I'm so grateful for it
