We at the family reunion, tellin' jokes and playin' spades
Uncle Dave is on the barbeque grill
Grandma braggin 'bout the blanket she made
For the new baby on her way
Even though the daddy ain't really ready
This child is coming...anyway, yeah
Niecie made her famous potato salad, somehow it turns out green
Maybe its all the scallions, could be the celery
But ol, Uncle Jerome loves it (Hmm)
Hey baby baby, here comes my favorite...my favorite cousin
He says he's doing fine, takin'it one step a day but in my heart I know it ain't that way
Chorus
whoa whoa-o-whoa whoa-o-whoa whoa-o-whoa
What can you say...its family
and whoa whoa-o-whoa whoa-o-whoa whoa-o-whoa
What can you say...its family
Aunt Juicy been drinkin' again...ooh its only 1:30 in the afternoon
Everybody tip-toeing 'round her, we all know she gonna be tore up soon
Saying all the things we like to say, hope she gets around to Cousin Lonnie
Cause We all know he got a little extra somebody on the side (But)
Chorus
Oh shit, Damn Mickey and Steven are fighting again
Move out the way, somebody might get hurt
Aw Look at that what happen is worst
They knocked over Helenora's Lemon Cake (Emm)
You know the one she barely ever makes
I'm gettin riled up, I want them to go
But Somebody turn Frankie Beverly on the stereo
Cousin Ruby starts rockin', shaking her good hip and bobbin
So we all fall into place, smiling and laughing

Review about Family Reunion THIS IS WHAT REAL FAMILY'S ABOUT | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/10/2008
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS SONG. NO ONE COULD HAVE SANG IT BETTER. THIS IS HOW I WANT MY FAMILY TO BE. IT'S REALLY UNFORTUNATE THAT FAMILY IS NO LONGER LIKE THIS. EVERY ONE HAS THEIR PROBLEMS/ISSUES BUT INSTEAD OF BEING SUPPORTIVE NO MATTER WHAT, WE NOW JUDGE AND CRITIZE EACH OTHER. WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT FAMILY IS FAMILY NO MATTER WHAT. THANKS SO MUCH JILL FOR THIS SONG.
When I first watch the Movie "Family Reunion" and heard that song it really hit home. I love the lyrics and most of all I love the beat. Thanks Jill Scott for a well put together song.

I first heard this song on the soundtrack for Something New, the scene at the Cotillion - it moved me. The music and the lyrics are so family - I love it and I love Jill's work.
I really don't respond to too many songs, but Jill put her foot in this one and hit home for me. The first day I heard this song I happened to be at a reunion for some other family, thinking of how much I miss my own and it made my day.
Thanks

Thanks Jill for really relating this song with everyday family. It is very inspirational and empowering. It just goes to show how much the little things mean and the difference it can make.
This song made me very nostalgic. I remember the days when my family celebrated holidays. With death, drugs, relocation, and people just acting shady I have this no more. This is definately a feel good song for me. Thank you, Jill.
