the television premiere of ‘family tree,' out now. The deeply personal track
serves as an ode of gratitude to his parents and grandparents for laying the
groundwork for him to be the man he is today – working through hardship
and leading by example.
“This is a story honoring my family,” shares Dante. “it gives insight into who
we are and what we've been through. We all have moments of struggle and
moments of success, but family is what brings it together. I'm able to stand
here today on their shoulders, and I am grateful for their experiences which
have made me a better man.”
‘family tree' is the second single to be released from Dante's sophomore
album and label debut, circles. It follows the breakout single ‘joyful' which
debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard charts, making it the highest solo charting
debut of Dante's career.

Dante Bowe – Family Tree Lyrics
Momma, you'll be so proud of me
Look how far we've come
Never once did you not believe
You knew it all along
Daddy, you made a man of me
I am my father's son
The rights, the wrongs, the in-between's
Help me know for sure
Things do get better
And they lied, they lied, they lied
When they said it don't
Things do get better
And they lied, they lied, they lied
When they said it won't
God in heaven knows
Where there's dark, there's light
Where there's wrong, there's right
Ooh I know that things get better
For the lows, there's highs
For the blind, there's sight
Ooh I know that things get better
Brother, brother can you believe
Back when we were young
This was only but a dream
Now, we've just begun
Boy, I wish papa could see
The person I've become
I'm standing on the family tree
I hope he hears this song
Ooh, ooh
I know that it gets better
Ooh, ooh, Oh, whoa, yeah, yeah
Get better, I know it gets better
I know it gets better
Better, better, better, better, better
Momma, you'll be so proud of me
Look how far we've come
Never once did you not believe
You knew it all along
Daddy, you made a man of me
I am my father's son
The rights, the wrongs, the in-between's
Help me know for sure
Things do get better
And they lied, they lied, they lied
When they said it don't
Things do get better
And they lied, they lied, they lied
When they said it won't
God in heaven knows
Where there's dark, there's light
Where there's wrong, there's right
Ooh I know that things get better
For the lows, there's highs
For the blind, there's sight
Ooh I know that things get better
Brother, brother can you believe
Back when we were young
This was only but a dream
Now, we've just begun
Boy, I wish papa could see
The person I've become
I'm standing on the family tree
I hope he hears this song
Ooh, ooh
I know that it gets better
Ooh, ooh, Oh, whoa, yeah, yeah
Get better, I know it gets better
I know it gets better
Better, better, better, better, better
