My Culture
I'm the sum total of my ancestors, I carry their DNA We are representatives of a long line of people And we carried them around either with This long line of people that goes back to the beginning of time And when we meet, they meet other lines of people And we say, 'Bring together the lines of me'
When I look back over the years At the things that brought tears To my eyes, papa said we have to be wise To live long lives
Now I recognize what my father said before he dies Vocalize things I've left unsaid Left my spirit unfed for too long I'm coming home to my family where I can be strong
Be who I planned to be Within me My ancestry Givin' me continuity
Would it be remiss to continue in this way? Would you rather I quit Come with the other shit? Making people's hips sway
Lip service I pay but I'm nervous I pray for all the mothers who get no sleep Like a lifeline I light lines 'cause my compassion is deep For the people who fashioned me my soul to keep
And this is who I happen to be And if I don't see that I'm strong then I won't be
This is what my Daddy told me I wished he would hold me A little more than he did But he taught me my culture
And how to live positive I never wanna shame The blood in my veins and bring pain To my sweet grandfather's face
In his resting place I made haste to learn and not waste Everything my forefathers earned in tears For my culture
Fall back again Crawl from the wa-water (For my culture) Water to air You're on your feet again Your feet again
Hello, dad, remember me? I'm the man you thought I'd never be I'm the boy who you reduced to tears Dad, I'd been lonely for 27 years
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Yeah, that's right, my name's Bob I'm the one who landed the pop star's job I'm the one who you told, 'Look, don't touch' I'm the kid who wouldn't amount to much
I believe In the senses, sight and sound I have always been too loud Won't you help me drown it out?
I'm what I feel What I'm feeling is surreal I'm a mass of spinnin' wheels Always diggin' in my heels Now I got the faith to
Fall back again Crawl from the wa-water Water to air You're on your feet again Your feet again
Lace up your boots, we're going back to the roots Speaking to my ghetto youths freak freaking for loot And nice things, better check what your future brings It's now and your forefathers for the know-how
Go now into the world without hatred Use your head if the needle is wise, be the thread And weave ancestral wisdom, yours by birth Spreading the Lord's word over this broad earth
This is what my Daddy told me I wished he would hold me A little more than he did But he told me my culture
And how to live positive I never wanna shame The blood in my veins and bring pain To my sweet grandfather's face
In his resting place I make haste to learn and not waste Everything my forefathers earned in tears For my culture
Fall back again Crawl from the wa-water Water to air You're on your feet again Your feet again (For my culture)
Fall back again Crawl from the wa-water Water to air You're on your feet again Your feet again (For my culture)
