Lyrics

[00:03.540] I'm the sum total of my ancestors
[00:06.980] I carry their DNA
[00:09.360] We are representatives of a long line of people
[00:13.170] And we carried them around either with
[00:15.670] This long line of people
[00:17.800] That goes back to the beginning of time
[00:20.360] And when we meet - they meet other lines of people
[00:24.230] And we say bring together the lines of me
[00:26.300] .
[01:28.140] When I look back over the years
[01:29.770] At the things that brought tears to my eyes
[01:31.710] Papa said we have to be wise
[01:33.520] To live long lives
[01:34.720] Now I recognise
[01:35.340] What father my said before he dies
[01:35.970]
[01:37.360] Vocalize things I've left unsaid
[01:39.229] Left my spirit unfed for too long
[01:41.300] I'm coming home to my family
[01:42.670] Where I can be strong
[01:43.860] Be who I planned to be
[01:45.590] Within me my ancestry
[01:46.830] Givin' me continuity
[01:48.509] .
[01:48.759] Would it be remiss to continue in this way
[01:51.80] Would you rather I quit
[01:52.259] Come with the other sh.it
[01:53.330] Making people's hips sway
[01:54.890] Lip service I pay but I'm nervous
[01:56.950] I pray for all the mothers who get no sleep
[01:59.890] Like a lifeline I light lines 'cause my compassion is deep
[02:02.510] For the people who fashioned me my soul to keep
[02:05.200] And this is who I happen to be
[02:07.200] And if I don't see that I'm strong than I won't be
[02:10.9] .
[02:10.509] This is what my Daddy told me
[02:12.140] I wished he would hold me
[02:13.510] A little more
[02:14.330] Than he did
[02:15.80] But he taught me my culture
[02:16.700] And how to live positive
[02:17.890] I never wanna shame
[02:18.950] The blood in my veins and bring pain
[02:21.450] to my sweet grandfather's face
[02:23.329] In his resting place
[02:24.700] I made haste to learn and not waste
[02:26.829] everything my forefathers earned in tears
[02:29.770] For my culture
[02:30.829] .
[02:31.640] Fall back again
[02:36.770] Crawl from the wa � water
[02:41.10] For my culture
[02:42.79] Water to air
[02:45.450] You're on your feet again
[02:48.700] Your feet again.
[02:51.140] .
[02:51.829] Hello Dad,
[02:52.770] Remember me?
[02:54.79] I'm the man you thought I'd never be.
[02:56.579] I'm the boy who you
[02:57.829] Reduced to tears
[02:59.200] Dad I'd been lonely for 27 years
[03:01.830] Yeah, that's right
[03:03.270] My name's Bob
[03:04.580] I'm the one
[03:05.390] Who landed the popstar's job
[03:07.140] I'm the one who
[03:08.390] You told look, don't touch
[03:09.820] I'm the kid
[03:10.580] Who wouldn't amount to much.
[03:12.200] .
[03:12.450] I believe in the senses, sight and sound
[03:15.890] I have always been too loud
[03:18.450] Won't you help me drown it out?
[03:21.950] I'm what I feel
[03:23.770] What I'm feeling is surreal
[03:25.950] I'm a mass of spinnin' wheels
[03:28.640] Always digging in my heels
[03:31.79] Now I got the faith to
[03:33.140] .
[03:33.579] Fall back again
[03:39.79] Crawl from the wa- water
[03:44.390] Water to air
[03:47.579] You're on your feet again
[03:50.950] Your feet again.
[03:54.210] .
[03:55.760] Lace up your boots we're going back to the roots
[03:59.20] Speaking to my ghetto youths freak freaking for loot
[04:01.520] And nice things, better check what your future brings
[04:03.760] It's now and your forefathers for the know-how
[04:06.450] Go now into the world without hatred
[04:08.580] Use your head
[04:09.710] If the needle is wise be the thread
[04:11.830] And weave ancestral wisdom, yours by birth
[04:14.330] Spreading the Lord's word over this broad earth
[04:16.829] .
[04:17.519] This is what my Daddy told me
[04:19.200] I wished he would hold me
[04:20.640] A little more
[04:21.329] Than he did
[04:22.200] But he told me my culture
[04:23.830] And how to live positive

[04:36.770] For my culture

[04:38.330] Fall back again
[04:43.950] Crawl from the water
[04:49.80] Water to air
[04:52.640] You're on your feet again
[04:55.700] Your feet again
[04:58.200] For my culture
[04:59.80] .
[04:59.640] Fall back again
[05:04.700] Crawl from the warm water
[05:10.80] Water to air
[05:13.330] You're on your feet again
[05:16.580] Your feet again
[05:18.890] For my culture
