|
Where did you come from? |
|
High in the sky, you're the sun |
|
I've been waiting for someone like you |
|
Where did you come from? |
|
I came from the wind, came from the seas/ |
|
Came from kings, came from queens/ |
|
Provided means to express what's seen/ |
|
I'm the hope that will gleam/ |
|
When things seem useless/ |
|
Futile, fruitless/ |
|
I'm hoping you can use this, the truth can be ruthless/ |
|
You're launching your attack, then you need some theme music/ |
|
Expressing your emotions in sync with the oceanic/ |
|
Tide -- believe but gonna grind, don't panic/ |
|
I could be frantic or maybe mellow and soothing/ |
|
No matter what tempo, with form I'm still moving/ |
|
I move Bob Marley and I moved Etta James/ |
|
Then they claim when the fire breaks out, I'm to blame/ |
|
Same people who raised hell in their youth/ |
|
Now they got all types of advice to tell you/ |
|
Do what you feel if your actions are real/ |
|
Then you shall find glory when the truth is revealed/ |
|
Just follow your call and when your visions are done/ |
|
Then wander ... |
|
Chorus: |
|
Where did you come from? |
|
High in the sky, you're the sun |
|
I've been waiting for someone like you |
|
Where did you come from? |
|
Where did I come from? Well it starts with the drum/ |
|
Enemies run once you hear my rhythm, you're done/ |
|
You shouldn't have come/ |
|
It shouldn't have spun us into bondage/ |
|
Forty acres and a mule, another broken promise/ |
|
We're working in the fields where you should pay us as farmers/ |
|
Make a compromise, well that's the way you Uncle Tom us/ |
|
Divide and conquer, on the road we grow stronger/ |
|
Every situation you create will make us thoughtful/ |
|
Freedom's what we long for/ |
|
Our pain and our soul/ |
|
All captured by a reel as our story is told/ |
|
So our future generations can express and unfold/ |
|
In modern societies as we're nearing our goals/ |
|
Emcees will be the vessel, as long as they don't aim/ |
|
The minds of our youth toward material gains/ |
|
If this starts to happen then you'll turn towards the captain/ |
|
That's where you'll find me checking in ready for action/ |
|
Solar generated, cultivated by the sun/ |
|
Just follow your call and when your missions are done/ |
|
Then wander ... |
|
Where did you come from? |
|
High in the sky, you're the sun |
|
I've been waiting for someone like you |
|
Where did you come from? |
|
Where did I come from? Sit back and just wonder/ |
|
Earth is my element -- lightning, thunder/ |
|
Grey skies signify the pain I been through/ |
|
You can see it in my eyes unleashed at every venue/ |
|
Messages I send you can cut like Tenchu/ |
|
Until you recognize your potential I won't let you/ |
|
Wander aimless, nameless, carrying the stainless/ |
|
Steel concealed, ****ing with crime to gain famous/ |
|
Low -- wanna race around the world, let's go/ |
|
No luggage though -- that anger that you carry let go/ |
|
I ran far, way past the prices in Bien Mur/ |
|
Through to the Mugabe where eternal sands are/ |
|
Gazed at the horizon and the future looked enticing/ |
|
So my only choice, lay out my path and keep grinding/ |
|
Wiling -- saying **** the critics, never compromising/ |
|
I'll push your eyes in if you're sleeping while I'm verbalizing/ |
|
Yes I do this out of love and for the fun/ |
|
Just follow your call and when your missions are done/ |
|
Then wander... |
