[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 |

[03:50.950] | 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] | . |
