My Culture Lyrics

My Culture lyrics

Spoken: 

I'm the sub-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 ancestory 

Givin'me continuity 



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 grandfathers face 

In his resting place 

I made haste to learn and not waste 

everything my forefathers earned in tears 

For my culture 



Chorus: 



Fall back again 

Crawl from the warm 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 

Yeah, that's right 

My name Bob 

I'm the one 

Who landed the popstar's job 

I'm the one who 

You told look, don't touch 

I'm the kid 

Who wouldn't amount too much. 



I believe in the senses that I sound 

I have always been around 

Won't you help me drown it out? 

And When I feel 

What I'm feeling is so real 

I'm a massive of spinnin' wheels 

Always digging in my heels 

Now I got the faith to 



Fall back again 

Crawl from the warm water 

Water to air 

You're on your feet again 

Your feet again. 



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 grandfathers 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 warm water 

Water to air 

You're on your feet again 

Your feet again 

(For my culture) 



Fall back again 

Crawl from the warm water 

Water to air 

Your on your feet again 

Your feet again 

(For my culture)
