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 Rob 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)
