(Maxiâ€™s Jazz)

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 died
Vocalize things Iâ€™ve left unsaid
Left my spirit unfed for too long
Iâ€™m coming home to my family where I can be strong
Be who I plan to be within me my ancestry giving me continuity
Would it be remiss to continue in this way would you rather I quit
Come with that other shit making peopleâ€™s hips sway
Lip service I pay but Iâ€™m nervous
I pray for all the mothers who get no sleep
Like a lifeline I write rhymes â€˜cos my compassion is deep
For the people who fashioned me my soul to keep
And this is who I happen to be
And if I donâ€™t see that Iâ€™m strong then I wonâ€™t be

This is what my daddy told me
I wished heâ€™d â€˜a 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 grandfatherâ€™s 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 water,
Water to air,
Youâ€™re on youâ€™re feet againâ€¦.youâ€™re feet again

(Robbie Williams)

Hello dad â€“ remember me,
Iâ€™m the man you thought Iâ€™d never be
Iâ€™m the boy who you reduced to tears,
Dad I been lonely for 27 years
Yeah thatâ€™s right â€“ my names Rob,
Iâ€™m the one who landed the popstars job
Iâ€™m the one who you told look donâ€™t touch
Iâ€™m the kid who wouldnâ€™t amount to much
I believe in the senses sight and sound
I have always been too loud
Wonâ€™t you help me drown it out
Iâ€™m what I feel
And what Iâ€™m feeling is surreal
Iâ€™m a mass of spinning wheels
Always digging in my heels
â€¦now Iâ€™ve got the faith toâ€¦

(chorus)

(Maxi Jazz)

Lace up your boots weâ€™re going back to the roots
Speaking to my ghetto youths freak freaking for loot
And nice things better check what your future brings
Itâ€™s now and your forefathers for the know how
Go now into the world without hatred
Use your head
If the needle is wise be the thread
And weave ancestral wisdom yours by birth
Spreading the Lordâ€™s word over this broad earth

(Maxi
