A Celebration |
| We celebrate a week long |
| Gonna get our eat on |
| Many things we’ll speak on, elevate minds |
| And spirits is the reason |
| That we gotta keep on |
| ‘Cause ‘tis season to congregate. |
| Shine! |
| Headed to my man crib |
| Where the whole fam is |
| Together we banded since the days of old |
| Families expanded |
| Gave our parents grandkids |
| Unified we’re standing reaching our goals |
| Elders, children |
| My peers in the building |
| To those no longer living we say ashe |
| Pouring libations |
| Peaceful faces |
| Soulful vibrations made my day |
| Talk of better tomorrows |
| Life with less sorrow |
| A place where all folks value our lives |
| Fam and my next of kin |
| Chillin', no flexin' |
| Counting our blessings, watching our wives… do the same |
| It’s all about (Family) |
| It’s all about (Community) |
| It’s all about (Culture) |
| It’s all about (Life) |
| We celebrate (Family) |
| We celebrate (Community) |
| We celebrate (Culture) |
| We celebrate (Life) |
| Strengthening our bond as we thank the divine |
| Moving our people forward a day at a time |
| Speaking to our problems, making time to listen |
| Commemorate our past, restoring our traditions |
| While creating new ones… for instance |
| To my daughter Kwanzaa’s as normal Christmas |
| Gotta give her more if her future’s to be brighter |
| That’s my true duty as her father & provider |
| See her with her friends taking pride in her history |
| So overjoyed like witnessessing victory |
| Seeds making crafts while we chat ‘bout progress |
| You’d be hard pressed to hear us spatting out nonsense |
| Watching candles burn as we countdown the days |
| Greeting you with peace followed by the phrase… |
| «Habari gani?» |
| Depending on the day |
| One of these 7 principles is what you would say |
| Follow me now. |
| Umoja, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa |
| Nia, Kuumba, Imani x2 |
| It’s all about (Family) |
| It’s all about (Community) |
| It’s all about (Culture) |
| It’s all about (Life) |
| We celebrate (Family) |
| We celebrate (Community) |
| We celebrate (Culture) |
| We celebrate (Life) |
| I know when times get hard |
| We put all our faith is God |
| You still gotta elevate with me |
| Still gotta celebrate with me |
| ‘Cause until we work as one |
| You know our work’s far from done |
| You know you gotta elevate with me |
| You know you betta celebrate with me |
| We see that times are bad |
| And it’s got us fighting mad |
| I need you to elevate with me |
| Really need you to celebrate with me |
| Stand up and lets rise |
| Open up your mind and eyes |
| So you can elevate with me |
| I want you celebrate with me |
| It’s all about (Family) |
| (Community) |
| (Culture) |
| (Life) |
| (Family) |
| (Community) |
| (Culture) |
| (Life) |
| We celebrate (Family) |
| (Community) |
| (Culture) |
| (Life) |
| (Family) |
| (Community) |
| (Culture) |
| (Life) |
