My Culture |
| When I look back over the years at the |
| Things that bring tears to my eyes |
| Poppa said we had to be wise to live long lives |
| Now I recognise what my father said before he died |
| Vocalised things I left unsaid |
| Left my spirit unfed for too long |
| I’m coming home to my family where I can be strong |
| For you I plan to be Within me, my ancestry, giving me continuity |
| This is what my daddy told me I wish 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 grandfather’s face |
| In his resting place |
| I’ll make haste to learn and not waste |
| Everything my forefathers earned in tears |
| For my culture |
| Fall back again |
| Crawl from the warm waters |
| Don’t ever forget |
| You’re on your feet again |
| Your feet again |
| Hello Dad remember me |
| I’m the man you’d thought I’d never be |
| I’m the boy who you reduced to tears |
| Dad I’ve been lonely for 27 years |
| Yeah that’s right my name’s 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 to much |
| I believe in the senses of the sound |
| I have always been too loud |
| Won’t you help me drown it out |
| I’m what I feel, what I’m feeling is surreal |
| I’m a mass of spinning wheels |
| Always digging in my heels |
| Now I’ve got the faith to Fall back again |
| Crawl from the warm waters |
| Don’t ever forget |
| You’re on your feet again |
| Your feet again |
| This is what my daddy told me I wish 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 grandfather’s face |
| In his resting place |
| I’ll make haste to learn and not waste |
| Everything my forefathers earned in tears |
| For my culture |
| Fall back again |
| Crawl from the warm waters |
| Don’t ever forget |
| You’re on your feet again |
| Your feet again |
| (For my culture) |
| Fall back again |
| Crawl from the warm waters |
| Don’t ever forget |
| You’re on your feet again |
| Your feet again |
| (For my culture) |
