M'Damou (I'm in Love)

Emotion
First word that comes to mind
Do you know what
Loving you really feels like?
The ocean
On a full moon kind of night
And softly
Still as low tide
Release me
Through everything I tried to hide
You see me
Straight through my disguise
M'Damou
They say
These things never gonna last
I say
Let me just take the path
For them
Love isn't worth the risk
But I am
Ready for all of it
Emotion
First word that comes to mind
Do you know what
Loving you really feels like?
M'Damou
To get along
To get along I know we'll find away
To get on
In your hands I know that I am safe
To move on
To move on to higher ground
Let's build our vision now
Build our vision now
M'Damou

Bourgeois

Humble beginnings
Check to check
And to the t
Isn't fitting
For the greatest people in history
Oh the blue collar
Working hard and underpaid
New Money
Walking high on phony pride
Isn't funny how much can change with dollar signs
A polished hustler
Claim that they can make me
And the bourgeois said to me now
We will get all the riches for ya
And easily I would dance like a dog for me
They were bothered when they found out that a dollar cage me
We don't jump from the bourgeois
We don't jump from the bourgeoisie
And the bourgeois said to me now
And easily I would bathe in pools of green
And easily I would bathe in pools of green
And easily I would bathe in pools of green
They were bothered when they found out that a dollar wash me

Mama Is A Rock

Mama is rock wombman
Ma is a Rock
Mama is a rock wombman
Work til her ankles ache
To feed every baby
That came from her sacred cave
Working a double
Working a double
For nothing just to buy some bread
That and peanut butter is gonna keep them babies fed
She says
If they need something
I have to provide it
I have to provide it yes
If they need something
You know I have to provide it
This is how I provide it
Mama is a rock wombman
Mama is a rock wombman
She'll be working until she can't
Money can be clean or dirty
Just as long the money's good to spend
She gives her all
And her all all the time
Mama will sacrifice
Never giving up
No the wombman is far too tough
She says
If they need something
I have to provide it
I have to provide it yes
If they need something
You know I have to provide it
This is how I provide it
Mama is rock wombman
Mama rubbing her feet
Oh how the days are long
But she will not stop
Even if the work is hard
Cause mama is a rock
Mama is a rock
Mama keeps rolling
Mama is a rolling rock
Mama Africa
Mama is a rock
Mama keeps rolling
Mama is a rolling rock
Mama Ayiti (Haiti)
Mama is a rock
Mama keeps rolling
Mama is a rolling rock

Where is my home?
03:13

Kote La kay mwen
Nan tout koze
Nan ki lang mama'm pale
Kote ki nom
Nan gwo listwa
Pep la pase banm mwen
Kote Ayiti a
Li nan memwa yo
Ke merite depi'm tou li petit
Isit la se kay mwen
Mwen se Miami
Kote yo dim yo ka vin yon moun
Me tan zan tan
Yo tout ap chanje
Epi se yon ti morso tou pitit
Nap ekri ak san lame
Paske kone listwa pakab pab
Pa janm rekonte
Pa janm rekonte
Where is my home?
In the stories
In the language that my mother speaks
Where is my home?
In the history
That my people passed over to me
Where is Ayiti
In a memory
That I carry from when I was young
Here is my home
In Miami
Where they said I can be someone
But the times
They are changing
And there is little that we truly own
We are writing in sand
Knowing our stories may never be told
So we get up and GO.

To my brothers it's the same

Up off the ground to

And It's easy
Cause it's the birthright to your name
