Like home all at the same time. To sit and meditate or to prepare you for conquering the day. I’ve loved listening to Inez since the first time I saw her perform.

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 02:54
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 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

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 sisters To my brothers it's the same We got this spirit We got no reason to be afraid And It's easy Cause it's the birthright to your name Claim your fame Claim your fame It's the birthright to your name Sonje Sonje Sonje zansyet yo (remember the ancestors) Build up your arms young There's a gift to be lifted from Up off the ground to Reveal the mystics to you Your whole story To my sisters To my brothers it's the same We got this spirit We got no reason to be afraid And It's easy Cause it's the birthright to your name Claim your fame Claim your fame It's the birthright to your name
