My Culture - 1 Giant Leap

Maxi 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 recognise 
what my father said before he dies 
vocalise things I've left unsaid 
left my spirit unfed for too long 
I´m coming home to my family 
Where i can be strong 
Be who I planned to be 
Within me my ancestory 
Givin´me continuity 
Would it be remiss to continue in this way 
would you rather I quit 
come with the other shit 
making people's hips sway 
lip service I pay but i´m nervous 
i pray for all the mothers who get no sleep 
like a lifeline I light lines cause 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 don´t see that I´m strong then I wont be 
This is what my Daddy told me 
I wished 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 grandfathers face 
in his resting place 
I make haste to learn and not waste 
everything my forefathers earned in tears 
for my culture 

Robbie: 
Fall back again 
Crawl from the warm water 

Maxi Jazz: 
for my culture 

Robbie: 
water to air 
you´re on your feet again 
your feet again. 
Hello Dad, remember me? 
I´m the man you thought I´d never be. 
I´m the boy who you reduced to tears 
Dad I´d been lonely for 27 years 
Yeah, that´s right my name´s Bob 
I´m the one who landed the popstars job 
I´m the one who you told : look, don´t touch? 
and the kid who wouldn't amount to much. 
I believe in the senses out of sound 
I have always been too loud 
wont you help me drown it out? 
I´m what I feel 
and what I´m feeling is surreal 
I´m a massive spinnin´ wheel s´always digging in my heels. 
Now I got the faith to Fall back again 
Crawl from the warm water 
water to air 
you´re on your feet again 
your feet again. 
Maxi Jazz: 
Hah, lace up your booty 
Going back to the roots continue my interlude 
Feed freaking for loot 
And my spell´s been to check what your future brings is now 
and your forefathers further know How 
but now what happened to the world without the hatred 
Use your head if the needle is wise be the thread 
And weave ancestral wisdom yours by best 
spreading the lords word over this broad earth
