[Bambu, Kiwi, Blue Scholars - Home Cooked lyrics]
It's been a minute since I last
Felt you under my feet
Last felt them 8 rays of your sun my cheek
When we first met I really
Had to struggle to speak
Now I hunger for you like I
Ain't had nothing to eat
It's something that's deep within me
The legends and the history
The trivia the mystery of this story of ours
The story of wars
We travel on a road full of scars
Late night, all alone with you
I notice the stars
Far away from the city in a secret location
The spirit in the air that
Burn the whole nation
But we diss you from the start
Your heart was forsaken
I'm here to rectify that, we done waiting
In fact
I'm compensating for them days that we lost
Hoping for the very moment that
I make it across back in your arms
The only place I feel I belong
With a million folks behind
Me all singing along
You so fly to me
You and I should be just you and I but I
Know I'm just being greedy, can you blame?
With ya "8 rays, sun on my cheek"
It's been a minute since I seen my sister
LuzViMinda used to love her now I miss her
She the reason my fist is steady closed
With the memory of those that we abandoned
And I know she got my back
She delivered me a champion
And I tell 'em 'bout his auntie in the east
While we hungry in the beast
Our history, the teachers never teach
Until we reaching for the notion
Of a nation from each
According to ability to each
According to they need
I'm writing, recording and performing a feed
Both my hunger to succeed but even more seed
And even more for the people
Who need to breathe easy
But they can't seem to put down
The yosies and the beedies
And they say cause I lost my
Native tongue that I forgot you
My heart still pumps the
Blood of Datu Lapu-Lapu when I got you
And truthfully I could I not without you
When the children in the belly barely
Know a thing about you
You so fly to me you and I should be
Just you and I but I
Know I'm just being greedy, can you blame?
Just "breathe easy" "Know she got my back"
It's been a minute and a half
Since we last touched hands
And that's a lot longer than
Your man originally planned
I like to think that I stand
With you attached to my back
I like to think I bring you with
Me when I get on a track matter of fact
Let me take this time to thank you out loud
For birthing my brother Kiwi and
Geologic in Sea Town
Such style, such grace, such a marvelous face
M-m-m-m, I love everything you
Put on my plate i think of you when I get
Used to being farther from home
I think of you when I feel
Like I can't fight no more
You the reason I'm even alive and
If I've neglected you I'm sorry
But, I've become one with my gun since
The last time you saw me
I get it now, I know why you like them kinds
Them guerrilla type folks
Them rebellious types
So I've joined that team
Now I'm on that street
With thousands of your kids marching with
Hopes to get you free i see you in my sleep
And keep a piece of you in my heart
And I promise
And ain't no ocean that could keep us apart
Felt you under my feet
Last felt them 8 rays of your sun my cheek
When we first met I really
Had to struggle to speak
Now I hunger for you like I
Ain't had nothing to eat
It's something that's deep within me
The legends and the history
The trivia the mystery of this story of ours
The story of wars
We travel on a road full of scars
