Paroles Faithless My Culture lyrics

I'm the sum total of my ancestors

I carry their DNA

We are representatives of a long line of people

And we cart them around everywhere

This long line of people

That goes back to the beginning of time

And when we meet - they meet other lines of people

And we say bring together the lines of me.



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 died

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 ancestry

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 write 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 won't 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



Fall back again

Crawl from the warm water



for my culture



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've been lonely for 27 years

Yeah, that's right my name's Rob

I'm the one who landed the popstars 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 sense of sight and sound

I have always been too loud

wont you help me drown it out?

I'm what I feel

what I'm feeling is surreal

I'm a mess of 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.



Hah, lace up your boots

Going back to your roots continue my interlude

Freak 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 birth

spreading the lords word over this broad earth



This is what my Daddy told me

I wished he would hold me

A little more

than he did

But he told 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



Fall back again

Crawl from the warm water

Water to air

You're on your feet again

Your feet again

Fall back again

Crawl from the warm water

Water to air

You're on your feet again

Your feet again



For my culture.
