Lyrics

Do you know where we came from?
Do you know what we had to get away from?
Do you know where this pain from?
Them boats we row wasn't vacation
Do you know why we work hard?
You see the cashier who just paid for your order
Do you see why she grieving?
Kids hungry for a meal, pulling doubles just to feed 'em
Do you know why he tearing?
Turban on his head and you see him as a demon
Do you know why we do this?
Have you felt a mother's pain?
Do you taste it in the food?
You take it with you to school
It smells, it kill the mood
You might as well be rude but you know you ain't a fool
'Cause this shit bussin'
Cool kids thinking you dusty
They not from third world country
On a mission to show 'em something they can't see
Brown and black magic the only thing that enchant me
It's a miracle I'm here so I'm flashy
Bunch of bad man, Benz parked on Delancey, uh
Came a long way from a Camry, uh
More than salt and pepper in the pantry, uh
We gon' be everything that you can't be, uh
I know these foreigners understand me
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, woah
Ayy, look how far we've come
Look how much we've done
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, woah
Ayy, look who we've become
We've only just begun
Yeah, I know where I came from
Yeah, I know what I had to get away from
How we find dedication
When genocide last generations
Yeah, I know separation
Your father at work so long he ain't raise ya
You see him on occasion
And he couldn't show love, now it's what you run away from
Yeah, I know what I'm made of
Since nine I've been the translator
My parents were unable
Don't you worry, I got it
You know I'ma keep it honest
We gon' talk about our image
The poor and the privileged
The eat, pray, love and don't love our village
Born with gorillas, we not around vultures
They couldn't understand my culture
I've been in America, carry it like a holster
This for every mother who couldn't afford Folgers
Every single brother who putting it on his shoulders
Ain't nothing in this world that could fold us
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, woah
Ayy, look how far we've come
Look how much we've done
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, woah
Ayy, look who we've become
We've only just begun
Woah, woah
Ayy, look how far we've come
Woah, woah
Ayy, look who we've become
Woah, woah, yeah
