1 Giant Leap - Braided Hair lyrics

rate me

Yo we was talking earlier and I was telling you talking bout life<br />

I feel like life is like braided hair<br />

Its sorta like twist you know<br />

Bout braided hair like twist<br />

You know three strands twist together<br />

Ultimately you get to where you wanna get to<br />

<br />

From the same dirt from the heels of my ancestors<br />

The naked roads and the fields where the pain festered<br />

And I wonder where the hold came from<br />

In the deeps of my heart make me yearn for the drum<br />

It's the same place where the cross is burned<br />

The same place where the loss was earned<br />

It's the place where the floss was yearned<br />

Gold teeth and bling ice on the ring baby sure<br />

<br />

We've all got things that hang at the back<br />

Things that make us cool,<br />

Things that make us whack,<br />

Things that make us mad<br />

Things we wish we never had done<br />

But they're just the things that make us real<br />

Not the maps to guide where we go from here<br />

The road twists and braids our hair<br />

Until we all get there<br />

<br />

I like that I don't know some mysteries<br />

Ancient things and beginnings<br />

Excited about the day when I don't have to hear all the theories<br />

My scalp needs some grease<br />

It's the same place where the crosses burned<br />

The same place where the loss was earned<br />

The only way we all can learn<br />

Is if we have these braids with the twist and turns so<br />

<br />

Walking in the race of life<br />

Looking for my own pace<br />

Not always wanting to but I have to<br />

Sometimes feeling like I've bitten off much more than I could chew<br />

But the wind goes though my hair<br />

Lifts me up with ease not a crease<br />

Hair full of grease no weave embracing me<br />

It's you I see<br />

I am you and you are me I see yeah<br />

I am you and you are me I see<br />

<br />

We might survive as brothers ye
