Soulive - Bridge To 'Bama lyrics

Here I am, soul Yo, step out on the block to face the sun Creep the people in the village that raised my son As far as days go this look like an amazing one I feel more normal in the summer the same as the Yankees won It's like, of course, what you expect less The night about to kick off folks is out in their best dress Pimps and who*es rising on the horizon Ballers copping more diamonds Watch the ferrions looking towards Zion What's embedded in the hardest head It's the epic lie to me and debt it To a country that gives us no credit So cats stealing money cash hoes 'cuz that's what's expected With the bill when the original architect is comedic Mummies return so the dummies can learn Just how much Hollywood got to burn Of our money that's hard earned But that ain't really my concern As I walk the block as soon as the sun goes down It starts to get hot, scorching Bridge to 'Bama Bring your wife, bring your brother, bring your kid to mama She sh**s bananas The way we paint pictures in a vivid manner Bridge to 'Bama Bring your wife, bring your brother, bring your kid to mama She sh**s bananas The way we paint pictures in a vivid manner, yeah Magnetic like refrigerator poetry Attract imitators who wanna flow like me You know it's me, floating free through the ghetto where the People supposedly ain't trying to show no love openly Give me your hand, yeah Trying to build a bridge so we can stay the course Hi-tek lay the track for the train that thought to run across Come across places where faces got tracks of tears 'Cuz the human race been running upon their backs for years, yeah But they don't break They keep it moving like when I travel the land And people, other people do it how other people go through it down Bridging the gap like the Black Eyed Peas Loving, giving it back, to see them raise up Living for that to keep trying means to keep failing But if you don't keep trying that means to keep dying What the hell, we gonna die anyway Keep your soul live when you're here is what I'm trying to say Bridge to 'Bama Bring your wife, bring your brother, bring your kid to mama She sh**s bananas The way we paint pictures in a vivid manner Bridge to 'Bama Bring your wife, bring your brother, bring your kid to mama She sh**s bananas The way we paint pictures in a vivid manner, yeah Come on, yeah, yeah Break it down like Come on, yeah, yeah Come on, yeah [Incomprehensible] hi-tek, yeah Soul live, this how we do it, right We keep it moving like This hip-hop like Jazz music like Everybody wants to rock Everybody rock me like Everybody in the spot Brooklyn to Nomadic life Yo, for the babies and It's for you and It's for me and, it's for us and Break it down like
