SPIRIT pt. II

I come from a generation of fighters Fighting for a future of peace abroad Searching for a home yearning for the years When love don't struggle for food and warmth I come from the faith strong, wide-eyed Strong-hearted, God-fearing, God-preaching And now I speak in tongues, not of my mother But of another as the other, see the problem It's the sound of the monsoon, this beat 'bout to fill the room This storm is going to come through, I'm growing up My past got me thinking 'bout what it is, why it is Man, I'm just tryna settle my business You'd think that the boy from the migrant family Would've grown up the family tree but But I grew in a place where my face Not one of a million, but one in a million I set fire, it's premeditated I'm soul-searching, I be contemplating I speak through the beat, to my craft I'm dedicated My spirit gotta fly, it need elevating Mmm I need your spirit to come through I need your spirit to come through I come from A bloodline of incredible devotion Mama, papa always holding it down, I'm blessed Through the years seen love, seen death it's hard to move with strength, but God, I keep trying my best When I went to the homeland, you bet I don't understand A word that my aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, grandparents Neighbours, shopkeepers, TV speakers, country leaders Man, ain't no English that's in demand, f*ck This my plight In one world I speak fact, in one world I'm held back Can't help that I'm washed white, can't say I don't act right What this country did to me, yeah it's fucked my identity, so Took a year to reflect, spent my days working Back of arcade and the retail trade, I felt lost Ain't no time for doubt Three years, kept my head down, I'm graduating, we space bound I carried on, you know I found love I let my soul speak, lyrics from above I'm from overseas, and I'm from the West Walking down my path, ain't got no time to rest Mmm I need your spirit to come through I need your spirit to come through The first few months of our arrival was a cultural shock It was a big change We had experienced some difficulties in moving The culture was different, the language and the accent was different We had to adjust A success for the sacrifices we endured Thank God for that Yeah, I'm still growing, I'm still learning Not even halfway, my spirit is still yearning Keep on moving on I got God with me Y'all can't get rid of me I'm keeping company Mmm I need your spirit to come through I need your spirit to come through Mmm I need your spirit to come through I need your spirit to come through
