Our days of comfort, days of night
|
Don't put yourself in solitude
|
Who can I trust with my life
|
When people tend to be so rude
|
|
My mama borned me in a ghetto
|
There was no mattress for my head
|
But, no, she couldn't call me Jesus
|
I wasn't white enough, she said
|
|
And then she named me, Kung Fu
|
Don't have to explain it, no, Kung Fu
|
Don't know how you'll take it, Kung Fu
|
I'm just trying to make it, Kung Fu
|
|
I've got some babys and some sisters
|
My brother worked for Uncle Sam
|
It's just a shame, ain't it, Mister
|
We being brothers of the damned
|
|
Keep your head high, Kung Fu
|
I will 'til I die, yeah, Kung Fu
|
Don't be too intense, no, Kung Fu
|
Keep your common sense, yeah, Kung Fu
|
|
Don't mistake life for a secret
|
There is no secret part of you
|
You bet your life if you think wicked
|
Someone else is thinking wicked too
|
|
My mama borned me in a ghetto
|
There was no mattress for my head
|
But, no, she couldn't name me Jesus
|
I wasn't white enough, she said
|
|
And then she named me, Kung Fu
|
Don't have to explain it, no, Kung Fu
|
Don't know how you'll take it, Kung Fu
|
I'm just trying to make it, Kung Fu
