Yo, what's the meaning of life?
|
Yo, somebody please tell me..
|
What's the meaning of life?
|
Yo, somebody gots to help me
|
Yo, what's the meaning of life?
|
Yo, somebody please tell me..
|
|
[Frukwan]
|
I look inside the mirror and look in myself, I'm hopin' for help
|
Everyday I'm hopin' for a brand new strife
|
The shores of North America, I'm bound to survive
|
Though I'm not the same, yo I carry a gift
|
Tricked and sold his cargo on the bowels of ships
|
But yo, I got my pride, tighten up my stand
|
Lookin' at the stars, the original man..
|
Never thought that it would ever come to this
|
Migrate really wasn't a time when life was great
|
I wanna go home to the Bering Straights
|
A place where I know where my kid's is safe
|
Thoughts of runnin' foul like a rampant disease
|
Yet, my skin tone really couldn't bring the ease
|
Gettin' weaker by the day, months and years
|
Thousands of years we reign, but now I shed a tear
|
|
[Chorus: Frukwan]
|
Yo, what's the meaning of life?
|
Yo, somebody please tell me..
|
What's the meaning of life?
|
Yo, somebody gots to help me
|
Yo, what's the meaning of life?
|
Yo, but do you know?
|
|
[Frukwan]
|
Inhale and exhale the breath of mist
|
Each and every day a new way to exist
|
Don't wanna use a gun, shoot drugs and dope
|
Don't wanna wear a cross, 'cuz it brings no hope
|
In the beginnin' as we know, started back in the land
|
Well defined, their complexion was just like mines
|
Come to find we was lead and upon direct
|
Now we cheat, steal and kill and lost all respect
|
How much pain would you take before you break the chain?
|
Most of us don't even care, we was planted with fear
|
We say the babies are the future, but what's the fuss?
|
Broken homes, growin' up, they act worse than us
|
Since we all been double-crossed, sins we wear with pride
|
Believe the lies, yet, still ain't open our eyes
|
Lookin' forward to the day that I fast and pray
|
These is questions that I always say
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Frukwan]
|
Goin' through a struggle, yeah it's hard at first
|
Bein' put down, shunned, ragged, tagged and dragged
|
The inner strength leave the soul through a body of one
|
Can't be mad, yo, I'm glad, cuz I know where I'm from
|
Priceless, I'm like a treasure, I can't be touched
|
Made an image of myself from the grains of dust
|
Mold and shape the woman with the curves of a snake
|
Travel lightyears away and then return to base
|
Eliminatin' evil's more like a daily chore
|
Teachin' my ways, that's how I spend most of my days
|
Balance attack, never been scared to be black
|
Manifestin' only actual facts
|
Savin' the kids, spreadin' love, yo, that's how to life
|
Justice is my reward for the acts that I did
|
Think about all the things in time, seek and you'll find
|
Yo, I wanna go home, I got's to know
|
