Lyrics
"Where did you come from
High in the sky beyond the sun
I've been looking for someone like you
Like the ocean can give to you
Where did you come from"
I came from the wind, came from the seas
Came from kings, came from queens
Provided means to express what's seen
I'm the hope that will gleam
When things seem useless
Futile, fruitless
I'm hoping you can use this, the truth can be ruthless
You're launching your attack, then you need some theme music
Expressing your emotions in sync with the oceanic
Tide believe but gonna grind, don't panic
I could be frantic or maybe mellow and soothing
No matter what tempo, with form I'm still moving
I move Bob Marley and I moved Etta James
Then they claim when the fire breaks out, I'm to blame
Same people who raised hell in their youth
Now they got all types of advice to tell you
Do what you feel if your actions are real
Then you shall find glory when the truth is revealed
Just follow your call and when your visions are done
Then wander
Where did I come from? Well it starts with the drum
Enemies run once you hear my rhythm, you're done
You shouldn't have come
It shouldn't have spun us into bondage
Forty acres and a mule, another broken promise
We're working in the fields where you should pay us as farmers
Make a compromise, well that's the way you Uncle Tom us
Divide and conquer, on the road we grow stronger
Every situation you create will make us thoughtful
Freedom's what we long for
Our pain and our soul
All captured by a reel as our story is told
So our future generations can express and unfold
In modern societies as we're nearing our goals
Emcees will be the vessel, as long as they don't aim
The minds of our youth toward material gains
If this starts to happen then you'll turn towards the captain
That's where you'll find me checking in ready for action
Solar generated, cultivated by the sun
Just follow your call and when your missions are done
Then wander
Where did I come from? Sit back and just wonder
Earth is my element, lightning, thunder
Grey skies signify the pain I been through
You can see it in my eyes unleashed at every venue
Messages I send you can cut like Tenchu
Until you recognize your potential I won't let you
Wander aimless, nameless, carrying the stainless
Steel concealed, fucking with crime to gain famous
Low, wanna race around the world, let's go
No luggage though, that anger that you carry let go
I ran far, way past the prices in Bien Mur
Through to the Mugabe where eternal sands are
Gazed at the horizon and the future looked enticing
So my only choice, lay out my path and keep grinding
Wiling, saying fuck the critics, never compromising
I'll push your eyes in if you're sleeping while I'm verbalizing
Yes I do this out of love and for the fun
Just follow your call and when your missions are done
Then wander
