My Movie by Potluck
[Chorus]
I've got something to tell you
I believe you, I believe you
I've got something to tell you
I believe you really ought to know
[Hook]
This is my life [X4]
(Think about it echoeing in background)
[Verse 1 - 1Ton]
It started when my pops moved away from Africa
When to college in America, and met my mom in Canada
Interracial couple, no one would date 'em double
That's about the time my momma's stomach grew a bubble
I was still inside, I wasn't black, I wasn't white
But to the world I was still a nigga, just a little light
No time for ignorance, I just gotta live my life
Treat everybody with respect and hope that they can get it right
'Cause when I was a youth, my parents moved to California
Said that I would understand it more when I became older
The south was segregated, the East was way behind
It's not the color of your skin, but what's inside your mind
The motto that I kept in every house a nigga slept
On every block that I roamed, on every spot I called home
I went to Jr. High with all the Asians and the Blacks
Learned to give respect and expect to get it back
Every time I meet a different race I try to learn somethin'
In the Barrio, eat burritos like it's nothin'
Keep an open mind, got a lot left to do
Learned to surf from a nigga, learned to rap from a Jew
Gotta spread knowledge every time I'm on stage
This is the book of life, every day's another page
So when my time is up and I fall over dead
I hope I was successful like im gettin in your head.--~~~~PILLZBARRY
[Hook]
This is my life [X4]
