lyrics

I feel connected when I rock these braids
when I battle to this hip hop over bboy breaks
take you back to the olden days before
Julius Caesar or Europe and Easter ooo oooo

you've got the pheromones of Sierra Leone
I am not a pharaoh, I'm a King
I've got a kilt of my own
I'm Celtic when I rock these braids
I connect to my ancestors
before they were colonized by Rome
do you know your history
or all you all Internet, holmes?
see, I'm politically correct too
but if you move too far left, you miss the goal
I knew when I first heard that spiritual song
wade in the water
I'd have to learn from a culture other than my own
so when you see me on stage you might be like
“that white boy has soul!”
well, we all had soul
before the European melting pot
before our pantheon of deities
was corrupted by an inauthentic Law
millenia ago, the Germanic people rocked braids
they were not African corn rows but
they're still related in some way...
