Bambú - Home Cooked lyrics

[Verse One: Kiwi] It's been a minute since I last felt you under my feet Last felt them 8 rays of your sun my cheek When we first met I really had to struggle to speak Now I hunger for you like I ain't had nothing to eat It's something that's deep within me The legends and the history The trivia the mystery of this story of ours The story of wars We travel on a road full of scars Late night, all alone with you, I notice the stars Far away from the city in a secret location The spirit in the air that burn the whole nation But we diss you from the start Your heart was forsaken I'm here to rectify that, we done waiting In fact, I'm compensating for them days that we lost Hoping for the very moment that I make it across Back in your arms, the only place I feel I belong With a million folks behind me all singing along [Hook: Bambu] You so fly to me You and I should be Just you and I but I know I'm just being greedy, can you blame? With ya "8 rays, sun on my cheek" [Verse Two: Geologic] It's been a minute since I seen my sister, LuzViMinda Used to love her now I miss her She the reason my fist is steady closed With the memory of those that we abandoned And I know she got my back She delivered me a champion And I tell 'em 'bout his auntie in the east While we hungry in the beast Our history, the teachers never teach Until we reaching for the notion of a nation from each According to ability to each according to they need I'm writing, recording and performing a feed Both my hunger to succeed but even more seed And even more for the people who need to breathe easy But they can't seem to put down the yosies and the beedies And they say cause I lost my native tongue that I forgot you My heart still pumps the blood of Datu Lapu-Lapu When I got you, and truthfully I could I not without you When the children in the belly barely know a thing about you [Hook] You so fly to me You and I should be Just you and I but I know I'm just being greedy, can you blame? Just "breathe easy" "Know she got my back" [Verse Three: Bambu] It's been a minute and a half since we last touched hands And that's a lot longer than your man originally planned I like to think that I stand with you attached to my back I like to think I bring you with me when I get on a track Matter of fact, let me take this time to thank you out loud For birthing my brother Kiwi and Geologic in Sea-Town Such style, such grace, such a marvelous face Mmmm, I love everything you put on my plate I think of you when I get used to being farther from home I think of you when I feel like I can't fight no more You the reason I'm even alive and if I've neglected you I'm sorry But I've become one with my gun since the last time you saw me I get it now, I know why you like them kinds Them gorilla type folks, them rebellious types So I've joined that team, now I'm on that street With thousands of your kids marching with hopes to get you free I see you in my sleep And keep a piece of you in my heart And I promise, and ain't no ocean that could keep us apart
