Mecca Rebell - Make Your Own Love lyrics

First Verse Where I come from what I do ain't supported Hip Hop's not something commonly exported Mama tellin' me to focus on the academics Yea I got you but lack of pa**ion is an epidemic Ma you don't understand cause you come from a different world Vietnamese refugee as a little girl Raised in the countryside got traditional values We got the same eyes but it's different lens I see through Which is why you don't really get what I do Truly want to make you proud but I got nothing to prove I love you so much but I love what's true too We all naked in face of d**h so there's nothing to lose It's not culture clash, it's identity clash Where you come from Mama it was all about the cash Times have changed though humanity as a whole Reaches higher consciousness that's the way to go Took time for me to understand your worry comes from love But it's best to not hold your kid back instead give a shove Don't stress Mama, hakuna matata I find my way either way just like potato potata!

Now don't be stupid y'all, and just drop out of school if you don't know yet what you truly want to spend your time and your life doing. But you know, sometimes I feel there's just, there's just...
