[Intro]
Leeme tell you ma life story
Ooh sorry not ma life story
Buh leeme tell you a life story
[Verse 1]
I carry the stories of the places I’ve been
Every horizon etched in where I’ve been seen
From distant shores to crowded streets
I wear my roots like a compass, steady and keen
[Pre-Chorus]
No matter the miles, I’ll stand and reveal
The colors of home that time cannot steal
[Chorus]
I’m bringing my truth to the world today
From whispered roots to the bright wide way
Every tale I tell is a map I unfurl
To welcome the world to meet my world
[Verse 2]
The kettle sings in a kitchen far away
My grandmother’s laugh still guides my way
I stitch my voice with threads of where I’m from
And sing it loud so strangers become one
[Pre-Chorus]
No matter the miles, I’ll stand and reveal
The colors of home that time cannot steal
[Chorus]
I’m bringing my truth to the world today
From whispered roots to the bright wide way
Every tale I tell is a map I unfurl
To welcome the world to meet my world
[Bridge]
If you listen close, you’ll hear the road
Whispering back all the stories I’ve known
Rooted in here, I bloom and roam
Sharing my lens, I find a common home
[Chorus]
I’m bringing my truth to the world today
From whispered roots to the bright wide way
Every tale I tell is a map I unfurl
To welcome the world to meet my world
[Outro]
So rise with me, wherever we’ve flown
Our roots are the seeds we’ve all grown
