Masala

(album: Growing Out Of It - 1998)

I got much Masala
Yeah, I got much Masala

Sit and think about me upbringing
And tearing it apart is a serious thing
They say I'm confused
They say I lost my culture, I lost my grassroots
All that shit I just give it the boot
'Cause I know where lies my truth

With me coming around the corner with dem boom, boom, boom
I hit the dance floor so make some room
I'm the crazy Indian, let me scream and shout
So tell me who's selling out
With me coming around the corner with dem boom, boom, boom
I hit the dance floor so make some room
I'm the crazy Indian, let me scream and shout
So tell me who's selling out

First generation American
No one knew where I was coming from
Fuck the past, what's done is done
We'll rule the world together
'Cause I got much Masala, yeah, I got much Masala

Born and raised in America
But when I came home it felt like India
Yes! Three languages I read, write, and speak
And everybody's saying that my future is bleak
I dropped my racism so I donned my blonde streak
So tell me who's culture is weak

With me coming around the corner with dem boom, boom, boom
I hit the dance floor so make some room
I'm the crazy Indian, let me scream and shout
So tell me who's selling out
With me coming around the corner with dem boom, boom, boom
I hit the dance floor so make some room
I'm the crazy Indian, let me scream and shout
So tell me who's selling out

First generation American
No one knew where I was coming from
Fuck the past, what's done is done
We'll rule the world together
'Cause I got much Masala, yeah, I got much Masala
