My Ethnicity

(albüm: Nightlife - 2009)

Oh oh oh ohh
Oh oh oh ohhh
My Ethnicity babay ay
Oh oh oh ohh
Oh oh oh ohhh
My Ethnicity babay ay

My father worked hard every day of his life to give us everything we had
Then the war took everything away
It broke his spirit
So he broke his back
My mum taught piano and it put us through school
Didn't have much, everything she knew
How to make it right
How to not fight
Yeah yeah yeahh

[Chorus:]
Then he told me
Son I want you to go to North America
To dream the dream of dreams
To be somebody
Work real hard
Don't forget where you came from
Don't forget who you are
Look at you, you're a star
So I'll never forget my e-ethnicityy
No I'll never forget my e-ethnicityy
No I'll never forget my e-ethnicityy
No I'll never forget my e-ethnicityy
I can only be me
{E-ethnicity}
I can only be me
{E-ethnicity}

The older I get I feel this need to know
All about my past and family tree
Everything my people been through
And how we finally came to be
They said I had to go and change my name
Forget about all my dreams of fame
I asked my father why
Does it have to be this way

[Chorus]

But wait waait
Why should this even make a difference though
I'm human
I'm just born this way
We're the same same
Take your time to get to know me better
Buy the album and play it
Now tell me am I worse then you?

Oh oh oh ohh
Oh oh oh ohhh
My Ethnicity babay ay
Oh oh oh ohh
Oh oh oh ohhh
Oh oh oh ohhh
But I'll never forget my e-ethnicity
No I'll never forget my e-ethnicity
[Repeated]
What's wrong with my e-ethnicity
I can only be me...
