Full Circle
He was born when the world was at the brink of war His father left him, he learned later what for Gone for years, left a wife and two kids In a war-torn country, all living in fear They were being persecuted with no where run on an island His kind was forced into hiding In the bomb shelters, rubber in his mouth For the impact to keep his teeth from coming out He saw things no child should have to see Streets and rivers both flooded with casualties Father finally returned reunited at last Didn't even recognize him he ran right past The war had ended but, they were no longer welcome In their own land, it was under new command Exiled to a place that never wanted em there They made it quite clear, and would touch and stare Cause they had never seen nobody with no brown skin He had to be careful when he hung around them But he got by, discovered his love for music Jazz got him things that he just wasn't used to Took it with him everywhere, loved it so much Moved to america, cause he heard there was plenty there Got an education but still kept playing Traveled the world, came back and put his faith in The Glory of God, taught by a bass player Had sons of his own, and through them he's grown And now they're the one's looking out for him They love him and I can tell you that they're proud of him CHORUS：He survived the war, his life needed more And now it's come around full circle He became his own man, in his homeland And now it's come around full circle He loved the music and knew to use it And now it's come around full circle And understand he lives for his family And now it's come around full circle She came into this world not as a baby girl But as grown woman cause she was pushed out to pay the bills And since then she's been on her own Birth certificate reads father unknown She had an old picture of a group of men On a reservation, but didn't even know if he was one of them Never had the time to give it any thought The oldest of four and caretaker of them all Mother unfit so she was forced to live In foster home after home after orphanage At sixteen she gave birth to her first kid Living in the projects she prayed he would outlive Dropped out of high school, never went to college When she walked into buildings she was never acknowledged She knew somehow she had to make an honest living She used what she had and finally started singing After she Iearned that God, was watching over her From a bass player, the answer to her prayers No formal education but she got into a graduate Program, she worked hard cause she so was glad to get Any opportunity, and that mindset is still in her A teacher now, because that work is real to her Made a new life for her kids out of nothin Doctorate in hand cause she knows how to hustle But her greatest feat is not her PHD Her biggest accomplishment is of a higher degree It's the fact that her sons can count on her It's the fact that her sons can be proud of her CHORUS：She knows how to hustle, works on the double And now it's come around full circle Love is the reason she could rise above it And now it's come around full circle She takes nothing she's handed for granted And now it's come around full circle And understand she lives for her family And now it's come around full circle I met my brother in the womb We both had to make the move late june He was always a few steps ahead of me But never letting me go never forgetting me Most of the kids at school never accepted me So together we formed a team for whenever we Moved from city to city and it seemed every Place was diverse reflecting our own heredity We never had that much None of the other kids had never seen working class like us The amount of money they had was transparent I couldn't relate, we never had grandparents Moved cause a good education was needed Ma wanted us to have more choice than she did And ironically we were all cheated My brother got wise quick, that's how he succeeded I remained cause I felt love for a moment But it was never possible my heart was stolen I sought something to burn Ruined all my relationships, got me what I deserved Lesson learned, a step closer to my destination Finally left school to start my education Life abroad saw my pain lifted I thank God we could afford that plane ticket And now I realize how all this came to be Now I see what they were doing when they were naming me Mother father thank you for allowing me To become badi, I hope your proud of me It's full circle
