all my mistakes man you already know
thanks to katherine dunham
for giving my pops his glory
he came down with his drum
and a dream to change the world
in a free uplifting world
and that's all he ever want
made em' fight one another
the pain would never last
did the best with what they had
he knew the world was out for grabs
and he searched to find his
so i search to find my.freedom
i'd have to hustle just to make it through
so i found myself skipping school
cause' the girls don't think i'm cool
and because of that i didn't care
whether or not i went to jail
i just wanna be treated fair
cause thats all i ever knew
tellin' me i need to slow down
cause everybody in the whole town
cause they know how i get down
foreigner from another town
can you believe we still around?
after so many hit the ground
and we ain't gon stop now
all my mistakes man you already know
and the land is drug-free
just praise g-o-d put your hands up
all my mistakes girl you already know
