Theres nothinIm runninfrom
Tell you where Im cominfrom
I know where Ive been
Ive been with you youve been with me
Leather-bound diary faded handwriting
Great-granddad thought it was a war worth fighting
He ended up surviving had a daughter named Dot
Thats my grandma fell in love and married her boss
Thats my grandpa had a little hairdressing shop in Lakemba
First child ninth of December in the years following the war ending
A baby boom set in and now we call em boomers hey mum
You were a straight-laced girl say what
Went and got hitched to chain-smoking guys say what
Ive got a bit of both sides no surprised say what
Like youre looking my different coloured eyes say what
I got blue from brown and green songs of Donald Byrd the Trumpets
The came from a thirty-three and a third maybe they got me
My memory is a cluster of notes
Forming a familiar melody I swear that I know
Stress in the morninstress in the evenin
Stress is what Im feelinits no wonder I aint breathin
Music is my life from before I could breath
Cause my daddy sang my mommy some melodious keys
Melodious G melodiously
In the end it was the birth of melodious me
I picked up the tune when I was in the womb
And I promise I would pride em with the songs that Im doing
I wonder if they thought that I could change the world
If I could change the world well I would change myself
First-borns seem to always know better
The past is in the future so I get to know better
Get to breath better get to dream better
You paid for my college so I get to eat better
I saw you in the past working long hours daddy
I saw mama give dreams so we could be happy
Its deep like my African linage
I bet youre gonna need an African Minute
Ode it to the ancestors
Cause they answer prayers cause they answer
Theres just nothinIm runninfrom
Tell you where Im cominfrom
I know where Ive been
Ive been with you youve been with me oh baby
The past beats inside of me
You may not even know
Things you dont know somethinyou feel
Fading like photos somethinso real
Its like theres a second heartbeat
A light to lead me home
Things you dont know somethinyou feel
Fading like photos somethinso real
Subconscious is monstrous underneath like the Loch Ness
Never seen but ever present like my blackness
Puffing out my fro to to check my bestness
Makinwaves like the flowing song of my ancestors
Dig beneath the layers
Tryna see what they are saying
Looks like I found a treasure worth displayin
I take it down from the shelf
Shine it up like a diamond see what its worth
And I know some things they are forever
Know some things they hold together
I wont walk this road alone
I wont walk this road alone
And I know some thingsthey are forever
Know some things they hold together
I wont walk this road alone
I wont walk this road alone
Theres just nothinIm runninfrom
Tell you where Im cominfrom
I know where Ive been
Ive been with you youve been with me
The past beats inside of me
You may not even know
Things you dont know somethinyou feel
Fading like photos somethinso real
Its like theres a second heartbeat
A light to lead me home
Things you dont know somethinyou feel
Fading like photos somethinso real
Theres just nothinIm runninfrom
Tell you where Im cominfrom
I know where Ive been
Ive been with you youve been with me
Theres just nothinIm runninfrom
Tell you where Im cominfrom
I know where Ive been
Ive been with you youve been with me
