Home Cooked

[Verse One: Kiwi]
It's been a minute since I last felt you under my feet
Last felt them 8 rays of your sun my cheek
When we first met I really had to struggle to speak
Now I hunger for you like I ain't had nothing to eat
It's something that's deep within me
The legends and the history
The trivia the mystery of this story of ours
The story of wars
We travel on a road full of scars
Late night, all alone with you, I notice the stars
Far away from the city in a secret location
The spirit in the air that burn the whole nation
But we diss you from the start
Your heart was forsaken
I'm here to rectify that, we done waiting
In fact, I'm compensating for them days that we lost
Hoping for the very moment that I make it across
Back in your arms, the only place I feel I belong
With a million folks behind me all singing along

[Hook: Bambu]
You so fly to me
You and I should be
Just you and I but I know I'm just being greedy, can you blame?
With ya
"8 rays, sun on my cheek"

[Verse Two: Geologic]
It's been a minute since I seen my sister, LuzViMinda
Used to love her now I miss her
She the reason my fist is steady closed
With the memory of those that we abandoned
And I know she got my back
She delivered me a champion
And I tell 'em 'bout his auntie in the east
While we hungry in the beast
Our history, the teachers never teach
Until we reaching for the notion of a nation from each
According to ability to each according to they need
I'm writing, recording and performing a feed
Both my hunger to succeed but even more seed
And even more for the people who need to breathe easy
But they can't seem to put down the yosies and the beedies
And they say cause I lost my native tongue that I forgot you
My heart still pumps the blood of Datu Lapu-Lapu
When I got you, and truthfully I could I not without you
When the children in the belly barely know a thing about you

[Hook]
You so fly to me
You and I should be
Just you and I but I know I'm just being greedy, can you blame?
Just "breathe easy"
"Know she got my back"

[Verse Three: Bambu]
It's been a minute and a half since we last touched hands
And that's a lot longer than your man originally planned
I like to think that I stand with you attached to my back
I like to think I bring you with me when I get on a track
Matter of fact, let me take this time to thank you out loud
For birthing my brother Kiwi and Geologic in Sea-Town
Such style, such grace, such a marvelous face
Mmmm, I love everything you put on my plate
I think of you when I get used to being farther from home
I think of you when I feel like I can't fight no more
You the reason I'm even alive and if I've neglected you I'm sorry
But I've become one with my gun since the last time you saw me
I get it now, I know why you like them kinds
Them guerrilla type folks, them rebellious types
So I've joined that team, now I'm on that street
With thousands of your kids marching with hopes to get you free
I see you in my sleep
And keep a piece of you in my heart
And I promise, and ain't no ocean that could keep us apart
