My Ethnicity

My father worked hard everyday of his life

To give us everything we had

Then the war took everything away and broke his spirit

So he broke his back

My mom taught piano and it put us through school

Didn't have much,everything she knew

How to make it right, how to not fight...

[00:37.66]Then he told me son I want you to go to North America

[00:42.29]To dream the dream of dreams

[00:44.13]To be somebody to work real hard

[00:47.02]Don't forget where you came from

[00:49.67]Don't forget who you are

[00:52.06]Look at you, you're a STAR

[00:54.12]

[00:54.74]SO I'll never forget MY ETHNICITY

[00:59.28]I'll never forget MY ETHNICITY

[01:03.67]I'll never forget MY ETHNICITY

[01:08.62]I'll never forget MY ETHNICITY

[01:13.15]I can only be me

[01:18.09]I can only be me

[01:23.01]

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?"

But wait wait

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

Now tell me am I worse than you?

[03:07.57]BUT I'll never forget MY ETHNICITY

[03:12.03]I'll never forget MY ETHNICITY

[03:16.65]I'll never forget MY ETHNICITY

[03:21.47]I'll never forget MY ETHNICITY

I can only be me

I can only be me
