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
Didnt 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]Dont forget where you came from
[00:49.67]Dont forget who you are
[00:52.06]Look at you, youre a STAR
[00:54.12]
[00:54.74]SO Ill never forget MY ETHNICITY
[00:59.28]Ill never forget MY ETHNICITY
[01:03.67]Ill never forget MY ETHNICITY
[01:08.62]Ill 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 Im human, Im just born this way
Were 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 Ill never forget MY ETHNICITY
[03:12.03] Ill never forget MY ETHNICITY
[03:16.65]Ill never forget MY ETHNICITY
[03:21.47]I'll never forget MY ETHNICITY
I can only be me
I can only be me
