Lyrics

We are born, umbilical cord, snap crackle and pop, the baby drop into a midwife's lap -
Papa look down, if he's even around, giddy laughter merge with the Universal om sound -
congratulations aplenty, big brother in the next room snackin on good n plenty -
a little jealous, new baby into the fam, but he tell us, he gon' be the role model, the man -
age 1 and 2 they change us, can't fend for our self,
then schools rearrange us, we cant think for our self,
3 & 4 puttin' sentences together, regardless of the weather, we always do it better -
it's an innocent mind, the concept of mine, his and hers - bilingual kids, speakin' double the words -
age 5 we learn about Columbus - discovered a world where Natives livin' in abundance -
7, they teach us bout cursive, some kids get bullied and become submissive,
but me never that, the little league fat cat, hittin homeruns with a wooden baseball bat,
we kick soccer balls stationed at right wing,
like Spike Lee tryin' to do the Right Thing...

This is Life.........
