Trees - we celebrate (feat. La-RN) Lyrics
Official




[ Featuring Roots ]

Everyday
We celebrate
Light up the sage and begin the meditation
Today we're elevating
Those who braved the waves
Who faced the pain
Who paved the way
We're here today
Cos what they overcame
Forever grateful
Never negate you
We dedicate this to
Everything and everyone who overcame
Who came to this place
No blacks
No dogs
No Irish
Faced hatred everyday
Can't rent
Can't even vent
Bent over backwards spent Working three jobs just to get spat in the face
And told to go back to where we came
Hurdles placed in our way
Like Hansle we handle them with such grace
Kunta Kente when he jumped the broom
We turn tragedy to triumph
Burn pressure into diamonds
This is what we do
Nights out, couldn't get into the bars
So we'd bring it back to ours
Plastic sheets, finest crockery displayed out in the yard
Bring a bottle, forget your troubles, tonight we gon' party hard
This is to
All those that moved
Across the waves
Who paved the way
We're here today
Cos what they overcame
So we celebrate
Yeahhh
We celebrate
Those who went through heaven's gate
Those whose hearts were feather weight
Those who had to immigrate
Who never hesitate to give when it comes to crunch time
To all the aunties and uncles who weren't even blood-tied
To all those who helped us along the way
We knocked at your door
You fixed a hot plate
Nothing to eat but you'd turn scraps into a fat feast
Saltfish, callaloo pattie with some ackee
You were the unsung sheroes and heroes of our community
What ever happened to the unity?
To the days when we used to live more communally?
Remembering those who made it feel how it used to be
It takes a village
We feel your spirit
Wherever we go we know your with us
We celebrate you through the flow and through the eternal rhythm
We let it go
Let Spirit do what it's gotta do
Today we give it up to you
This is to
All those that moved
Across the waves
Who paved the way
We're here today
Cos what they overcame
So we celebrate
Yeahhh
Just move with it
Groove with it
Pop with it
Lock with it
Let this beat
Move your feet
Don't stop til you drop
And everytime your head bops
Better give props
Cos this is hip hop, is it not?
Just move with it
Groove with it
Pop with it
Lock with it
Let this beat
Move your feet
Don't stop til you drop
And everytime your head bops
Better give props
Cos this is hip hop, is it not?
This is to
All those that moved
Across the waves
Who paved the way
We're here today
Cos what they overcame
So we celebrate
Yeahhh
This is to
All those that moved
Across the waves
Who paved the way
We're here today
Cos what they overcame
So we celebrate
Yeahhh
