We Swing (The Cypher) [feat. Jazzmeia Horn & Dianne Reeves]

Why must we swing so hard? Sometimes they don't understand

It's just the way we live, it's in the lay of our land

In everything we do

We got to tell our life story

It might be the blues or pop, how we rock or hip-hop

Oh yes, a little bit of church and don't forget the doo-wop

That's how we swing

We swing

Why do we swing so hard? It's just the cycle of life

With all its ups and the downs, got us spinning around

We can reach and touch the sky

With our feet standing on the ground

From the rhythm of the bush to the soul of the streets

We be tap dancing on ya head or break dance like it's Beat Street

That's how we swing

That's how we swing

That's how we swing

Why do we swing so hard? It's the rhythm of life

It's how we all get down, the whole world around

It's a special kinda magic

Part of our melanated sound

From the rising of the sun, till the end of the day

We be shining like a diamond, that's just our way

That's how we swing

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, that's how we swing

That's how we swing

That's how we swing, that's how we swing

That's how we swing, that's how we swing

That's how we swing (We swing, we swing)

Everything is a swing

Swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing

Swing and swing and swing and swing and swing

It's all swing

That's just how, how we swing

Don't matter what you do, it's still swing

We do what we do, how we do it, like we do it

When we do it all the time (We swing)

That's who we are (We swing)

We swing

Oh, we swing

We swing

We swing

We swing

We swing
