Lyrics

But what, We're just chillin' with Earth, Wind and Fire
This is my desire
Talkin' 'bout culture, I'm a vulture
Just like the beat on play, let's get it
(No-no-no-no-no-no, chillin' with the earth)
(All the girls have a crazy desire)
(So we desire earth and the land)
Everybody take a look around
What do you see? (Ooh)
When I look, there's faces everywhere
Lookin' back at me (lookin' back at me)
Their eyes keep tellin' me stories
Don't understand
In my mind, there's many, many questions
'Bout who I am
Just be proud of the land where your blood comes from
No one can take away what you have done
Hold your head up high
Cultures stand eye to eye
One people livin' under one sun
Be proud (your heritage)
Sing it out loud (be proud of who you are)
Take your rightful place
It's your heritage
So stand tall (your heritage)
Don't be small (be proud of yourself)
Show true face
It's your heritage (yeah!)
(Your -)
Everybody walks a little different to keep the pace
Gotta have pride (pride)
Just to be a winner in the human race
In school (in school), the rules don't fly (c'mon now)
Out on the street, tell me why
People of the nation can't feel the same beat
Just be proud of the land where your blood comes from
No one can take away what you have done
Hold your head up high
Cultures stand eye to eye
One people livin' under one sun
Be proud (your heritage)
Sing it out loud (be proud of who you are)
Take your rightful place
It's your heritage
So stand tall (your heritage)
Don't be small (be proud of yourself)
Baby, show your true face
It's your heritage (yeah!)
We're livin' in a colorful world (yeah)
All shades of love (amen)
Each carryin' a ray of hope
Sent down from above
Yo Marice, break it down for me all right
The Boys chillin' with Earth, Wind, and Flames
They asked us to sing a few notes
So we came
Realized the meanin' of the song
So we sung
With all our heart and soul
And hopefully, we bruh
A message to all to not be small
To stand up tall and to give it your all
Let's have a ball, y'all (ball y'all, ball y'all)
Check it out (your heritage)
Your heritage
Be proud of who you are
(This is the party, y'all)
Your heritage
Be talent of yourself (earth, wind, and fire, fire wind)
(When you say you're tired, you know it's time to begin)
Be proud (your heritage)
Sing it out loud (be proud of who you are)
Take your rightful place
It's your heritage
So stand tall (your heritage)
Don't be small (be proud of yourself)
Baby show your true face
It's your heritage (oh, yeah!)
(Oh, oh, c'mon now, he's tough)
