Testo Braided Hair - Speech
Testo della canzone Braided Hair (Speech), tratta dall'album The Vagabond
Yeah, we was talking earlier and I was
Telling you, just talking about life
I feel like life is really just like braided hair
Cause it's... so like twists
You know about braiding?
Like twists, you know?
Three strands twist together
Ultimately you get to where you're gonna get to, you know?
From the same dirt from the heels of my ancestors
The naked rose in the fields where the pain festered
I wonder where the hope came from
In the deeps of my heart, made me yearn for the drum
It's the same place where the crosses burned
The same place where the loss was earned
It's the place where the floss was yearned
Gold teeth and bling, ice on the rings made me shun
Yo, we all got things that hang on our back
Things that make us cool, things that make us wack
Things that make us mad
Things we wish we never had, done
But they're just the things that make us real
Not the maps that got where we go from here
The road twists and braids like hair
Until we all get there
I like that I don't know some mysteries
Ancient things and beginnings
Excited 'bout the day when I don't have to hear all the theories
My scalp needs some grease
In the same place where the crosses burned
The same place where the loss was earned
The only way we all can learn
Is if we have these braids with the twists and turns
We all got things that hang on our back
Things that make us cool, things that make us wack
Things that make us mad
Things we wish we never had, done
But they're just the things that make us real
Not the maps that got where we go from here
The road twists and braids like hair
Until we all get there
Walking in the race of life looking for my own pace
Not always wanting to, but I have to
Sometimes feeling like I've bitten off much more than I can chew
But the wind goes through my hair and lifts me up with ease
Not a crease, hair full of grease, no weave, embracing me
It's you I see, yeah
I am you and you are me, I see, yeah
I am you and you are me, I see, yeah
We might survive as brothers, yeah, or perish here as fools
Don't place your bets, don't bet too soon
Yeah, you might find me in another field like someone you once knew
You know that face, yeah, we all do
We might survive as brothers, yeah, or perish here as fools
Don't place your bets, don't bet too soon
Yeah, you might find me in another field like someone you once knew
You know that face, yeah, we all do
We might survive as brothers, yeah, or perish here as fools
Don't place your bets, don't bet too soon
Yeah, you might find me in another field like someone you once knew
You know that face, yeah, we all do
