《Second Heartbeat (feat. Sampa the Great & OKENYO)》歌词

[00:00:01] Second Heartbeat - Urthboy/Sampa the Great/Okenyo

[00:00:05] There's nothin' I'm runnin' from

[00:00:08] Tell you where I'm comin' from

[00:00:10] I know where I've been

[00:00:12] I've been with you you've been with me

[00:00:16] Leather-bound diary faded handwriting

[00:00:18] Great-granddad thought it was a war worth fighting

[00:00:21] He ended up surviving had a daughter named Dot

[00:00:23] That's my grandma fell in love and married her boss

[00:00:26] That's my grandpa had a little hairdressing shop in Lakemba

[00:00:30] First child ninth of December in the years following the war ending

[00:00:34] A baby boom set in and now we call 'em boomers hey mum

[00:00:37] You were a straight-laced girl say what

[00:00:39] Went and got hitched to chain-smoking guys say what

[00:00:41] I've got a bit of both sides no surprised say what

[00:00:44] Like you're looking my different coloured eyes say what

[00:00:47] I got blue from brown and green songs of Donald Byrd the Trumpets

[00:00:50] The came from a thirty-three and a third maybe they got me

[00:00:54] My memory is a cluster of notes

[00:00:55] Forming a familiar melody I swear that I know

[00:00:59] Stress in the mornin' stress in the evenin'

[00:01:01] Stress is what I'm feelin' it's no wonder I ain't breathin'

[00:01:04] Music is my life from before I could breath

[00:01:06] Cause my daddy sang my mommy some melodious keys

[00:01:09] Melodious G melodiously

[00:01:12] In the end it was the birth of melodious me

[00:01:15] I picked up the tune when I was in the womb

[00:01:17] And I promise I would pride 'em with the songs that I'm doing

[00:01:20] I wonder if they thought that I could change the world

[00:01:22] If I could change the world well I would change myself

[00:01:25] First-borns seem to always know better

[00:01:28] The past is in the future so I get to know better

[00:01:30] Get to breath better get to dream better

[00:01:33] You paid for my college so I get to eat better

[00:01:36] I saw you in the past working long hours daddy

[00:01:38] I saw mama give dreams so we could be happy

[00:01:41] It's deep like my African lin'age

[00:01:44] I bet you're gonna need an African Minute

[00:01:47] Ode it to the ancestors

[00:01:49] Cause they answer prayers cause they answer

[00:01:51] There's just nothin' I'm runnin' from

[00:01:54] Tell you where I'm comin' from

[00:01:57] I know where I've been

[00:01:59] I've been with you you've been with me oh baby

[00:02:03] The past beats inside of me

[00:02:06] You may not even know

[00:02:08] Things you don't know somethin' you feel

[00:02:11] Fading like photos somethin' so real

[00:02:13] It's like there's a second heartbeat

[00:02:17] A light to lead me home

[00:02:19] Things you don't know somethin' you feel

[00:02:21] Fading like photos somethin' so real

[00:02:24] Subconscious is monstrous underneath like the Loch Ness

[00:02:27] Never seen but ever present like my blackness

[00:02:29] Puffing out my fro to to check my bestness

[00:02:31] Makin' waves like the flowing song of my ancestors

[00:02:34] Dig beneath the layers

[00:02:36] Tryna see what they are saying

[00:02:38] Looks like I found a treasure worth displayin'

[00:02:40] I take it down from the shelf

[00:02:42] Shine it up like a diamond see what it's worth

[00:02:44] And I know some things they are forever

[00:02:48] Know some things they hold together

[00:02:50] I won't walk this road alone

[00:02:53] I won't walk this road alone

[00:02:55] And I know some things they are forever

[00:02:58] Know some things they hold together

[00:03:01] I won't walk this road alone

[00:03:03] I won't walk this road alone

[00:03:07] There's just nothin' I'm runnin' from

[00:03:09] Tell you where I'm comin' from

[00:03:12] I know where I've been

[00:03:14] I've been with you you've been with me

[00:03:17] The past beats inside of me

[00:03:21] You may not even know

[00:03:23] Things you don't know somethin' you feel

[00:03:25] Fading like photos somethin' so real

[00:03:28] It's like there's a second heartbeat

[00:03:31] A light to lead me home

[00:03:33] Things you don't know somethin' you feel

[00:03:36] Fading like photos somethin' so real

[00:03:39] There's just nothin' I'm runnin' from

[00:03:41] Tell you where I'm comin' from

[00:03:44] I know where I've been

[00:03:45] I've been with you you've been with me
