"history" lyrics
Oh-ah
Oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah
Ah
We been history from the start
Oh, oh-ah (Oh)
Ah
We been history from the start
Oh, oh-ah
I know my mother tongue real good (Real good)
But that ain't in the world that I live
Just the world that I always daydream of (Dream of)
Speaking in code, got my grandmother nose and my motherfuckin' feet up
And the roosters and hens in my eardrum
I listen to them when I need to feel somethin' in my soul
But I don't got much time 'fore that all fades to black
And I open my eyes and I'm back up in Babylon (Oh)
My dystopian home, where I turned small to grown
Without knowing a clue 'bout the land I belong (I belong)
Oh-ah
Ah
We been history from the start
Oh-ah (Oh)
Oh
We been history, yo (From the start)
I said, we been history, yo (Oh)
I said I packed the black suitcase up to the brim
It's ripped and scratched so my toothpaste touching the wind
In the back of this aircraft, much on a whim
I figured this the best way to begin (Oh)
Short flight from the coast of Miami, Florida to the Caribbean
Ain't fully where our story started, but it's close enough
I find me a corner and fit in perfect
Got just enough room to squeeze in without hurting, I should have more
But I'm sharing with an Anglo-Sax that don't got morals
'Cause it's his vacation destination
Next to a tourist, tryna placate the whole nation
Spend a couple dollars tryna save face
Nigga, fuck all of you and your reputation
I came here to learn, the irony is so painful
The dichotomy of two strangers to the soil
But he got sticky fingers he inherited up
The ones that violated me act like he caring enough
Fuck out my face, nigga (Oh-ah)
(Ah) And stay home, bitch
We been history from the start
Oh-ah (We been, we been here)
Oh (We been, we been with it)
We been history from the start (Oh, oh)
Oh-ah
From the start (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
From the start (Ah, ah, from, from, from, from)
From the start (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
From the start (Ah, ah, from the top)
From the start (Ah, ah, ah, ah; y'all don't, y'all don't wanna hear me)
From the start (Ah, ah, ah, ah; y'all don't, y'all don't wanna hear me)
From the start (Ah, ah, ah, ah; y'all don't, y'all don't wanna hear me)
Y'all don't wanna hear me, man, y'all just wanna dance
Oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah
Ah
We been history from the start
Oh, oh-ah (Oh)
Ah
We been history from the start
Oh, oh-ah
I know my mother tongue real good (Real good)
But that ain't in the world that I live
Just the world that I always daydream of (Dream of)
Speaking in code, got my grandmother nose and my motherfuckin' feet up
And the roosters and hens in my eardrum
I listen to them when I need to feel somethin' in my soul
But I don't got much time 'fore that all fades to black
And I open my eyes and I'm back up in Babylon (Oh)
My dystopian home, where I turned small to grown
Without knowing a clue 'bout the land I belong (I belong)
Oh-ah

Oh-ah (Oh)
