[Chorus:]   Keep ya head to the sky [x4]   (every man gotta story to tell bout how the made it into this World)      Back in 1965 in motherlands street cafe   where young men were sitting down   drinking coffee 'till this brother came in   u could tell by the look at his face   that he had something that he wanted to share   a story told by a brother to another   'bout heaven, a lotta money and beer   see everybody who gathered around this special man that sunny night   left the café with a dream about being the one to reach this paradise   among these playas was guy who came from the country side   in love with a beautiful city girl   but didn't have what her daddy required   and since life was to pour, land was too dry   he decided to pack his suitcase   and leave without ever saying bye   couldn't look at his mother   'cause she didn't want him to leave her sweet motherland   but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do   so he said "mamma" I'll be back again"   the he crossed the sea in the words of God   hoping to get on the right way   get his part, meet his demands, pray   fulfill his heart, taking a chance, grow   all alone in the whole new world      [Chorus:]      A new beginning   as soon as he touched ground    he heard a sound saying his life was about to turn upside down   as fast as he could he got settled with some fellow country men   who had already giving in for gambling alcohol and women   but they were all in the same boat   Left home with the same hope   learned from each others mistakes and then they coped   Mr. dishwasher factory worker   compared to where he came from this job right here was pure luxury   he was no fool though   shit he used his mind as his tool   working his ass of all day at nighttime he went to school   language is power as the years flew on by   he went back home made the love of his life his wife   talking about good shit now lets talk about something bad   lets talk about this fucked up situation one night he had   police pulled him over   thought he was drunk when he was sober   then they thought the car was stolen when in reality it was his Rover   Mr. officer why u harassing my ass   I pulled u over because u black ass was going too fast   suddenly insecurity came upon his face like a flash   was this really the type of future he would like his kids to have      See daddy came   Daddy saw   Daddy took   Daddy got what he gave   A new home and new fam   And a new working place is what he gained   Gave his kids what he didn't have as a child   "U go for the gold"   The opportunity to be whatever they may desire   "U get on a role"   bilingual and beautiful   could there be a sweeter pie   I think not   But I let u decide   In the future   Inshallah      [Chorus:]
