We Culture (feat. Nezi Momodu) Song Lyrics

We culture, we the real rock stars
You take what we make, then try to say it's not ours
We culture, who we are is art
You can imitate, but what's in our hearts
We culture, we the real rock stars
You take what we make, then say it's not ours
But we're culture, who we are is art
You can imitate, but can't remake what's in our hearts
We culture

You love our culture, hate our people
Dub us vulgar, imitate what we do
Lunch on the hors d'oeuvres like it's the way to feed you
Grinning and sinning while we give you the things you feast to
We taught drums to talk, we hummed and waltzed
Strummed without pause, even when hung and mauled
The chains you gave could constrain our song
When we sang our songs, the world sang along
So when you see these things on TV screens
Your children perceive these themes and believe in we
We see-somewhere in America Miley twerking
We see-under that mascara Kylie's wants to be a black person
Puckering their lips and shuttering their hips lining their purses while it suited their purpose
Being black adjacent may take you places
You can imitate it, but cannot duplicate it

We culture, we the real rock stars
You take what we make, then try to say it's not ours
