Lyrics

[Intro]
[African chant vocals: Eh-eh-wayoh]
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
From the red soil to where I'm heading now (Eh-eh)
Got my people's spirit living now (Way-oh)
Every step I take is blessing ground (Eh-eh)
Can't forget the path that brought me round
[Verse 1]
Started in the village, mama praying
Every morning, sun rays painting
Learning from the elders, they were saying
"Keep your head up when the world's weighing"
Now I'm on the rise but still I'm staying
True to what my ancestors praying (Oh-oh)
Got the rhythm in my blood just playing
Watch me turn this pain to gaining
[Pre-Chorus]
They don't know where I come from (No)
But they feel it when I run, run
[Chorus]
From the red soil to where I'm heading now (Eh-eh)
Got my people's spirit living now (Way-oh)
Every step I take is blessing ground (Eh-eh)
Can't forget the path that brought me round
[Bridge]
[Traditional drums intensify]
My roots run deep (Deep, deep)
Through earth so sweet (Sweet, sweet)
The old ways speak (Speak, speak)
Through every beat (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
Now they see me rising, can't deny it
Village wisdom keep me flying
Every move I make is timed with
Ancient rhythms, still surviving
Mama's words still guide my spirit
When I'm low, I still can hear it
"Son, remember where you came from"
Now the whole world gonna learn some
[Chorus]
From the red soil to where I'm heading now (Eh-eh)
Got my people's spirit living now (Way-oh)
Every step I take is blessing ground (Eh-eh)
Can't forget the path that brought me round
[Outro]
