we celebrate ft. La-RN Lyrics

Everyday

We celebrate

Light up the sage and begin the meditation

Today we're elevating

Those who braved the waves

Who faced the pain

Who paved the way

We're here today

Cos what they overcame

Forever grateful

Never negate you

We dedicate this to

Everything and everyone who overcame

Who came to this place

No blacks

No dogs

No Irish

Faced hatred everyday

Can't rent

Can't even vent

Bent over backwards spent Working three jobs just to get spat in the face

And told to go back to where we came

Hurdles placed in our way

Like Hansle we handle them with such grace

Kunta Kente when he jumped the broom

We turn tragedy to triumph

Burn pressure into diamonds

This is what we do

Nights out, couldn't get into the bars

So we'd bring it back to ours

Plastic sheets, finest crockery displayed out in the yard

Bring a bottle, forget your troubles, tonight we gon' party hard

This is to

All those that moved

Across the waves

Who paved the way

We're here today

Cos what they overcame

So we celebrate

Yeahhh

We celebrate

Those who went through heaven's gate

Those whose hearts were feather weight

Those who had to immigrate

Who never hesitate to give when it comes to crunch time

To all the aunties and uncles who weren't even blood-tied

To all those who helped us along the way

We knocked at your door

You fixed a hot plate

Nothing to eat but you'd turn scraps into a fat feast

Saltfish, callaloo pattie with some ackee

You were the unsung sheroes and heroes of our community

What ever happened to the unity?

To the days when we used to live more communally?

Remembering those who made it feel how it used to be

It takes a village

We feel your spirit

Wherever we go we know your with us

We celebrate you through the flow and through the eternal rhythm

We let it go

Let Spirit do what it's gotta do

Today we give it up to you

This is to

All those that moved

Across the waves

Who paved the way

We're here today

Cos what they overcame

So we celebrate

Yeahhh

Just move with it

Groove with it

Pop with it

Lock with it

Let this beat

Move your feet

Don't stop til you drop

And everytime your head bops

Better give props

Cos this is hip hop, is it not?

Just move with it

Groove with it

Pop with it

Lock with it

Let this beat

Move your feet

Don't stop til you drop

And everytime your head bops

Better give props

Cos this is hip hop, is it not?

This is to

All those that moved

Across the waves

Who paved the way

We're here today

Cos what they overcame

So we celebrate

Yeahhh

This is to

All those that moved

Across the waves

Who paved the way

We're here today

Cos what they overcame

So we celebrate

Yeahhh
