Know what I mean?
Bill Ortiz
Casual
I mean what we are… we are
When I was young I was very insecure
Whenever I heard laughter I thought it was about me
There was something that I seen in myself
That made me have a hard time being myself
I was immature, now and the year after
No man could doubt me
We are what we are
So I just be myself, oppressing BR
No image, just a vivid imagination
Try not to be a living exaggeration
This world that we live in consists of people just like yourself so start giving
I done travelled to earth, seen beautiful things
Abnormal, unusual things
But under God’s sun I’m blessed like you
I don’t dress like you but I’m just like you
We are
We are one, we are
We are the same (yea we are, yea yea)
We are one, we are
We are the same (yea yea yea)
Don’t hate, don’t discriminate
Stand strong, be the one that the bully can’t intimidate
All the hate we disseminate
It’s the real terrorism that we need to eliminate
It’s real love round here cuz
Humility is an ability
You know I’m in, ain’t able
You feeling me? We are what we are but
We can’t just let kids fight like soldiers
And then ignore it, we’re destroying cultures
And we can’t deny what’s happening
Tryin to survive in this economy’s comedy
But it’s nothing to laugh at
Half of the nation’s facing foreclosure
But it’s far from over
We fight for one another cuz we’re just alike
We are one, we are (we are one)
We are the same (we are the same)
We are one, we are
We are the same (yea we are the same)
We are one, we are
We are the same
We are one, we are
We are the same (yea yea yea)
Could you not see the pain?
The agony of things
How do we dare to close our eyes? (How do we dare to close our eyes?)
The youth is running wild (running wild)
But are we in denial?
Where’s the truth behind our lives?
Could you not see the pain?
The agony of things
How do we dare to close our eyes? (How do we dare to close our eyes?)
The youth is running wild (youth is running wild)
But are we in denial?
Where’s the truth behind our lives?
We are one, we are
We are the same
We are one, we are
We are the same
Where my my my my my people
The one and the same, my people
One the same, my people
Well… yea
