rap:

the boys

we're just chillin' with Earth, Wind & Fire

this is my desire

talking 'bout culture

I'm a vulture

just like the beat



chillin' with Earth, Wind & Fire



everybody take a look around

what do you see

when I look

there's faces everywhere

lookin' back at me

their eyes keep telling me stories

don't understand

in my mind

there's many, many questions

bout who I am



bridge:

just be proud of the land

where your blood comes from

no one can take away

what you have done

hold your head up high

cultures stand eye to eye

one people living under one sun



chorus:

be proud

sing it out loud

take your rightful place

it's you heritage

so stand tall

don't be small

show true face

it's your heritage



everybody walks a little different

to keep the pace

gotta have pride

just to be a winner

in the human race

in school, the rules don't fly

out on the street, tell me why

people of the nation can't feel the same beat



bridge



chorus



bridge:

we're living in a colorful world

all shades of love

each carrying a ray of hope

sent down from above



rap:

yo Marice: break it down for me allright

The Boys chillin' wit Earth, Wind and Flames

they asked us to sing a few notes

so we came

realized the meaning of the song

so we sung

with all our heart and soul

and hopefully we brung

a message to all

to not be small

to stand up tall

and to give it your all

let's have a ball y'all

pump it up!



chorus
