Who of us can do it when no one's doing it?
The words, they echo in the hood, but no one hears it
All I have; all I'm proving to you again
Saw an open door, so I walked in; you see my name now
but who can see stars from where you're standing?
Gave an open book and each page means that you
will never ever say sorry
'Cause my roots make me real
Made dreams out of a feeling
Tell it from the heart
'Cause my roots make me real
Made dreams out of a feeling
Tell it from the heart
Who of us can do it when no one's doing it?
The words, they echo in the hood, but no one hears it
All I have; all I'm proving to you again
So I took my stand in spite of everything that you went through
So much stronger than we realized
Remember my name, I feel like Araweelo
I am proud of what I have in my blood
'Cause my roots make me real
Made dreams out of a feeling
Tell it from the heart
'Cause my roots make me real
Made dreams out of a feeling
Tell it from the heart
Who, if not I, can?
Who, if not I, can?
Who, if not I-...
Say, who, if not I, can?
'Cause my roots make me real
Made dreams out of a feeling
Tell it from the heart
'Cause my roots make me real
Made dreams out of a feeling
Tell it from the heart
