……You don’t want to hear🙉 me speaking English I am the Aztec eagle 🦅🌎🦅 América
RUMI ~ I AM NOT THIS SKIN ~ I LIVE WITHIN
I AM NOT THIS SKIN ~ WE ARE SOURCE WITHIN
I AM NOT THIS SKIN ~ WE ARE SOURCE WITHIN
My Daddy was workin’ nine to five
When my Momma was havin’ me
By the time I was half alive
They knew what I was gonna be
But I left school and grew my hair
They didn’t understand
They wanted me to be respected as
A doctor or a lawyer man
(But I had other plans)
Gonna be a rock ‘n’ roll singer
Gonna be a rock ‘n’ roll star
Gonna be a rock ‘n’ roll singer
I’m gonna be a rock ‘n’ roll
A rock ‘n’ roll star
