STREET GOSPEL (feat. NOVA the GREAT) - King G5

Hello, this is Charles Bradley An old brother from the hard licks of life That knows that America is my home America, you've been real honest, hurt and sweet to me But I wouldn't change it for the world Just know that all the pains that I've been through It made me stronger, To stand strong that know America Represents love for all humanity and the world I say from my heart God Bless America My home, sweet home God Bless America My home, sweet home

When I was younger My daddy told me I would never Never amount to nothing special He'd come at me from every angle He'd say You're the last thing I wanted, the last thing I need How am I gonna answer when my friends tell me My son was kissing boys in the street? He tried to change me Said I'm embarrassing my country How could I do this to my family? Do I wanna grow up being lonely He'd say We've worked for our money, we put you in school Is this how you repay us, do you think this is cool? My son, stop kissing boys in the street My son, stop kissing boys in the street Now that I'm older My daddy's heart's a little warmer But he still won't hug me like my brother And he still won't kiss me like my mother He'd say You're a part of this family, I made you myself But the way that you act isn't good for your health My son, stop kissing boys in the street My son, stop kissing boys in the street My daddy's dying And he's finally realized I'm not lying We sit in silence but we're smiling Because for once we are not fighting He says There was no way of knowing 'cause all I was taught Is men only love women, but now I'm not sure My son, keep kissing boys in the street My son, keep kissing boys in the street When I'm gone, keep kissing boys in the street
