Lyrics:
Presented by Walmart: A song to promote literacy
Also featuring Sara Evans, Martina McBride, Kenny Chesney, and Brooks and
Dunn
Phil: A little boy
wouldn't be caught dead
Don't make sense to the neighbors, don't look good on paper
And sure don't make sense in my head
But I got a heart like a wheel
to pace
Bet you can tell by the look of my face
It's clear that life is at a different pace
Bana Congo tu la muka
Wake up congolese people
Mona ese ele mo
Go rogue, O.J. in the Bronco
OG got me higher than LeBron go
Got drums coming live from the Congo
You can say what you want, but I'm on though
Two
This is for Nilot man, this is for the Bantu, the Cushitic man,
This is for down-trodden, The child in the mine in the Congo man,
This is for
you live in the dark
Shit you can finally see
Congo voodoo
This that catch fetiche
See what I just did
We call that a CATCH RELEASE
When I jump in this
Body full of shaking nerves Forest full of deadly birds
Predators sit and observe Got me swinging by the trees
Don't you worry bout me, I'm just
Right now I carry with me
The story of 1000 centuries
That spans from Africa to the Pacific Seas
I am Yoruba and Congo
Zamboanga and Ilonggo
pick it all up piece by piece.
And the wheel goes round and round.
And the flame in our souls will never burn out.
And the wheel, and the wheel goes
The wheels of life are turning so much faster
The restless hands of time pass me by
There are dreams I'll never live to see
But as long as you
first steps off the river
On to the banks, banks, banks, banks, banks, banks
I said, little babies, by way of some reed, some reed, some reeds
Some reeds
I bongo with my lingo
Beat it like a wing yo
From congo to columbo
Can't stereo-type my thing yo
I salt and pepper my mangos
Shoot, spit out
The car parked by it'self
I took my hand off the wheel
I don't want to smoke if it ain't the dope
That ain't no tooka if it ain't a choke
I don't ride
Break 'em on the wheel
Break 'em on the wheel
Turn by turn
Turn by turn
Break 'em on the wheel
Break 'em on the wheel
Turn by turn
Turn by turn
runnin' with the pack
By the time I shut my trap you know I couldn't take it back
It's the way we set the wheels in motion
I said that's the way we
The wheel of fortune
Goes spinning around
Will the arrow point my way?
Will this be my day?
Oh, wheel of fortune
Please don't pass me by
Let
constricted, on my soul that they call
Touched by the wheels of steel (steel)
Now show me how you feel (feel)
Touched by the wheels of steel (steel)
Now
hear you calling me by her name
CH
I'm tired of being your sideshow
But if I don't I'll never see you again
It's like I'm walking a tightrope
And I've
is waiting just for you
Spinning Wheel spinning true
Drop all your troubles by the river side
Catch a painted pony on the spinning wheel ride
The wheel of fortune
Goes spinning around
Will the arrow point my way?
Will this be my day?
Oh, wheel of fortune
Please don't pass me by
Let
human-hindered eyes
Unequal to the sweeping curve of life
Stand on this single print of time
Human wheels spin round and round
While the clock keeps the pace
The wheel of fortune,
Goes spinnin' around.
Will the arrow point my way.
Will this be my day.
Oh, wheel of fortune,
Please don't pass me by
a wheel in a wheel
Well, I wouldn't mind dyin' a child of God
By and by we're going to see the king
By and by we're going to see the king
By and by we're
too many nights
if I can't get it wrong at least get it right
my heart surrounded by I shield
I look inside my fate is sealed
wheels within wheels
