Islands In My Blood

I got all his in my blood. I got islands in my blood and my heartbeat drum From the mouth to the reef, that is where I am from Every trade, one word, every wave I see Keep reminding me who I'm meant to be I got islands in my blood, can I wash that out? Even far from the shore, I still walk there out If you feel that love when your bare feet land Throw a shocker to the sky, this our homeland We growin' with the rain here, hot tin roof With the honey-speak truth, with a lil' reproof Slippers by the door, no shoes inside Whole house smell like rice and pride Bus stop bench with the whole crew posted Talk story to the whole sun roasted You learn, young, share, play, share time Never leave boys when they stuck in the climb We did not have much, but we had to Had that ocean view when the rent felt due Learned thank you first, I could not help next Even when the bills hit like bad text Tourists coming for the three-day tan And they bounce but the love still stay in the land You can tell by the way we hold each hand We do not just live here, we part of this sand Every hill, every street, every back road turn Put that island fire in the way This our homeland Some of us had to leave just to chase that bread Concrete jungle playing tricksy yeah City lights bright but the soil filled them Mr. Salt on your skin when the day grows slim Face time calls with the fan back home Tryna hold tears when you live alone But you still wrap heart in your hoodie and chain Tell them one day I am back on that plane Others still here grinding paycheck then But they never stop giving from the place within Coach to keep Fire up the grill when the world goes dark You see struggle and love on the same old block But the culture stands tall like a lava rock We are the ones who keep that light turned up Past the flame when the kids come up So when I feel lost in the noise and smoke I just think of home in my chest untouched I got islands in my blood and my heart beat drum From the mountains to the reefs That is where I am from Every trade, one word, every way walk that route if you feel that love when your bare feet land throw a shotgun to the sky We been built for the ways in the wind It's for the ones who stay, the ones who have to go The ones who dream of coming back If your heartbeat matched the tide, you already know You carry home inside you I got islands in my blood and my heartbeat drawn from the mountains When I walk through the crowd if you feel that too When your bare feet land though a shocker to the sky, it's all in Wherever you go Whoever you become Do not forget the peace that taught you how to love DJ profit Highlands in my blood Highlands in my blood
