Three Little Birds - triple j Like A Version by Phillybloco Lyrics
[Intro: Jayden Lillyst]
Woke up this morning
Smile at the rising sun
Three little birds
Sit at my doorstep
Singin’ sweet songs
Melodies pure and true
Sing baby
This is my message to you-ou-ou
[Verse 1: Philly]
Hey
Here's a celebration for the people of the world
All the black boys and all the white girls
Haitians, Caucasians, Jamaicans, Asians
No matter what your race or the flag that you're raising
And at times I don't even hate a racist
Ignorance is bliss and that's just what they were raised in
If you're religious pray for 'em at the end of the day
There's nothing you can say to 'em, okay
Either way I'm gonna fight for brighter days
This world is our place so we gotta find a way
To a race discrimination, it may be a long road just be patient
Peace love and unity is all I wanna see in our communities
Give the youth a chance to just shine like jewellery
Power to the peaceful, that's cool with me
Eddie Mabo had this dream this is like his eulogy
[Chorus: Jayden Lillyst (Philly)]
Don’t worry
About a thing (nah, hey, hey)
Every little thing
Gon' be all right (it's gonna be all right, yeah)
Don’t worry
About a thing (don't worry)
Every little thing
Gon' be all right
[Verse 2: Philly]
This is sixty-thousand plus years
See, my bloodline strong, got nothing to fear
Got the heart of a warrior, mind of a hunter
Eyes of Bunjil, got the strength from my mother
Shout out to all the sisters and the brothers
Uncles and aunties, mothers and fathers
I hold it down for you all you can trust in me
And I'll carry the torch just wait and see
I may be just a young emcee
But my dreams they reach as far as eyes can see
Look, I'm feeling complete with Nike's on my feet
But I still feel connected to the land underneath
Uh, you feel the beating of my heart
Now you know there's kids been up fighting from the start
Three colours on my flag is what I live by
Just know, that were gonna be all right, hey
[Chorus: Jayden Lillyst (Philly)]
Don’t worry
About a thing (yeah, yeah)
Every little thing
Gon' be all right (it's gonna be all right, yo)
Don’t worry
About a thing (hey, hey)
Every little thing
Gon' be all right
[Verse 3: Philly]
Now, it don't matter if you’re black, white, yellow, pink or green
When you look at me before the colour of my skin all you should see is another human being
Now with that being said don't you think that we should all be treated equal?
But I'm so clear with my thoughts sometimes that they must be see-through
See I'm just tryna reach you and hopefully teach you
This is my attempt of planting an idea in your mind
So then you can help the next person that may seem a little blind
See I feel an emcee like me has the key to unlock closed minds
And all that will happen in due time
So until then just shine, and remember
Everything's gonna be alright
[Chorus: Jayden Lillyst (Philly)]
Don’t worry (hey)
About a thing
Every little thing
Gon' be all right (it's gonna be all right, yo)
Don’t worry
About a thing (don't worry)
Every little thing
Gon' be all right
Woke up this morning
