We Are the Culture

[Intro]

M-M-M-Mal-Ski!

Whole city, indeed

We are the culture

Whole city, indeed

Man, how you finna hate whatever God got planned? (We are the culture)

How I'm 'posed to chase what I already am? (We are the culture, whole city)

We are the culture, huh

[Verse 1]

What up, 'cuz? You got 'em loving you fumbling throwing dubs in Dublin

Uh, what up, blood? You got 'em flying in just to say they been to Bompton

Uh, what up homes? You originated teardrops on our faces

Uh, what up uce? Now even the cartoons got tribal tattoos

We ain't worried about y'all, whatever y'all got in stores

Make the thing hot, whatever we say goes

Uh, one time for the vatos, the [?]

One time for the homegrown, the West coast

Them your dances in Cortezes and T-stances

Pendleton stickies, white tees with starch creases

Yeah, that's you, jaina with the winged eyeliner

You should tell the fashion blog, "My tía did it before you!"

[Pre-Chorus]

Man, we all just a kid from somewhere

A part of town, a hood or street or avenue, oh yeah

You muscle up your hustle, taking every advances

Now the whole world doing your dances

[Chorus]

We are the culture, whole city

We are the culture, whole city

We are the culture

Man, how you finna hate whatever God got planned?

How I'm 'posed to chase what I already am? (We are the culture, whole city)

We are the culture

[Verse 2]

What up pops? We finna pull up, that vinyl collection hot

Uh, what up moms? You raising the kids the definition of strong

Damelo, dimelo, pasale Modelo, I'm finna school you in dominoes

Y'all can't call it, y'all drip is Farrah Fawcett

I'll flip, I'd like to see 'em try to stop it

We ain't worried about y'all, whatever y'all got in stores

We make the thing hot, whatever we say goes

Yeah, one time for the waymakers, the truthsayers

One time for the pennypinchers, the old Lakers

One time for the single mamas and no drama

One time for that working girl, work it girl

One time for the day laborers with fake papers

For the daddys whose kids got the same daddy

[Pre-Chorus]

Man, we all just a kid from somewhere

A part of town, a hood or street or avenue, oh yeah

You muscle up your hustle, taking every advances, uh

Now the whole world doing your dances (We are the culture)

[Verse 3]

One time for the immigrants, working stiffs

The coal miner, the school teacher, the Uber driver

School dropped out, but never stop learning

Firefighter, you know Cali stay burning

One time for the one time that show respecto

They pull up, then dap up, then veterano

One time for the living word in Adobo

One time for the killipino Efechto

One time

[Chorus]

We are the culture, indeed

We are the culture, whole city

Man, how you finna hate whatever God got planned? (We are the culture, whole city)

How I'm 'posed to chase what I already am? (We are the culture, whole city)

We are the culture
