Whoever sees me doesn't really know
They see my mother's gaze
That she inherited from my grandfather
Whoever sees me sees my father
That my father inherited from his father
Who inherited from his father even before birth
I'm a bit of the essence of so many people
I'm a mix of so many different things
Coming from so many places, my fate is authentic, it's mixed
Just like my grandfather was
Whoever looks to understand me
Doesn't just glimpse my parents
Whoever sees me finds the mountains
Of my grandfather's grandfather
Who went from land to land and war to war
And who unintentionally shaped me
I'm a bit of the essence of so many people
I'm a mix of so many different things
Coming from so many places, my fate is authentic, it's mixed
Just like my grandfather was
Just like my grandfather was
Whoever sees me doesn't really know
Whoever sees me doesn't really know
I'm a bit of the essence of so many people
I'm a mix of so many different things
Coming from so many places, my fate is authentic, it's mixed
Just like my grandfather was
Just like my grandfather was
Just like my grandfather was
