Speech Debelle – Level lyrics

Stirred the pot and served the food, cookin' ah

If there were nations on earth that built pyramids
And we can send rocket ships to where Ceres is
If we can dig through the crust at the bottom of the sea
Anything is possible in what I can give
Some may question the fact but they do that
Take one step forward and two back
Cause we don’t want to get caught slipping and say the wrong thing
Wake up to a twitter hashtag attack
But everything in moderation there’s bad without the good
Recognize the blessings when I’m doing what I should
You attract what you are my elders told me
We here, we’re cooking, we got the recipe

Let 'em know
What I get back, from the fails and the lessons and the set backs
I believe that, is preparation for the comeback
What I get back, from the fails and the lessons and the set backs
I believe that, is preparation for the comeback,

we cookin' yeah, yeah
we cookin' yeah, yeah
we cookin'

Generation running in and out the kitchen
Auntie calling all trying to get them all to listen
Telling stories putting herbs up in our system
stories 'bout our uncle, we miss him
We know they wanna hide the history so we don’t understand the magic
A lot has been done we trying to heal the damage
Certain people scared, frightened they get panic
Cause we shine so bright that they cannot handle it
So our stories are being told, with a hashtag and tweet from the phone
You attract what you are, my elders told me
We here we’re cooking we got the recipe

Let 'em know
What I get back, from the fails and the lessons and the set backs
I believe that, is preparation for the comeback
What I get back, from the fails and the lessons and the set backs
I believe that, is preparation for the comeback

we cookin'
we cookin'
we cookin'
we cookin'

Yeah, What I get back, from the fails and the lessons and the set backs
I believe that, is preparation for the comeback
What I get back, from the fails and the lessons and the set backs
I believe that, is preparation for the comeback

we cookin' yeah, yeah
we cookin' yeah, yeah
we cookin' yeah, yeah
we cookin' yeah, yeah
we cookin'
