Native Tongue

Lyrics

[Verse 1] How can they say that it's one way When it's the opposite? How can they know the end of the story Before I tell it? 'Cause when I walk, your feet, they fall To the same beat Or maybe we're from two different worlds But we got our own language [Pre-Chorus] We talk to people, but they never understand They think we're crazy 'cause it sounds like noise [Chorus] When we're speaking in our native Speaking in our native tongue We're speaking in our native Speaking in our native tongue [Verse 2] We used to live like we were strangers We didn't know any better We didn't fit in with the out crowd So we gave in and we shut our mouths But, oh, I love your history And I can take it And when you talk in code to me I can translate it [Pre-Chorus] We talk to people, but they never understand They think we're crazy 'cause it sounds like noise to them Ain't it strange all the things you hear When you sit and listen? [Chorus] We're speaking in our native Speaking in our native tongue We're speaking in our native Speaking in our native tongue And all this time, I've been wasting my breath Just wasting my words on everyone else Now I'm speaking in my native Speaking in my native tongue [Bridge] So come on Talk it out So come on Talk it out So come on and talk, talk, talk, talk, talk Talk it out, your voice, it brought me back from the dead (Somehow) So come on and talk, talk, talk, talk, talk Talk it out, out, out, out [Chorus] Speaking in our native Speaking in our native tongue We're speaking in our native Speaking in our native tongue (You know I speak in my native) And all this time, I've been wasting my breath Just wasting my words on everyone else (You know I speak in my native) Now I'm speaking in my native Speaking in my native tongue
