David Taxin' - Let's Get Encoded Lyrics

Let's get encoded, map our DNA
Welcome to the circle
Bienvenido, Bemvindo, Benvenuto

A child is born let's categorize
Religion race sex and size
Got his father's nose and his mother's eyes
Break out the champagne

They're gonna keep him close to the family
So he don't lose his identity
I got a Labrador he don't like Yorkies
But he's only got a pea brain

Now I'm not Latin but I dance the tango
I'm not Jamaican but I eat the mango
I'm not an Aussie but my boomerang goes
Anywhere that I go

You might be an African and quote Confucius
You might be an Indian, rock to Bruce
You might be an Irishman and eat couscous
Instead of a potato

Now some black folks square dance and do-si-do
The white kids rap and they wear a fro
Latino guitarists are playin' banjo
With Asians on the fiddle
Welcome to the circle
Huanying, bienvenue, elishymesem
Hos Galdin, kalosorisate welkommen

Let's get encoded, map our DNA
Privacy's eroded, security's won the day
Now when you're 1 in 10 billion
Ya can't be categorized away
So let's get encoded, map our DNA

So, have a parade take a holiday
Week or a month, that's OK
Put your heritage upon display
Have a celebration

Now reach in your pocket take out your code
Flash us all your chromosomes
No passports now just your genome
For identification

Welcome to the circle
Dabro parshalavat, shalom, salaam
Kwan young hameeda, aloha, welcome

Let's get encoded, map our DNA
Privacy's eroded, security's won the day
And when you're 1 in 10 billion
Ya can't be categorized away
So let's get encoded, map our DNA
