Trembling Inheritance Video (MV)

[Intro]
Hands shakin' like autumn leaves
Papa's fingers can't find the strings no more
But the rhythm lives in me, it lives in me

[Verse 1]
Watch them tremors dance across your hands
While you try to show me how our ancestors played
That kora sound that raised me from a baby
Now it's fadin' like memories in the shade
Doctors talkin' numbers and prescriptions
While our legacy slips through fingers day by day
But I'ma catch every note before it falls
And keep our music breathin' till my dying day, yeah

[Chorus]
These hands still remember (still remember)
Even when they shake, they still remember
Every pattern, every string, every story
I won't let our culture fade to December
Watch me take it further
Like my father and his father before
Even when the strings get harder
I'ma keep our rhythm knockin' at death's door

[Verse 2]
F*ck Parkinson's, it can't steal our soul
Though it's got your hands, it can't take our gold
Every shaky note you play just makes me stronger
Got that ancient wisdom flowin' through my veins
Remember when you told me 'bout the griots
Now I'm spittin' truth while trap beats bang
Mixed the old school with this new wave
Got your kora samples hittin' different ways
They don't understand this pain
When I see you strugglin' with what used to flow
But we africans, we don't break, we grow
Through the storm, through the rain, through the snow

[Bridge]
Your hands may shake (shake)
But your spirit stays strong (strong)
I'm your legacy (legacy)
And this beat carries on

[Verse 3]
Every tremor tells a story
Every struggle writes its chapter in our book
I sample every moment, every memory
Before time tries to steal the way you looked
Got your voice up in the track
Got your kora in the back
Mixed it with these 808s
So our culture stays intact

[Outro]
These hands still remember
These hands still remember
Even when they shake
They still remember
