lyrics

MORE OF THIS LAND
Words and music by Shelley Hamilton

I am more of this land than you
I am more of this land than you You may think that I have no claim But I am more of this land than you
I am royalty, and I strut with pride
I am royalty, and I strut with pride
I have a crown, jewels of black red & brown I am royalty and I strut with pride
So whatcha gonna do whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do? Say I ain’t here? Well, let me make myself clear, we’re all here (yeah, we’re ALL HERE!!)
Whatcha gonna do whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do? Say I ain’t here?... Well, let me make myself clear...!
I am more of this land than you
I am more of this land than you Look at me – I’m the future’s truth I am more of this land than you
So whatcha gonna do whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do? Say I ain’t here? Well, let me make myself clear, we’re all here (yeah, we’re ALL HERE!!)
Whatcha gonna do whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do? Say I ain’t here?... Well, let me make myself clear...!
I am more of this land than you
I am more of this land than you
Look at me – I’m the future’s truth
Now you see me, and I’m telling you – come on now We are all this land it’s true
But I am more
Just a little bit more...!
I am more of this land than you
