If You Sing A Song (for Miss Ella) (feat. Uncle Jumbo)

You sing a song and I'll sing a song And we'll sing a song together You sing a song and I'll sing a song Through warm or wintry weather Roll it up, catch a vibe, and then pass It along Where we were once weak, now together We are strong Through call and response, generations In sync Every verse like a chain, join hands, Let's link From the classroom floors to the festival Stages The warmth we create, it could last Generations So my mic and my beats I bring When we open up the circle, everybody can sing, Come on You sing a song and I'll sing A song And we'll sing a song Together You sing a song And I'll sing a song In warm, warm Wintry weather Miss Ella was hip-hop before It had a name Freestyling with kids, clapping in Rhythm games Like a cypher in the park, voice, Lip, and connect From folk to jazz to rap, We pay respect No barriers here, Just a drum and a dream Harmony built like A patchwork seam We remix the roots, Let the soul expand Now that we got the Tools, we can carry out the plan If you sing a song, then I sing a Song Soon everyone will be singing along Whatever The weather, the sun or the storms We gonna Perform, yeah If you sing a song, then I sing a Song Soon everyone will be singing along Whatever The weather, the sun or the storms We gonna Perform Whistle a while I used to be down, Now I hear this and smile I wanted to Throw in the towel But you gave me the Strength to keep going a while I thank you For that This is my gift that I had To give back Sprinkle an offering over the track Shower the elders in all kinds of weather You Brought us together for moments we treasure Thanks For the wisdom you fought through the system To Shine like a prism for all that you gifted Spirits you lifted, folks you assisted Think where This be if you hadn't persisted Or hadn't existed, We shout you forever If you sing a song And I sing a song It's cool, but I Bet ya perhaps a collab could be even better If you sing a song, then I sing a Song Soon everyone will be singing along Whatever The weather, the sun or the storms We gonna Perform, yeah If you sing a song, then I sing a Song Soon everyone will be singing along Whatever The weather, the sun or the storms We gonna Perform I'm speaking in a tone that is not Like so many people do when they meet a Child. They'll be speaking to the parent. Then they go into their falsetto. Well, how are you, David? Well, children don't even speak that way anymore. By speaking to them in a way, personality, You're important and you understand what's going on. You sing a song and I'll sing a song And we'll sing a song together You sing a song and I'll sing a song In warm, warm wintry weather Ella, Ella, Ella, Ella Ella, Ella, Ella, Ella Ella, Ella, Ella, Ella Ella, Ella, Ella, Ella
