	Story Behind the Song My Uncle Johnny has a saying, "Yamala, ching a ling!" Nobody really knows what it means, but it sounds like a cool thing... Yamala was written while I was touring down in Alabama in 1999. It was one of those blessed moments where the entire song fell out of the pen completed in about 5 minutes! Lyrics I know Im a sinner, Lord, Im a son of a man And Ive smoked mother nature and stole from Uncle Sam From the thoughts in my head, to the things that I have done To the city inside the moon, trippin with Uncle John So Yamala, Ching-a-ling! Ive live beneath the bridges And in castles made of stone And Ive walked through the gardens Way down in East Babylon Ive slept in your bed all day long And Ive looked down on the night, flying high Lord, Im scared of losing But Im not afraid to die So Yamala, Ching-a-ling! Im not afraid to say, Im losing ground everyday Sometimes Im weak in the knees But how can I sleep through these crazy dreams? When Im flying so close, so close to the trees Yamala, Ching-a-ling!
