Song | Africa's Inside Me |
Artist | Arrested Development |
Album | Greatest Hits |
作词 : Sample, Thomas | |
Universal as | |
I stroll down the street | |
Africas's a bolling over flowing inside of me | |
Jerry A Jerry curl but as time passed it didn't last after my curl | |
I never combed my doo. | |
I used to sport a cap but the naps kept shining through. | |
Shining! My sista got a brand new perm my boys says she looks pretty fine body real firm folds at her job loves her new touch up | |
I can tell her white boss gets a kick when she's all done up. | |
My sista loves her blackness but the | |
US. says that her perm is her attractiveness. | |
But Africa keeps coming stronger-we found out it ain't a perm it's a temporary | |
Don't heve sash to go to the music school no money for the guitar or the violin or the tuba my moms had a record player and the 45's | |
I put the needle on the record and | |
I kicked it crazy live scratching it up catching the breaks spirits within me had me do what it takes | |
Grammy's I win & one again like my | |
Egyptian kin it's | |
Africa within makin' something outta nothing! | |
CHORUS: (x2) | |
Africa's inside me taking back her child she's giving me my pride and setting me free. | |
What's that land across those waters? what's that spirit makin'love to my daughter telling her not to eat he mama's ham hocks allowing her the choice to twist her hair & make it lock. yo | |
I don't like it, | |
I just don't like it. | |
Papa may say buy my soul is a boilin' and sooner or later | |
Africa's glory and toil will teach an old dog new tricks | |
Why and the world can't everybody recognize that | |
Africa's in everybody? we all ask why can't we be sista's and brothers but first we gotta accept who is our mother | |
Rather embracer of the jungle or ghetto melanin dwells but could stop growth and developments | |
Arrested for nothing | |
Gumbo's within' soulful | |
H20 men be droppin' | |
Happenin's like | |
Homosapians | |
Hustlins within' to exist as afro | |
USA...men residing in | |
Fulani was once | |
Christian. | |
Start fishin' like | |
FOS and found origin! | |
CHORUS |
