| You always run down my things, other people things | |
| You should make your own thing, create your own things | |
| Need to work for your things, some get hurt for their things | |
| See, we live in a world where things running things | |
| And those that seem to run things get run by their things | |
| So you nyam down my things till you've done everything | |
| And you return not a thing so you don't earn not a thing | |
| You wanna kill all these birds with one stone and one sling | |
| Don't wanna see no screwface, no screwface | |
| Wanna see my people dance, my people dance | |
| I wanna see them smile and join their hands | |
| We're africans and we don't do those things | |
| Again, again | |
| No, this is not our way, it's not the way | |
| Badness is not our way, it's not the way | |
| Slackness is not the way, it's not the way | |
| We're africans and we don't do those things | |
| Everybody owe you things but nobody know nothing | |
| Since you know it all, no one can show you things | |
| You hate the birds for their wings | |
| For the melodies they sing | |
| You want the thoughts that I think | |
| You claim the words from this ink | |
| So you milk and you rinse | |
| Down to the bones and the skin | |
| And then I'm supposed to get fling | |
| To the rest of the have been's | |
| Don't get caught, don't get jinxed | |
| It may not be what one thinks | |
| Not everything is gold 'cause it glitters and blings, so | |
| Don't wanna see no screwface, no screwface | |
| Wanna see my people dance, my people dance | |
| I wanna see them smile and join their hands | |
| We're africans and we don't do those things | |
| Again, again | |
| No, this is not our way, it's not the way | |
| Badness is not our way, it's not the way | |
| Slackness is not the way, it's not the way | |
| We're africans and we don't do those things | |
| Situation is a hell of a thing | |
| In this condition that we are living in | |
| It's not the way, it's not the way | |
| We're human beings, we don't do these things | |
| Don't wanna see no screwface, no screwface | |
| Wanna see my people dance, my people dance | |
| I wanna see them smile and join their hands | |
| We're africans and we don't do those things | |
| Again, again | |
| Don't wanna see no screwface, no screwface | |
| Wanna see my people dance, my people dance | |
| I wanna see them smile and join their hands | |
| We're africans and we don't do those things |
