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
