[Verse 1:]* |
|
I take it home |
|
I take [? ] |
|
Don't think about it, just take it from my rule, it's done |
|
I am sick about it |
|
I feel like I am surviving alone |
|
I got a record and I am not afraid of cops at all |
|
I am like a Ja-Rule poster, cause I am off the wall |
|
Yo, basically the revolution is here |
|
K'Naan and Mwafrika, there's no solution and fair |
|
Yeap, I'm taking it back like clothes that don't fit |
|
That you purchased in a happy-make-home and old shit |
|
I'm so sick my rhyme book throws a fit |
|
I need a vaccination just so I can spit my own shit |
|
Hard to be, when I release these rhymes out of me |
|
I am so ridiculous, I got to compose this |
|
I am sorta a reporter strapped to a little recorder |
|
The warder having a order not to let me in, in order |
|
For me not to cause a slaughter |
|
Lyrically, I am flowing water |
|
Take it easy on me suckers |
|
Harrass more niggas then a sleazy undercover |
|
But seriously, I remember when I was 7 |
|
When rap came mysteriously and made me feel 11 |
|
It understood me, and made my ghetto heaven |
|
I understood it as the new poor people's weapon |
|
But now it tap ass like a chick with one butt cheek |
|
Dusty foot philosopher came to change things, trust me |
|
From Ethiopia, Tanzania, Somalia |
|
Heathrow airport and customs in Laguardia |
|
Uganda, Kenya, my people, up in Ghana |
|
Kingston, Jamaica, big up, because you know it's time for the African way |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
It's the African way (5x) |
|
What more can I say |
|
It's the African way (5x) |
|
Live from Revolution radio, welcome East Africa's illest Mwafrika |
|
[Verse 2: ~Mwafrika~ {Rap}] |
|
Na watu wameng'ara ma mini na nini |
|
Kushinda wakizifuruta chini na chini |
|
Utashindwa maana yao kuzivaa ni nini |
|
Vumbi wakati wa jua matope wakati wa mvua |
|
Potholes huwa ni lazima kawaida kwa njia |
|
Nairobi city mji wa Mathree fiti fiti |
|
Boardi zimejazwa graffiti |
|
Ndani speaker biggi biggie za kulipua hiyo muziki |
|
Na AK47 ndio utacheki kwa mikono ya polisi |
|
Wala kutafoutisha na wezi si kitu rahisi |
|
Wote wanataka pesa yako |
|
Na ukikataa wataichukua toka kwa mfuko wako |
|
Bling bling nazo huwanga kwa mashing za ma MC |
|
Na hata nazo kushine kwa MIC bado hawawezi |
|
Na ikiwa sauti yangu yangu ikiwa unlimited kwa vichwa zao empty |
|
Nikiwaambia hata waking'ara NiKE kwa usahihishi wa lyriksi hawataona hiyo tiki |
|
Mwafrika na K'naan Canada to Kenya |
|
Hatubabaiki |
|
Cause we doin' it like |
|
[Repeat Chorus:] |
|
Mwafrika na K'Naan |
|
Canada to Kenya |
|
[Verse 3:] |
|
I got a plan to reclaim all of my fam |
|
I got brothers in Japan now that order my damn |
|
I got record-propelled spit more [? ] |
|
I heard hip hop started with (sorta death scam) |
|
A lot of people is ignorant and don't understand |
|
They separate it and they celebrate it (part of the plan) |
|
I got my people consider [? ] |
|
I break a needle in pieces and eat them like reeses |
|
Y'all are just cheesing |
|
Y'all are hate |
|
Y'all are just teasing |
|
Y'all don't believe in the African (y'all just sleeping) |
|
I am sick and tired |
|
I am on a riot |
|
I'm [? ] |
|
Rap it, like a lion [? ] (taste me) |
|
I am so ridiculous, can you believe how vivid this shit is |
|
Got theories like conspiracists, this shit is sick |
|
A lyricist before I even spoke a word of English |
|
I'm serious |
|
I got it locked and y'all are just visitors |
|
Just get busy |
|
And snap your neck back and forth till you get busy |
|
And tell your mother, tell your brother and tell your Aunt Lizzy |
|
And you know you got to know some things before you get with me |
|
Just break it down |
|
Before I was born, I knew I was the shit |
|
I used to kick so much, I was born with a broken hip |
|
I had a twin brother, I used to battle day in |
|
But I was so sick, the little nigga stayed in |
|
I knew the doctor was shocked when I was first dropped |
|
Cause I had a gold chain, a fade and a high tie |
|
Be buoyant, rocking around, ego destroying |
|
I won't chill, till I hear the people enjoying |
|
[Repeat Chorus: {Till Fade}] |
