The African Way

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

It's the African way What more can I say

It's the African way

Live from Revolution radio, welcome East Africa's illest Mwafrika

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

Mwafrika na K'Naan

Canada to Kenya

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
