African Dream |
| Hmm, ayy, ayy, hmm |
| I’m going home when my time come |
| Same place weh di River Nile on |
| Green grass, blue skies and sun |
| Heart a beat like an African drum |
| Ayo, I’m African, although I was born in Los Angeles |
| I gotta get a tat to represent where my family is |
| Get, it’s black skin, black bones, black man |
| From the black planet, black sand, black lamb |
| Back then I woulda been on a ship eating fish |
| Taking weekend trips in the sea to see if I could meet the French |
| Speaking tongues over drums, dancing and singing songs |
| You could see the long, all mother brothers we call |
| Organ, African, I’m back again |
| Like I never left, never did, heaven is Africa |
| I have to show my kids just how old the culture is |
| From California, but I wanna live in Africa |
| Oh, Africa, oh, Africa |
| Oh, Africa, my motherland |
| Ayy, hmm |
| I’m going home when my time come |
| Same place weh di River Nile on |
| Green grass, blue skies and sun |
| Heart a beat like an African drum |
| Africa, mother Africa, home of civilization |
| A cradle, a man kind of birth place of creation |
| Generated from stories, integrated through generations |
| Told by the ancients, you can’t say it’s none greatest |
| Africa, the reign of Egypt, range of my people |
| Disperse through the Earth surface before you could purchase vehicles |
| They greet you on the coast in the boat |
| You can’t believe it, yo, it floats? |
| And you niggas make weapons outta stone? |
| Fuck, you built my homes out the stone too |
| And a statue of me 'cause I wanna be a king to, shoot |
| We could be buddies, we could trade agriculture and riches from different shores |
| But if you ever cross me, then we would go to war |
| You know the Lord Savior Creator |
| He made His humble specially when the Romans tried to take over the jungles |
| So we stopped in the Middle East, we still can’t get no peace |
| Soon as they see a diamond, they wanna slave us for a piece of Africa |
| Hmm, ayy, ayy, hmm |
| I’m going home when my time come |
| Same place weh di River Nile on |
| Green grass, blue skies and sun |
| Heart a beat like an African drum |
| They call me the homo habilis 'cause I created the habitat |
| Before the great homo erectus invaded half the map |
| He would catch a lion, kill it, and put his head on a stick |
| Just to prove to everyone how strong he really is |
| You can say he lives on the most nurturing continent |
| The fruits and vegetables, long rivers, tall mountains |
| Zebras, cheetahs, elephants, panthers, gorillas |
| The vast deserts, hot summers, cold winters |
| Man, the sister brought me back to my genes, African Eve had to teach the |
| mother of agriculture a couple things |
| Like we could speak English, European, Chinese |
| And my continent is the second largest you ever seen |
| Red, black, yellow and green |
| Land man, sun in the trees, the first kings, the first human beings |
| The first everything, afros, cornrows, bald heads and long dreads |
| All said they were all bred in Africa |
| Oh, Africa, oh, Africa |
| Oh, Africa, my motherland |
| Oh, Africa, oh, Africa |
| Oh, Africa, we plan to stand |
| Hmm, ayy, ayy, hmm |
| I’m going home when my time come |
| Same place weh di River Nile on |
| Green grass, blue skies and sun |
| Heart a beat like an African drum |
| Heart a beat, heart a beat |
| Heart a beat like an African drum |
| Heart a beat, heart a beat |
| Heart a beat like an African drum |
| Oh, Africa, oh, Africa |
| Oh, Africa, my motherland |
| Oh, Africa, oh, Africa |
| Oh, Africa, we plan to stand |
