| Vans on my feet so you know I’m on my grind
|
| Nikkas, real nikkas, by my side
|
| Bad boys for life we ride we ride or die
|
| Show no emotion to these muh fukas
|
| Raw, everyday all day so we don’t cry
|
| New niggas try to get with the crew
|
| They feel the vibe my dick ain’t bus so u can’t ride alright
|
| I know it looks like we living the life
|
| But this is africa boy we livin a lie
|
| Look at me african american accent
|
| Cuz the culture in my city is absent
|
| So my dream is based on jay-z's experience of life
|
| Money is what I pray on my family is who I lay on
|
| Momma gave my crayons so since a kid I’m drawing mansions
|
| We envy the rich and never be rich
|
| Envy sick rappers and never be sick
|
| That’s our destiny but I’m going against the odds
|
| I can see a bright in between the fogs
|
| I can see every princess kissing the frogs
|
| I can see all my nikkas names on these blogs
|
| African boys
|
| But people look at us and make noise like
|
| Chorus (Carmen)
|
| He’s running, he’s crying, he’s scared
|
| African Boy
|
| Save this African boy (2x)
|
| Verse 2 (Bala de Prata)
|
| Code of conducts you see him with a tie on
|
| He is trying to follow ethics but hidden is the lion
|
| His Ambition is alive he believes he is going to die young
|
| Sleeps nights, wrinkled face can’t be ironed
|
| He has been going after money he ignores the sunset
|
| His mom can’t remember the last time her son sat
|
| And the day he is going to get it he is never going to come back
|
| Small hustlers ambition he has been there done that
|
| He wants to be that rapper, married to an actress
|
| Tools on his jeans the microphone is an asset
|
| Whatever he has seen he is going to have access
|
| He is on big dreams so he bought a bigger mattress
|
| Citizen of the world yeah, he has been trying to Immigrate
|
| He ain’t never seen afraid, he says, so
|
| Fuck the world boy I am just about to penetrate
|
| Chorus (Carmen) |
