African Boy |
| 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) |
