Africa是inside me

Universal as
I stroll down the street
Africass a bolling over flowing inside of me
Jerry A Jerry curl but as time passed it didnt last after my curl
I never combed my doo.
I used to sport a cap but the naps kept shining through.
Shining! My sista got a brand new perm my boys says she looks pretty fine body real firm folds at her job loves her new touch up
I can tell her white boss gets a kick when shes all done up.
My sista loves her blackness but the
US. says that her perm is her attractiveness.
But Africa keeps coming stronger-we found out it aint a perm its a temporary
Dont heve sash to go to the music school no money for the guitar or the violin or the tuba my moms had a record player and the 45s
I put the needle on the record and
I kicked it crazy live scratching it up catching the breaks spirits within me had me do what it takes
Grammys I win & one again like my
Egyptian kin its
Africa within makin something outta nothing!
CHORUS: (x2)
Africas inside me taking back her child shes giving me my pride and setting me free.
Whats that land across those waters? whats that spirit makinlove to my daughter telling her not to eat he mamas ham hocks allowing her the choice to twist her hair & make it lock. yo
I dont like it,
I just dont like it.
Papa may say buy my soul is a boilin and sooner or later
Africas glory and toil will teach an old dog new tricks
Why and the world cant everybody recognize that
Africas in everybody? we all ask why cant we be sistas and brothers but first we gotta accept who is our mother
Rather embracer of the jungle or ghetto melanin dwells but could stop growth and developments
Arrested for nothing
Gumbos within soulful
H20 men be droppin
Happenins like
Homosapians
Hustlins within to exist as afro
USA...men residing in
Fulani was once
Christian.
Start fishin like
FOS and found origin!
