歌曲歌詞
Universal as I stroll down the street
Africas a bolling over flowing inside of me
I used to sport a curl made by Jerry
A Jerry curl
But as time passed it didn 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 she 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 ain a perm it a temporary
Don 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 45
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
Grammy I win one again like my Egyptian kin
It Africa within makin something outta nothing
Africa inside me
Taking back her child
She giving me my pride
And setting me free
Africa inside me
Taking back her child
She giving me my pride
And setting me free
What that land across those waters
What that spirit makin love to my daughter
Telling her not to eat he mama ham hocks
Allowing her the choice to
Twist her hair make it lock
Yo I don like it I just don like it
Papa may say buy my soul is a boilin
And sooner or later Africa glory and toil
Will teach an old dog new tricks
Why and the world can everybody
Recognize that Africa in everybody
We all ask why can we be sista 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
Gumbo within soulful H20 men be droppin
Happenin like Homosapians Hustlins
Within to exist as afro USA men
Residing in Fulani was once Christian
Start fishin like FOS and found origin
Africa inside me
Taking back her child
She giving me my pride
And setting me free
Africa inside me
