Africa Dream Lyrics

Africa Dream lyrics

talking) 

 If you can talk you can sing 

 If you can walk you can dance 

 That's an old proverb from Zimbabwe 

 You know what I mean 

 If you can talk you can sing 

 If you can walk you can dance 

 Yeah, and the trumpet is blown 

 Yeah, alright, C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon 

 Alright, Wooh! 

  

 (talking) 

 Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, one more time 

 Yo, anybody can tell you how it is 

 What we putting down right here is how it is and how it could be 

 Reflection Eternal for real 

 And with that- 

  

 These cats is no match 

 Plus they lack a certain knack for rapping 

 Chasing but they never catch the wagon 

 Like rerunning what's hap'ning 

 Since back when 

 They had potty issues and snotty tissues, we been rockin' 

 Think you poppin' next year nobody will miss you 

 My thoughts is too advanced for the artists on these labels 

 They come sweeter than sabal and softer than mashed potatoes 

 I tried to told you the rhymes run over emcees like Land Rovers 

 Took 'em back in time like Sam Kofa, Sam Kofa 

  

 We stand over the Atlantic, looking broad like a man's shoulders 

 The fire is trapped in a belly, ready to pop like canned soda 

 We outlasting, from middle passage 

 Touched down in New York 

 Cincinnatay! Big Ohio status what you thought 

 Money it's classic these bastards try to treat us like cattle 

 So life has been a constant battle, battle 

 Rising above the crabs in the barrel 

 Way too used to living in death's shadow 

 We stay on point like the best arrow, arrow 

 We hit the target accurate 

 Star shit, back it up 

 When we hit town, y'all niggas pack it up 

 That's how we get down, straight smash it up 

 Like a whip, hydroplaning 

 Hydro on the brain and maintaining 

 Game changing into subtle shit, we remain blatant 

 Yo, got to tell you to your face 

 You get replaced in this game, by Kweli 

 Place the face with the name 

 These cats drink champagne and toast to death and pain 

 Like slaves on a ship talking about who got the flyest chain 

  

 (talking) 

 Yo, we the reflection of our ancestors 

 We'd like to thank you for the building blocks you left us 

 Cause your spirit possessed us 

 Yo, you blessed us 

 Thank you very much (7x) 

  

 Yo, we the reflection of our ancestors 

 We'd like to thank you for the building blocks you left us 

 Cause your spirit possessed us 

 Yo, you blessed us 

 Thank you very much 

 God bless you (7x
