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)
