Lyrics:
Praises to your highness, queen mother
That's Mama, Afrika, haven't ya, heard the news
We are magical, imagine that, spread the truth
Learn the cues, know your plot, play what's hot
Live the views, light it up, solar power
Sunkissed, tongue dipped in a golden
Bowl of, molten silver, never to be broken
Coast to coast, catch me going boat to boat
I learned to float, same time that I learnt to breathe
Otherwise I would've drowned in the sorrows of the older bros
They were colder those, days, no lows
Only highs when we come to vibe
Shaka boy, never come to snipe
Rather look you in your eye when I use the knife
I ain't used to hype, but I'm used to life
It's cut throat, like how I lost a buddy to a faulty cop
They mistook him for another guy
One tear streamed down in a salty drop
I wiped away truth for another lie
Seeking maximum, candidness, fabulous
If we are made in His image then, killing us must be blasphemous
Ooh, scandalous, can you handle us?
This black joy , with a candle on
Burning night, earning mine, channel on
Tell the crew and the fam to put the angle on
Melanin, melanin
The melodies are medicine
The rhythm is pure life, pure life
Drumbeat yellin', "secure five"
Goals, at the very least, I'm very pleased
To score the basics, but my net can catch oceans
I wrote this, knowing well that a heavy beast
Runs at my, achilles heal
But it's cool, I eat a steady meal
Wash it down with some, ginger tea
Call it fate, call it trust, it is, heavenly
That's the vibe, best believe, I won't be counting sheep
I just shed the weight, sheer force you can't relate
And, that's fine, it's a different world, no hate
But me living a worse tomorrow? No way
They tried to enact a dieback, within the fam like Kauri trees
And it's only three, who fight back
The hell is that?
Trauma. Plain and simple, I play it nimble
Just to catch these curve balls, running lines
For those who get the code, dozen signs
Just for your iris, I risk - it all, and the love is timeless
Praises to your highness, queen mother
That's Mama, Afrika, haven't ya, heard the news
We are magical, imagine that, spread the truth
Learn the cues, know your plot, play what's hot
Live the views, light it up, solar power
Sunkissed, tongue dipped in a golden
Bowl of, molten silver, never to be broken
Man, de tin dey mad
Nnaa ehn, see, person don dey try detox by turning off social media
But even if you succeed turn off all the sources of all the horrific news wey person dey hear since
We no fit really switch off our memories
