《Africa’s Inside Me》歌词

[00:00:00] Africa's Inside Me - Arrested Development

[00:00:18] Universal as I stroll down the street

[00:00:20] Africas's a bolling over flowing inside of me

[00:00:23] I used to sport a curl made by Jerry

[00:00:24] A Jerry curl

[00:00:25] But as time passed it didn't last

[00:00:27] After my curl I never combed my doo

[00:00:29] I used to sport a cap but the naps

[00:00:31] Kept shining through

[00:00:35] Shining

[00:00:36] My sista got a brand new perm

[00:00:38] My boys says she looks pretty

[00:00:39] Fine body real firm

[00:00:40] Folds at her job loves her new touch up

[00:00:42] I can tell her white boss gets a kick

[00:00:44] When she's all done up

[00:00:45] My sista loves her blackness

[00:00:47] But the US

[00:00:47] Says that her perm is her attractiveness

[00:00:49] But Africa keeps coming stronger

[00:00:51] We found out

[00:00:52] It ain't a perm it's a temporary

[00:00:54] Don't heve sash to go to the music school

[00:00:56] No money for the guitar or the violin or the tuba

[00:00:58] My moms had a record player and the 45's

[00:01:00] I put the needle on the record

[00:01:01] And I kicked it crazy live

[00:01:03] Scratching it up catching the breaks

[00:01:05] Spirits within me had me do what it takes

[00:01:07] Grammy's I win & one again like my Egyptian kin

[00:01:10] It's Africa within makin' something outta nothing

[00:01:12] Africa's inside me

[00:01:15] Taking back her child

[00:01:16] She's giving me my pride

[00:01:19] And setting me free

[00:01:21] Africa's inside me

[00:01:24] Taking back her child

[00:01:26] She's giving me my pride

[00:01:28] And setting me free

[00:01:39] What's that land across those waters

[00:01:41] What's that spirit makin' love to my daughter

[00:01:43] Telling her not to eat he mama's ham hocks

[00:01:45] Allowing her the choice to

[00:01:47] Twist her hair & make it lock

[00:01:48] Yo I don't like it I just don't like it

[00:01:50] Papa may say buy my soul is a boilin'

[00:01:52] And sooner or later Africa's glory and toil

[00:01:54] Will teach an old dog new tricks

[00:01:56] Why and the world can't everybody

[00:01:58] Recognize that Africa's in everybody

[00:02:00] We all ask why can't we be sista's and brothers

[00:02:03] But first we gotta accept who is our mother

[00:02:05] Rather embracer of the jungle

[00:02:08] Or ghetto melanin dwells but could stop growth

[00:02:10] And developments Arrested for nothing

[00:02:12] Gumbo's within' soulful H20 men be droppin'

[00:02:15] Happenin's like Homosapians Hustlins

[00:02:17] Within' to exist as afro USA men

[00:02:20] Residing in Fulani was once Christian

[00:02:21] Start fishin' like FOS and found origin

[00:02:25] Africa's inside me

[00:02:27] Taking back her child

[00:02:28] She's giving me my pride

[00:02:31] And setting me free

[00:02:34] Africa's inside me

[00:02:36] Taking back her child

[00:02:37] She's giving me my pride

[00:02:40] And setting me free

[00:02:43] Africa's inside me
