You always run down my things, other people things |
|
You should make your own thing, create your own things |
|
Need to work for your things, some get hurt for their things |
|
See, we live in a world where things running things |
|
And those that seem to run things get run by their things |
|
So you nyam down my things till you've done everything |
|
And you return not a thing so you don't earn not a thing |
|
You wanna kill all these birds with one stone and one sling |
|
Don't wanna see no screwface, no screwface |
|
Wanna see my people dance, my people dance |
|
I wanna see them smile and join their hands |
|
We're africans and we don't do those things |
|
Again, again |
|
No, this is not our way, it's not the way |
|
Badness is not our way, it's not the way |
|
Slackness is not the way, it's not the way |
|
We're africans and we don't do those things |
|
Everybody owe you things but nobody know nothing |
|
Since you know it all, no one can show you things |
|
You hate the birds for their wings |
|
For the melodies they sing |
|
You want the thoughts that I think |
|
You claim the words from this ink |
|
So you milk and you rinse |
|
Down to the bones and the skin |
|
And then I'm supposed to get fling |
|
To the rest of the have been's |
|
Don't get caught, don't get jinxed |
|
It may not be what one thinks |
|
Not everything is gold 'cause it glitters and blings, so |
|
Don't wanna see no screwface, no screwface |
|
Wanna see my people dance, my people dance |
|
I wanna see them smile and join their hands |
|
We're africans and we don't do those things |
|
Again, again |
|
No, this is not our way, it's not the way |
|
Badness is not our way, it's not the way |
|
Slackness is not the way, it's not the way |
|
We're africans and we don't do those things |
|
Situation is a hell of a thing |
|
In this condition that we are living in |
|
It's not the way, it's not the way |
|
We're human beings, we don't do these things |
|
Don't wanna see no screwface, no screwface |
|
Wanna see my people dance, my people dance |
|
I wanna see them smile and join their hands |
|
We're africans and we don't do those things |
|
Again, again |
|
Don't wanna see no screwface, no screwface |
|
Wanna see my people dance, my people dance |
|
I wanna see them smile and join their hands |
|
We're africans and we don't do those things |
