African Dream

Lyrics for African Dream

Hmm, ayy, ayy, hmm I'm going home when my time come Same place weh di River Nile on Green grass, blue skies and sun Heart a beat like an African drum Ayo, I'm African, although I was born in Los Angeles I gotta get a tat to represent where my family is Get, it's black skin, black bones, black man From the black planet, black sand, black lamb Back then I woulda been on a ship eating fish Taking weekend trips in the sea to see if I could meet the French Speaking tongues over drums, dancing and singing songs You could see the long, all mother brothers we call Organ, African, I'm back again Like I never left, never did, heaven is Africa I have to show my kids just how old the culture is From California, but I wanna live in Africa Oh, Africa, oh, Africa Oh, Africa, my motherland Ayy, hmm I'm going home when my time come Same place weh di River Nile on Green grass, blue skies and sun Heart a beat like an African drum Africa, mother Africa, home of civilization A cradle, a man kind of birth place of creation Generated from stories, integrated through generations Told by the ancients, you can't say it's none greatest Africa, the reign of Egypt, range of my people Disperse through the Earth surface before you could purchase vehicles They greet you on the coast in the boat You can't believe it, yo, it floats? And you niggas make weapons outta stone? Fuck, you built my homes out the stone too And a statue of me 'cause I wanna be a king to, shoot We could be buddies, We could trade agriculture and riches from different shores But if you ever cross me, then we would go to war You know the Lord Savior Creator He made His humble specially when the Romans tried to take over the jungles So we stopped in the Middle East, we still can't get no peace Soon as they see a diamond, they wanna slave us for a piece of Africa Hmm, ayy, ayy, hmm I'm going home when my time come Same place weh di River Nile on Green grass, blue skies and sun Heart a beat like an African drum They call me the homo habilis 'cause I created the habitat Before the great homo erectus invaded half the map He would catch a lion, kill it, and put his head on a stick Just to prove to everyone how strong he really is You can say he lives on the most nurturing continent The fruits and vegetables, long rivers, tall mountains Zebras, cheetahs, elephants, panthers, gorillas The vast deserts, hot summers, cold winters Man, the sister brought me back to my genes, African Eve had to teach the mother of agriculture a couple things Like we could speak English, European, Chinese And my continent is the second largest you ever seen Red, black, yellow and green Land man, sun in the trees, the first kings, the first human beings The first everything, afros, cornrows, bald heads and long dreads All said they were all bred in Africa Oh, Africa, oh, Africa Oh, Africa, my motherland Oh, Africa, oh, Africa Oh, Africa, we plan to stand Hmm, ayy, ayy, hmm I'm going home when my time come Same place weh di River Nile on Green grass, blue skies and sun Heart a beat like an African drum Heart a beat, heart a beat Heart a beat like an African drum Heart a beat, heart a beat Heart a beat like an African drum Oh, Africa, oh, Africa Oh, Africa, my motherland Oh, Africa, oh, Africa Oh, Africa, we plan to stand
