People, confusion going on Why don't we just learn how to live with one another? It's not really impossible, why do we have to make it so hard? With so much pollution and erasion, why? Why? If we can learn how to live with one another Then we can learn who is going to take the weight? Wait, I think that you'll find it Wait, wait, I think that you'll find it Wait, wait, I think that you'll find it Yeah, yeah I go for the record, I don't just go for the medals, bro Niggas used to know that we stronger than the devil, bro Since I buried Papa in the village with the shovel, bro Every move is bold, ain't no time for bein' subtle, bro In the face of evil, I can find the needle, haystack Could have freed my people if this weed was legal way back Popo spun the wheel of misfortune, but I ain't play that They come 'round and pat-pat-pat us down but I ain't say jack I escaped the trap, I escaped the cubicles, bro I escaped the drive by's, drop the funerals, bro And I beat the case, and I beat the chase, whoa whoa Can I keep the pace? Can I keep the pace? I'on know I escaped them tryna bleach a nigga's brain Coulda went to Wall Street, instead I built up my own lane Rather have a street in my own name Or money with my face on it like I'm Prince Hakeem You no gon' see me frowning in these days and times, you see The days of the Oyinbo man are numbered like football dresses We now know that all of our suffering and smiling has been worth the wait My nigga, who knew? Who knew that that boy from Enugu with the booboo on his knee (knee) Back then was actin' like a poodle on a leash (leash) One day he'd have to learn the juju on the streets (streets) Starin' at death like, is your shooters gonna squeeze? (squeeze) Freeze, please As a little boy slanging chains back in Chinatown Thinkin' to myself I'ma build a blacker kinda town wit' my, wit' my, wealth And I pray that I'm the brightest sound that you ever felt I'ma take a million flights around, 'til that shit is felt That's that lead the way, ayy That's no piece of cake, ayy That's that troll online that live inside the tree all day, ayy That's that he so gay, ayy That's that she so fake, ayy That's that insecure, ayy That's that Issa Rae, ayy Hey You do you, me do me So long as you don't fuss wit' we (we, baby) I believe it's time for African peoples powered highway The highway that will connect the diaspora and Motherland A global highway for African people all over the world to discover themselves To remember that the only thing that unites black people, globally The only thing we have in common is that we are from Africa
