bantu (crew) – afropunk lyrics

[intro: spoken]
brothers and sisters ladies and gentlemen
agberos international, outernational
afropunks and afropolitans
wafunkateers
time to connect to the bantu vibe
show the world you’re alive baby

[yoruba comment: ibrahim oyetunji]
afropolitan, sho l’ọ́rọ̀ wọ́ mi
àwọn t’olúyọ̀lé, ìsàlẹ̀ èkó, ìsàlẹ̀ ọ̀fin
bàbá alayé, ọ̀gá ìwọ lo wàḿbẹ̀
bantu ọ̀gá mi bàbá
gbójú fún ọ̀gá ni, fragbo fílẹ̀
ẹ sanwó ọmọ ìgboro
to bá ti sanwó ọmọ ìgboro ìwọ lo ní, ìwọ lo ní
ìwọ lo n’ìbàdàn tó fi d’ógbòmọ̀shọ́

[verse 1: ade bantu]
mr style police why you meddling in my biz trying to pigeon hole my vibe and get me on my knees
your musical apartheid i ain’t gonna bow to
listen up mr sabiall my name na bantu
student, apprentice of life is what i am
grenzgänger, wanderer who don’t fear no man
i stand on the pillars of paul robeson and jack johnson music’s a continuum for the children of the sun
the cycle of creation is abundant everlasting as long as you’re open and your soul is willing
we’re the bad brains, fishbone, living color collation, brothers with an attitude on a world wide mission

[chorus]
na so o o gari getti as e bi upside down inside o
na so o o afropunk, afrowiz, afropolitan e o

[yoruba comments 2: ibrahim oyetunji]
bantu, washere, alayé mo rí ẹ mo yọ̀

àwọn olówó tó m’àwa rèé, àwọn ọ̀gá tó ṣe bí ọ̀gá f’áwa rèé
bàbá o, alayé ni ẹ́
kú-kúro l’ọ́nà bantu ḿbọ̀
bàbá o, double twale
ẹ jẹ́ k’álayé kọjá
àwọn alayé ti wá

[verse 2: ade bantu ]
i pledge allegiance to the brotherhood of freedom
gotta breath my air free connect it to the great one
just like hafiz there’s beauty in our midst why try to complicate the facts and give it all a bad twist
the complexity of my multiple identity means you gotta consult with me if you wanna understand me
chimurenga attitude that’s the way i roll
afropolitan baby ain’t stretching no bowl
take your shock therapy and your friedman policy
had enough of you experimenting with me
take your dog fed feed them to your dogs
feed them to your cats caus we don’t play like that
bwateeee…

[chorus]
na so o o gari getti as e bi upside down inside o
na so o o afropunk, afrowiz, afropolitan e o
