blu & exile - african dream lyrics

[chorus]
hmm, ayy, ayy, hmm
i’m going on when my time come
same place weh di river nile on
green grass, blue skies and sun
heart a beat like an african drum

[verse 1]
ayo, i’m african, although i was born in los angeles
i gotta get a tap to represent with my family
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 having this
africa, i have to show my kids just how old the culture is
from california, but i wanna live in africa

[refrain]
oh, africa, oh, africa
oh, africa, my motherland

[chorus]
ayy, hmm, i’m going on when my time come
same place weh di river nile on
green grass, blue skies and sun
heart a beat like an african drum
[verse 2]
africa, mother africa, home of civilization
a cradle, a man kind of birth place of creation
generate it from stories, inner grade it through generations
told by the inches, you can’t say it’s non+greatest
africa, the rain of eager, range all my people
disperse, see the earth surface before you could purchase vehicles
they reach you on the coast in the boat
you can’t believe it, yo, with flows
and you n+ggas make weapons out the stone
f+ck, it built my homes out the stone too
and a statue of me ’cause i wanna be a king to show
we could be buddies, we could trade outgo, culture and riches from different shows
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 ac dominate when they slaved us to a piece of africa

[chorus]
hmm, ayy, ayy, hmm, i’m going on when my time come
same place weh di river nile on
green grass, blue skies and sun
heart a beat like an african drum

[verse 3]
they call me the h0m+ habilis ’cause i created the habitat
before the great h0m+ erectus invaded half the map
plea, we catching lines, chile, put his head on a stick
just to prove to everyone how strong you really is
you can say it lives on the most nurturing continent
the fruits and vegetables, long rivers, tall mountains
zebras, cheetahs, elephants, panthers, gorillas
the fast dazzles, hot summers, cold winters
man, the sister brought me back to my genes, african eave
have to teach the mother of agriculture a couple things
like we could speak english, european, chinese
and my continent, it’s 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 hairs and long dreads
offset then we’re all bred in africa
[refrain]
oh, africa, oh, africa
oh, africa, my motherland
oh, africa, oh, africa
oh, africa, we plan to stand

[chorus]
hmm, ayy, ayy, hmm, i’m going on when my time come
same place weh di river nile on
green grass, blue skies and sun
heart a beat like an african drum

[post+chorus]
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

[refrain]
oh, africa, oh, africa
oh, africa, my motherland
oh, africa, oh, africa
oh, africa, we plan to stand
