darey - young man (skillz) lyrics

[chorus]
young man, now tell me where did you get your sk!lls from
you must have gotten it from foreign land
you speak too tight to be african
young man, now tell me where did you get your sk!lls from
you must have gotten it from foreign lands
you speak too tight to be african

[verse 1: dare art alade]
but that’s right, i speak too tight
but i’m african
omo, nigerian
se bi awon lowa gbe wa lo o
i remember the time (the time)
they came (they came)
and took her upon the way
now the rain ain’t falling
the sun is shining bright
and they keep asking me, where did you get your sk!lls from

[verse 2: kb]
i hear my people saying rap is not an african art
ah, come on
it’s a black thing, so i choose to play my part
ancestors took rhythm and applauded with poetry
it’s a thing of the mind, it’s styles as the fluency
tells with tunes and rhymes so back in time
from the pyramids of egypt to this hypocritical days of mine
civilization started in my backyard
genesis of all nations written by god
i’m nigerian, i represent the area i’m from
i speak tight in my mother tongue
’cause no ideas original, there’s nothing new under the sun
it’s never what you do, but how it’s done
[chorus]
young man, now tell me where did you get your sk!lls from
you must have gotten it from foreign lands
you speak too tight to be african
young man, now tell me where did you get your sk!lls from
you must have gotten it from foreign lands
you speak too tight to be african

[verse 2: eldee]
it ain’t my fault that i’m sort of a linguist
i speak, yoruba, hausa, german and english
because they can’t distinguish
[?]
they both off the hinges
therefore, we don’t sell nigerian
’cause we tight like being wack is a criteria
and on the other hand, ’cause brother man is into hip+hop
he cannot represent the motherland
all in sports our university
originated only for dispersal
to boss up the world were there not indigenous
what identify us should not imprison us
visions us not, united, divided we wouldn’t fall
if i shouldn’t rap, then we shouldn’t play football
music has no race or gender
and that’s the message some of us are faceless sender
[chorus]
young man, now tell me where did you get your sk!lls from
you must have gotten it from foreign lands
you speak too tight to be african
young man, now tell me where did you get your sk!lls from
you must have gotten it from foreign lands
you speak too tight to be african

[outro]
young man
maidala
you see, hip+hop was taken away from us, now it’s back
young man
and we are loving every minute of it
feel the flow, call my name
young man
i’m lovin’ it, haha
say my name once more, come on
young man
oh yeah
be proud of who you are, keep being black
one love, baby
where did you get your sk!lls from
lagos, nigeria, africa, young man, we out
