sonny – noah the african lyrics
somebody want me in the prison
somebody told me not to look
you ask for wisdom in the morning
but at night you play the crook, oh, lord
you see, the man’s been lying to you
be only sure of what you see
i bet you think noah was a white man, huh?
or that he built an arch with ease
they say, ‘man, what’s your problem?
’cause this ain’t nothing new’
i say, ‘i light you on fire
it’s just my god’s that’s talking through’
they ain’t fooling us, over here we know the truth
can’t an old man built a stadium somewhere out the blue
i said, ‘noah, get your people and i’ll save you if you do’
so he headed for the mountains up in turkey with his crew
more likely to be saved from the rain in a cave
40 days hid away with all his family and some cattle
all the animals were traveled so they wouldn’t have to paddle
dabbling in all this crazy teaching speaking he’ll soon believe it
he said, ‘don’t be scared, no
don’t be scared, no, no
if the flood gets high i’mma blow, blow, blow
if the whirlwind keep your cake dry when the world ends
and that’s the truth, the only truth that you should tell them’
think about me in your sleep, read about me in a week
you better pray, better pray, pray, pray
’cause i’mma talk this truth all day, check it out
the forecast is broadcast from god’s path
i’m petey’to people’s voice with more gas
truth tellers to both letters exposed to devil
picking battles to battle kings on different levels
i’m jay z’
saying i’m a liar turn this trigger from the wire
you like my doola, my introduction will make you feel that
a little rain, i turn to noah, homie, feel that?
ride around town till i’m out of gas and i hit the break and i call a cab
and i take it home to the church doors
open up and i take a bath and i pull the grace in that holy place
while my momma looking like make them pay
and i hear the voice while making a choice
and i call my team like i’m done with this
somebody want me in the prison
somebody told me not to look
you ask for wisdom in the morning
but at night you play the crook, oh, lord
you see, the man’s been lying to you
be only sure of what you see
i bet you think noah was a white man, huh?
or that he built an arch with ease
they say, ‘man, what’s your problem?
’cause this ain’t nothing new’
i say, ‘i light you on fire
it’s just my god’s that’s talking through’
he said, ‘don’t be scared, no
don’t be scared, no, no
if the flood gets high i’mma blow, blow, blow
if the whirlwind keep your cake dry when the world ends
and that’s the truth, the only truth that you should tell them’
think about me in your sleep, read about me in a week
you better pray, better pray, pray, pray
’cause i’mma talk this truth all day, check it out
the story of noah’s arch is an ancient mesopotamian tale
found out on the 11th tablet of the gilgamesh epic
it took noah and his family 8 months to travel from their native home in lake chad in africa
to the turkish hideout
while in the cave a miraculous whirlwind prevented the waters from reaching them
the same whirlwind was later used to split the red sea into two for moses and the israelites
that’s called the theory of likeness
