the black opera - african america lyrics

[intro]
ay, yo blood, what’s up young blood?
ay, where you from, man?
yo, lil n-gga, you think- you think you from here?
you think you from america, n-gga?
you ain’t from here, bruh [?]
alright, young blood, i need you to take this pamphlet
meet us over there, friday 5pm, we gon’ take you somewhere else
you gon’ be with us

[chorus]
where you from? african america!
where you from? african america!
where you from? african america!
where you from? african america!
what you playin’, what you bang?
where you from from from?
where you from, what’s your game?
where you from from from?
what’s your tribe, what’s your clique?
where you from from from?
what you say when you lit?
where you from from from?
what you playin’, what you bang?
where you from from from?
where you from, what’s your game?
where you from from from?
what’s your tribe, what’s your clique?
where you from from from?
what you say when you lit?
where you from from from?

[verse 1]
where we s’posed to go? tell me where we s’posed to go
where we s’posed to go? tell me where we s’posed to go
if they lock me up and take away my p-ssport
where we s’posed to go? tell me where we s’posed to go
tell me which constellation can i follow home
tell me why i feel like a prisoner of war
in my own home, tell me where we s’posed to go
tell me which constellation can i follow home

[bridge]
where i’m from, here
when we claim on these streets
when we live here, they don’t want us here
when we claim on these streets
but they brought us here, can you tell me where?
ain’t no side like my side
everywhere they say i’m from don’t feel like home
ain’t no gang like my gang, n-gga
maybe we should start our own, maybe we should start a

[verse 2]
revolution, people’s movement
black on black on my hat low
shades on, mask on
making sure that my queen strong
harriet tubman and malcolm
they promised land was never ours
we was born in enemy land, prayin’ to their heaven’s gods
lookin’ up to heaven’s stars instead of lookin’ inside
still got african pride, but i was not born there
being patriotic’s close to being psychotic in america
so i decided on my new heritage

[chorus]
where you from? african america!
where you from? african america!
where you from? african america!
where you from? african america!

[post-chorus]
what you playin’, what you bang?
where you from from from?
where you from, what’s your game?
where you from from from?
what’s your tribe, what’s your clique?
where you from from from?
what you say when you lit?
where you from from from?
what you playin’, what you bang?
where you from from from?
where you from, what’s your game?
where you from from from?
what’s your tribe, what’s your clique?
where you from from from?
what you say when you lit?
where you from from from?

[verse 3]
i ain’t from a black planet
you won’t find it on a map or atlas (no!)
they say our language is bad grammar
it looks like southwest atlanta
it looks like detroit (east side, my n-gga)
brooklyn, baton rouge
engelwood, boyz n the hood
i ain’t from africa, i’m from [?] mafia
this is our continent

[bridge]
where can we go? (where can we go?)
where do we really come from? (where do we really come from?)
what can we say that we own?
feel like [?] (feel like [?])
where can we build us a home? (where can we build us a home?)
where can we make our own laws? (where can we make our own laws?)
where is a place we can go? (where is a place we can go)
it’s called african america
it’s called african america
it’s called african america
it’s called african america
where you from?

[outro]
another kind of angle on that is we are in this country
y’know, whether we like it our not
whether they like it our not
right
this is our situation
and it’s almost like when you think about african-american or african america
there’s the angle of, “let’s get out of here, let’s go somewhere”
but, it’s also like, we live in this country but our rules are totally different
right!
we have totally different laws and injustices
they’re really not laws, ’cause the things they’re doing is not legal
but they make ’em legal
we get treated a certain way in this country
so it’s like we live in our own country
the legal system doesn’t support us
so it’s like, where do we live?
this is somewhere else, ’cause it’s not america
if you read the const-tution, if you read the laws, they don’t apply to us
so we living in african america
