the original city boy crew – back to africa lyrics
[intro]
clap your hands everybody
and everybody clap your hands
just clap your hands everybody
and everybody clap your hands
just clap your hands everybody
and everybody clap your hands
just clap your hands everybody
and everybody, body clap your hands
c’mon! just clap your hands everybody, body
and everybody, body clap your hands
just clap your hands everybody
’cause it’s time for you to dance
[interlude]
people, huh, wherever you at
being red, yellow or white, even black
being tall, small, skinny or fat
pass me the mic, it’s my turn to rap
[verse 1]
hey everybody, comе for a musical ride
filled with culture, hеritage, soul and pride
we’re gonna take you back in tranquility
to the land of love, peace, and unity
to where the sky’s blue and the water’s clear
and there’s a musical rhythm in the sound that you hear
where all the colors are so bright
you can see them in the night
and breath the fresh clean air of the morning light
we’re gonna take you back, take you back
ah! we’re gonna take you back
we’re gonna take you back, take you back
we’re gonna take you back to where my roots are
to where the animals are free like the morning breeze
and they even have the monkeys living up in the trees
from lions to zebras, they all run free
because that’s the way god wants it to be
we’re gonna take you back, take you back
we’re gonna take you back, back, back
we’re gonna take you back, back, back
we’re gonna take you back to where my roots are
[break]
[interlude]
when you listen to music, you hear the drums
but have you ever started to think where the drums come from?
when you listen to music, you hear the drums
but have you ever started to think where the drums come from?
when you listen to music, you hear the drums
but have you ever started to think where the drums come from?
when you listen to music, you hear the drums
but have you ever started to think where the drums come from?
[verse 2]
well, the drum was born in africa
handmade of skin and wood
its first use was communication
which really turned out good
it was used to send the messages
passed on from tribe to tribe
and the beats were repeated over and over
until the messages arrived
[interlude]
when you listen to music, you hear the drums
but have you ever started to think where the drums come from?
when you listen to music, you hear the drums
but have you ever started to think where the drums come from?
when you listen to music, you hear the drums
but have you ever started to think where the drums come from?
[verse 3]
hey everybody, come for a musical ride
filled with culture, heritage, soul and pride
we’re gonna take you back in tranquility
to the land of love, peace, and unity
to where the sky’s blue and the water’s clear
and there’s a musical rhythm in the sound that you hear
where all the colors are so bright
you can see them in the night
and breath the fresh clean air of the morning light
yes, africa is my homeland
the land of my people, the original land
so if you ever ask me where my roots are from
i’ll look you straight in the eye
and say “my roots are in the drum”
