Worth The Weight
(专辑: 85 To Africa - 2019)
People, confusion going on Why don't we just learn how to live with one another? It's not really impossible, why do we have to make it so hard? With so much pollution and erasion, why? Why? If we can learn how to live with one another, then we can learn who is going to take the
weight? Wait, I
think that you'll find it Wait, wait, I
think that you'll find it Wait, wait, I
think that you'll find it Yeah, yeah I
go for the
record, I
don't just go for the
medals, bro Niggas used to know that we stronger than the
devil, bro Since I
buried Papa in the
village with the
shovel, bro Every move is bold, ain't no time for being subtle, bro In the
face of evil, I
can find the
needle, haystack Could have freed my people if this weed was legal way back Po-po spun the
wheel on misfortune, but I
ain't play that They come round and pat-pat-pat us down but I
ain't say jack I
escaped the
trap, I
escaped the
cubicles, bro I
escaped the
drive by's, drop the
funerals, bro And I
beat the
case, and I
beat the
chase, woah woah Can I
keep the
pace? Can I
keep the
pace ?
I'on know I
escaped them tryna bleach a
nigga's brain Coulda went to Wall Street, instead I
built up my own lane Rather have a
street in my own name Or money with my face on it like I'm Prince Akeem You not gon' see me frowning in these days and times You see, the
days of the
Oyinbo man are numbered like football jerseys We now know that all of our suffering and smiling has been worth the
wait! My nigga, who knew? Who knew that that boy from Enugu wit' the
booboo on his knee (Knee) Back then was acting like a
poodle on a
leash (Leash) One day he'd have to learn the
juju on the
streets (Streets) Staring at death, like, is your shooters gonna squeeze? (Squeeze) Freeze, please As a
little boy slanging chains back in Chinatown Thinking to myself, I'ma build a
blacker kinda town wit' my, wit' my, wealth And I
pray that I'm the
brightest sound that you ever felt I'ma take a
million flights around, 'til that shit is felt That's that lead the
way, ayy That's no piece of cake, ayy That's that troll online that live inside the
tree all day, ayy That's that he so gay, ayy That's that she so fake, ayy That's that insecure, ayy That's that Issa Rae, ayy Hey You do you, me do me So long as you don't fuss wit' we (We, baby) I
believe it's time for an African peoples' powered highway The
highway that will connect the
Diaspora and Motherland A
global highway for African people all over the
world to rediscover themselves To remember that the
only thing that unites black people, globally The
only thing we all have in common is that we are from Africa
