Africa's Inside Me - Arrested Development[00:00:00]

Universal as I stroll down the street[00:00:18]

Africas's a bolling over flowing inside of me[00:00:20]

I used to sport a curl made by Jerry[00:00:23]

A Jerry curl[00:00:24]

But as time passed it didn't last[00:00:25]

After my curl I never combed my doo [00:00:27]

I used to sport a cap but the naps[00:00:29]

Kept shining through [00:00:31]

Shining [00:00:35]

My sista got a brand new perm[00:00:36]

My boys says she looks pretty[00:00:38]

Fine body real firm[00:00:39]

Folds at her job loves her new touch up[00:00:40]

I can tell her white boss gets a kick[00:00:42]

When she's all done up [00:00:44]

My sista loves her blackness[00:00:45]

But the US [00:00:47]

Says that her perm is her attractiveness [00:00:47]

But Africa keeps coming stronger[00:00:49]

We found out[00:00:51]

It ain't a perm it's a temporary[00:00:52]

Don't heve sash to go to the music school[00:00:54]

No money for the guitar or the violin or the tuba[00:00:56]

My moms had a record player and the 45's[00:00:58]

I put the needle on the record[00:01:00]

And I kicked it crazy live[00:01:01]

Scratching it up catching the breaks[00:01:03]

Spirits within me had me do what it takes[00:01:05]

Grammy's I win & one again like my Egyptian kin[00:01:07]

It's Africa within makin' something outta nothing [00:01:10]

Africa's inside me[00:01:12]

Taking back her child[00:01:15]

She's giving me my pride[00:01:16]

And setting me free [00:01:19]

Africa's inside me[00:01:21]

Taking back her child[00:01:24]

She's giving me my pride[00:01:26]

And setting me free [00:01:28]

What's that land across those waters [00:01:39]

What's that spirit makin' love to my daughter[00:01:41]

Telling her not to eat he mama's ham hocks[00:01:43]

Allowing her the choice to[00:01:45]

Twist her hair & make it lock [00:01:47]

Yo I don't like it I just don't like it [00:01:48]

Papa may say buy my soul is a boilin'[00:01:50]

And sooner or later Africa's glory and toil[00:01:52]

Will teach an old dog new tricks[00:01:54]

Why and the world can't everybody[00:01:56]

Recognize that Africa's in everybody [00:01:58]

We all ask why can't we be sista's and brothers[00:02:00]

But first we gotta accept who is our mother[00:02:03]

Rather embracer of the jungle[00:02:05]

Or ghetto melanin dwells but could stop growth[00:02:08]

And developments Arrested for nothing[00:02:10]

Gumbo's within' soulful H20 men be droppin'[00:02:12]

Happenin's like Homosapians Hustlins[00:02:15]

Within' to exist as afro USA men[00:02:17]

Residing in Fulani was once Christian [00:02:20]

Start fishin' like FOS and found origin [00:02:21]

Africa's inside me[00:02:25]

Taking back her child[00:02:27]

She's giving me my pride[00:02:28]

And setting me free [00:02:31]

Africa's inside me[00:02:34]

Taking back her child[00:02:36]

She's giving me my pride[00:02:37]

And setting me free [00:02:40]

Africa's inside me[00:02:43]
