HOOK We got African roots This no be orange it be African juice Want chop Egusi an African soup Doing guy like an African do Tell me how can an African lose I’m with a army of African troops Still had to pass but she had potential Try walk in some African shoes VERSE 1 I go tell am say I got something for summer Damn, I really love the man that I’m becoming And when they see me out it’s my people my brother Maybe ‘cause I just keep it a hundred If I see something I want then I cop it ‘Cause I used to wash with the bowl and a bucket Maybe that’s the reason why we like the finer things Fill the water to the brim for the final rinse My pops taught me how to fight with bare knuckles Growing up I had bare uncles It wasn’t outta blood and nor was it flesh It just taught me a little something about respect You can’t underpay I’m the one doing the maths How they run the game when I’m the one doing the laps Tell me why would you I listen to you when I’m black? You should never listen to rumours I’m bad HOOK We got African roots This no be orange it be African juice Want chop Egusi an African soup Doing guy like an African do Tell me how can an African lose I’m with a army of African troops Still had to pass but she had potential Try walk in some African shoes Came up off of African rules Never gave up that’s an African mood I won’t change up I’m an African dude Oh lord VERSE 2 When we celebrate we call it a wake If I don’t take a break I’ll fall on my face Had a Queen now I’m needing me another one More time I’m ‘trynna speak in my mother tongue Learned Pidgin used to kick it with Laju and Bross I’m no different when I deep all the brothers I lost Go figure whilst you’re sleeping around I'm a boss There’s no system all I’m seeing is profit and loss Did the running man to Color Me Badd Had to give him hands in front of my dad Instead of buying land we cower for stacks ‘Cause we don’t understand the power we have But our kids got some African roots Under our skin that’s some African roots Under her wig there’s some African roots If you’re real you’re an African too HOOK We got African roots This no be orange it be African juice Want chop Egusi an African soup Doing guy like an African do Tell me how can an African lose I’m with a army of African troops Still had to pass but she had potential Try walk in some African shoes (Came up off of African rules Never gave up that’s an African mood I won’t change up I’m an African dude Oh lord)
