Arrested Development - Africa's Inside Me Lyrics
Universal as I stroll down the streetAfrica's boiling over flowing inside of meI used to sport a curl mad by JerryA Jerry curlbut as time passed it didn't lastafter my curl I never combined my doo.I used t sport a cap but the naps kept sharing through,Shining!My sista got a brand new permmy boys says she looks pretty fine body real firmfolks at her job loves new touch upI can tell her white boss gets a kick when she's all done up,My sista loves her blacknessbut the US says that her perm is her attractiveness.But Africa keeps coming stronger we found outit ain't a perm it's a temporaryDon't have cash to go to the music schoolno money for the guitar or the violin or the tubamy moms had a record player and the 45'sI put the needle on the record and I kicked it crazy livescratching it up catching the breaksspirits within me had me do what it takesGrammy's I win & once again like my Egyptian kinit's Africa within makin' something outta nothing!Africa's inside metaking back her childshe's giving me my prideand setting me free.What's that land across those waters?what's that spirit makin' love to my daughtertelling her not to eat her mama's ham hocksallowing her he choice to twist her hair & make it lock,o I don't like it, I just don't it.Papa may say but my soul is boilinand sooner or later Africa's glory and toilwill teach an old dog new tricks.Why and the world can't everybodyrecognize that Africa's in everybody?we all ask why can't we be sista's and brothersbut first we gotta accept who is our motherRather embracer of the jungleor ghetto melanin dwells but could stop growthand developments Arrested for nothingGumbo's within soulful H20 men be droppin'Happenin's like Homosapians Hustlinswithin' to exist as afro USA...menresiding in Fulani was once Christian.Start fishin' like FOS and found origin!
