Dead Prez - I'm a African lyrics
Yo, turn this motherfucking shit up
 Ha ha ha, Uhuru, coupe tete boule kay
 Rwanda, Nigeria, Africa's in the house
 My nigga DR
 Nigga the red is for the blood in my arm
 The black is for the gun in my palm
 And the green is for the tram that grows natural
 Like locks on Africans
 Holdin' the smoke from the herb in my abdomen
 Camouflage fatigues, and daishikis
 Somewhere in between N.W.A. and P.E.
 I'm black like Steve Biko
 Raised in the ghetto by the people
 Fuck the police you know how we do
 Ayo, my life is like Roots it's a true story
 It's too gory for them televised fables on cable
 I'm a, a runaway slave watching the north star
 Shackles on my forearm , runnin' with the gun on my palm
 I'm an African , never was an African-American
 Blacker than black I take it back to my origin
 Same skin hated by the klansmen
 Big nose and lips, big hips and butts, dancin', what
 I'm a African, I'm a African, uhh
 And I know what's happenin'
 I'm a African, I'm a African, uhh
 And I know what's happenin'
 You a African? You a African?, louder
 Do you know what's happenin'?
 I'm a African, I'm a African, uhh
 And I know what's happenin'
 It's plain to see, you cant change me
 'Cuz I'm a people army for life
 Where you from fool?
 No I wasn't born in Ghana, but Africa is my momma
 And I did not end up here from bad karmaDead Prez - I'm a African - http://motolyrics.com/dead-prez/im-a-african-lyrics.html
 Or from B-Ball, selling mad crack or rappin'
 Peter Tosh try to tell us what happened
 He was sayin' if you black then you African
 So they had to kill him, and make him a villain
 'Cuz he was teachin' the children
 I feel him, he was tryin' to drop us a real gem
 That's why we bucking holes in the ceilin' when we hearin'
 I'm a African, I'm a African, uhh
 And I know what's happenin'
 I'm a African, I'm a African, uhh
 And I know what's happenin'
 You a African? You a African?, louder
 Do you know what's happenin'?
 I'm a African, I'm a African, uhh
 And I know what's happenin'
 A-F-R-I-C-A, Puerto Rico, Haiti, and J.A.
 New York and Cali, F-L-A
 No it aint 'bout where you stay, it's bout the motherland
 A-F-R-I-C-A, Puerto Rico, Haiti, and J.A.
 New York and Cali, F-L-A
 No it aint 'bout where you stay, it's bout the motherland
 It's like tank top, flip-flop
 Knotty dread lock, fuck a cop, hip-hop
 Make your head bop
 Bounce to this, socialist movement
 My environment made me the nigga I am
 Uncle Sam came and got me and arrested my fam
 Try to infiltrate and murder off the best of my clan
 I'm not American, punk, Democrat, or Republican
 Remember that, most of the cats we know, be hustlin'
 My momma work, all her life and still strugglin'
 I blame it on the government and say it on the radio
 (What)
 And if you don't already know
 All these Uncle Tom ass kissin' niggas got to go
