Africa Represent Lyrics

[CHORUS] Represent Who Represent What Represent Who Represent What Represent Africa with a spectacular street vernacular Represent Who Represent What [VERSE 1] Who woulda knew that this cat from Africa Would come to America Verbally massacre these characters Never no passenger I cruise in the driver's seat Cadillacs, hoopties, Buicks, still doing it Rap is like the ice-cream truck Kids pursuin' it Media's confusin' it White boys consumin' it Me I pick a spoon and Scoop a little soul in it Master P with the flow, yo there's no limit No gimmick, stay on point like Chauncey Billups These arrows from my Bowe like Riddick The critics say I spit it so different Scorpio intense Ghanaian presence definin' the essence Ancestors blessed us beyond measure Deliver lyrical treasure like AZ in the golden era Written, off the top, on beat, or acappella Every line, every rhyme relevant forever In the name of Mandela Masakela, Makeba Oral traditions in a flavor you can savor We never gave up True warriors, vainglorious It's obvious the gift is upon us [CHORUS] Whatever happened to rappin' without mentionin' a gun clappin' Or gun clappin' without mentionin' in one's rappin' I never been to Uncle Tom's Cabin But I've met many a Shaman that's proud to be African From the womb to the tomb Were we destined for doom, NO We do it big like a Sumo Beats by B-Live make me feel alive I'm from a mixed tribe Coastally inclined The ocean waves we ride Our fisherman got Nets like New Jersey 12 year olds carry big breasts like they 23 33 year olds got ass Europeans' envy Skin ranges from jet black to chocolate ebony Hot damn black Queen you heavenly! Still understand I'm only a man Don't stand adjacent to my frustration Steady telling me ÒDon't fuck with her, she CaucasianÓ With all sincerity, you hate When I approach you with levity Build a strong family Let's enjoy each other's company Stop with the bickerin' and build some harmony These bills need to be paid So when I open a new page To script these lines Don't show your rage Like Cheney I'm a dick sometimes But when the stars align I pen these lines It's so divine News from the African Times [CHORUS] This the 3rd You can eff what you heard in the second and the first It gets worse It's so puzzlin' it hurts worse Than standin' on pins and needles Or catchin' the measles Learnin' like that cat from the Beatles So damn Don Cheadle cuz my thoughts crash Jumpin' around like everlast Ghana to Rwanda Tanzania Uganda All the way to the horn Other places war-torn [spoken interlude] [rhymes underneath] I represent till my last breath is gone Baptize mics like my name was john Even Cheech and Chong would get high off this song For sure, I represent for the black and poor The malnourished who aint never heard of christian diour Stoaways that risk their lives to see new york It's a deadly voyage, Danny Glover couldn't fathom But still we hold rythmn hostage, demand ransom And spazz out, throw trantrums in my new habitat Minneapolis, guns go ratatatat I came in the door With raw metaphors of course I'm down for the law I'm down by cause Haha, That shit right [Represent With a spectacular vernacular] I represent Africa strictly CHORUS [SPOKEN INTERLUDE] CHORUSM.anifest - Africa Represent - http://motolyrics.com/manifest/africa-represent-lyrics.html
