Testo Africa Dream - Reflection Eternal
Testo della canzone Africa Dream (Reflection Eternal), tratta dall'album Train Of Thought
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
If you could talk, you could sing
If you could walk, you could dance
That's an old proverb from Zimbabwe
Nah mean? Yo
If you could talk, you could sing
If you could walk, you could dance
Yeah, and the trumpet is blown
Uh, uh
Yeah
Alright, uh, uh, uh
Yeah, come on, come on, come on, come on
Alright
Ooh
Mmm
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh
One more time
Yo, anybody could tell you how it is
What we puttin' down right here
This is how it is and how it could be
Reflection eternal for real
And with that
These cats is no match
Plus they lack a certain knack for rappin'
Chasin', but they never catch the wagon
Like rerunin' What's Happening!!
Since back when
They had potty issues and snotty tissues
We been rockin', think you poppin'?
Next year, nobody will miss you
My thoughts is too advanced for the artists on these labels
They come sweeter than Sable and softer than mashed potatoes
I tried to told you the rhymes ran over MCs like Land Rovers
And took 'em back in time like Sankofa, Sankofa
We stand over the Atlantic with the world like a man's shoulders
The vibe is trapped in the belly ready to pop like canned soda
We outlasted the Middle Passage
Touched down in New York, Cincinnati
Big Ohio status, what you thought money is classic?
These bastards try to treat us like cattle
So life's been a constant battle, battle
Risin' above the crabs in the barrel
Way too used to live in the devil's shadow
We stay on point like the best arrow, arrow
We hit the target accurate, star shit, back it up
When we hit town, y'all niggas pack it up
It's how we get down, straight smash it up
Like a whip hydroplaning
Hydro on the brain to maintain it
Game changin' into subtle shit, we remain playin'
Yo, got to tell you to your face
You get replaced in this game by Kweli
Face to face with your name
These cats drink champagne to toast death and pain
Like slaves on a ship talkin' 'bout who got the flyest chain
Come on
Uh, yeah, yeah
We the reflection of our ancestors
We'd like to thank you for the building blocks you left us
It's your spirit possessed us, yo, you blessed us
Thank you very much, thank you very much
Thank you very much
We the reflection of our ancestors
We'd like to thank you for the building blocks you left us
It's your spirit possessed us, yo, you blessed us
Thank you very much
And God bless you, and God bless you
And God bless you, and God bless you
And God bless you, God bless you
God bless you, God bless you
