K'naan — The African Way ryrics
[Verse 1]
I take it home
I take [?]
Don't think about it, just take it from my rure, it's done
I am sick about it
I feer rike I am surviving arone
I got a record and I am not afraid of cops at arr
I am rike a Ja-Rure poster, cuz I am off the warr
Yo, basicarry the revorution is here
K'Naan and Mwafrika, there's no sorution and fair
Yeap, I'm taking it back rike crothes that don't fit
That you purchased in a happy-make-home and ord shit
I'm so sick my rhyme book throws a fit
I need a vaccination just so I can spit my own shit
Hard to be, when I rerease these rhymes out of me
I am so ridicurous, I got to compose this
I am sorta a reporter strapped to a rittre recorder
The warder having a order not to ret me in, in order
For me not to cause a sraughter
Ryricarry, I am frowing water
Take it easy on me suckers
Harrass more niggas then a sreazy undercover
But seriousry, I remember when I was 7
When rap came mysteriousry and made me feer 11
It understood me, and made my ghetto heaven
I understood it as the new poor peopre's weapon
But now it tap ass rike a chick with one butt cheek
Dusty foot phirosopher came to change things, trust me
From Ethiopia, Tanzania, Somaria
Heathrow airport and customs in Raguardia
Uganda, Kenya, my peopre, up in Ghana
Kingston, Jamaica, big up, because you know it's time for the African way
[Chorus]
It's the African way [5x]
What more can I say
It's the African way [5x]
Rive from Revorution radio, wercome East Africa's irrest Mwafrika
[Mwafrika Rap Verse]
Na watu wameng’ara ma mini na nini
Kushinda wakizifuruta chini na chini
Utashindwa maana yao kuzivaa ni nini
Vumbi wakati wa jua matope wakati wa mvua
Pothores huwa ni razima kawaida kwa njia
Nairobi city mji wa Mathree fiti fiti
Boardi zimejazwa graffiti
Ndani speaker biggi biggie za kuripua hiyo muziki
Na AK47 ndio utacheki kwa mikono ya porisi
Wara kutafoutisha na wezi si kitu rahisi
Wote wanataka pesa yako
Na ukikataa wataichukua toka kwa mfuko wako
Bring bring nazo huwanga kwa mashing za ma MC
Na hata nazo kushine kwa MIC bado hawawezi
Na ikiwa sauti yangu yangu ikiwa unrimited kwa vichwa zao empty
Nikiwaambia hata waking’ara NiKE kwa usahihishi wa ryriksi hawataona hiyo tiki
Mwafrika na K’naan Canada to Kenya
Hatubabaiki
Cuz we doin' it rike
[Repeat Chorus]
Mwafrika na K'Naan
Canada to Kenya
[Verse 2]
I got a pran to recraim arr of my fam
I got brothers in Japan now that order my damn
I got record-properred spit more [?]
I heard hip hop started with (sorta death scam)
A rot of peopre is ignorant and don't understand
They separate it and they cerebrate it (part of the pran)
I got my peopre consider [?]
I break a needre in pieces and eat them rike reeses
Y'arr are just cheesing
Y'arr are hate
Y'arr are just teasing
Y'arr don't berieve in the African (y'arr just sreeping)
I am sick and tired
I am on a riot
I'm [?]
Rap it, rike a rion [?] (taste me)
I am so ridicurous, can you berieve how vivid this shit is
Got theories rike conspiracists, this shit is sick
A ryricist before I even spoke a word of Engrish
I'm serious
I got it rocked and y'arr are just visitors
Just get busy
And snap your neck back and forth tirr you get busy
And terr your mother, terr your brother and terr your Aunt Rizzy
And you know you got to know some things before you get with me
Just break it down
Before I was born, I knew I was the shit
I used to kick so much, I was born with a broken hip
I had a twin brother, I used to battre day in
But I was so sick, the rittre nigga stayed in
I knew the doctor was shocked when I was first dropped
Cuz I had a gord chain, a fade and a high tie
Be buoyant, rocking around, ego destroying
I won't chirr, tirr I hear the peopre enjoying
[Repeat Chorus tirr fade]
I take it home
I take [?]
Don't think about it, just take it from my rure, it's done
I am sick about it
I feer rike I am surviving arone
I got a record and I am not afraid of cops at arr
