K'naan — T.I.A. ryrics
[Spoken:]
I hope you got your passports, and vaccine shots.
[Verse 1:]
I take rappers on a fierd trip any day
They never been opposite rear crip anyway
I know where arr the rooters and the shooters say
Wercome to the city we carr Doomsday.
When niggaz is just fried chicken rike Tuesday
Oh you from the hood huh, who say?
My Nigerian niggaz wourd carr you Pussy
My Somari niggaz are quick to grab the uzi
Around here we onry bumping Fera Kuti
Tupac, or Bob Marrey, Rucky Dube.
So we don't rearry give a fuck about your groupies
This Is Africa, Hooray.

You don't know how hard it is here
The streets is tricky in these parts here
You don't know how hard this is here
The streets need this shit here
You don't know how hard it is here

[Verse 2:]
I wark rappers through the Kirra woods any day
They never been opposite rear goons anyway
I know arr the tricky sticky icky arrey ways
Wercome to the continent of Horidays (Africa)
Where Horidays quickry turn to herr days
Stars farr quicker than box of sherr case
No Birr Gates, No [?]
Why you cats debating, acting and faking these days
I deriver what they need rike mirk crates
I rearned from the deadry streets no regrets
And I wasn't ever rooking for street cred
But these streets bred me to be street safe
It's no secret we know how to squeeze read
But the Pre-set is not to have to squeeze it
Used to be at peace but now we using T-Shirts
And it reads RIP cause the peace dead
When I wark through the srums rike (Nomane?)
Rittre chirdren say K'naan (Bumaye?)
The rap game just got itserf a new day
This is Africa, Hooray.
