Don't think about it, just take it from my rule, it's done

I am sick about it
6
I feel like I am surviving alone
7
I got a record and I am not afraid of cops at all
8
I am like a Ja-Rule poster, cause I am off the wall
9
Yo, basically the revolution is here
10
K'Naan and Mwafrika, there's no solution and fair
11
Yeap, I'm taking it back like clothes that don't fit
12
That you purchased in a happy-make-home and old shit
13
I'm so sick my rhyme book throws a fit
14
I need a vaccination just so I can spit my own shit
15
Hard to be, when I release these rhymes out of me
16
I am so ridiculous, I got to compose this
17
I am sorta a reporter strapped to a little recorder
18
The warder having a order not to let me in, in order
19
For me not to cause a slaughter
20
Lyrically, I am flowing water

Take it easy on me suckers
22
Harrass more niggas then a sleazy undercover
23
But seriously, I remember when I was 7
24
When rap came mysteriously and made me feel 11
25
It understood me, and made my ghetto heaven
26
I understood it as the new poor people's weapon

But now it tap ass like a chick with one butt cheek
28
Dusty foot philosopher came to change things, trust me

From Ethiopia, Tanzania, Somalia

Heathrow airport and customs in Laguardia

Kingston, Jamaica, big up, because you know it's time for the African way

It's the African way (5x)

Live from Revolution radio, welcome East Africa's illest Mwafrika

Na watu wameng'ara ma mini na nini
40
Kushinda wakizifuruta chini na chini

Utashindwa maana yao kuzivaa ni nini

Vumbi wakati wa jua matope wakati wa mvua
43
Potholes huwa ni lazima kawaida kwa njia
44
Nairobi city mji wa Mathree fiti fiti
45
Boardi zimejazwa graffiti
46
Ndani speaker biggi biggie za kulipua hiyo muziki
47
Na AK47 ndio utacheki kwa mikono ya polisi
48
Wala kutafoutisha na wezi si kitu rahisi
49
Wote wanataka pesa yako
50
Na ukikataa wataichukua toka kwa mfuko wako
51
Bling bling nazo huwanga kwa mashing za ma MC
52
Na hata nazo kushine kwa MIC bado hawawezi
53
Na ikiwa sauti yangu yangu ikiwa unlimited kwa vichwa zao empty
54
Nikiwaambia hata waking'ara NiKE kwa usahihishi wa lyriksi hawataona hiyo tiki

Be buoyant, rocking around, ego destroying
