[Intro: chief waKiL]
Yeah
I just think
I think we bigger than this
I think
We can just go out to new land
And escape, you know what I'm saying?
[Hook: Toto]
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
[Verse 1: chief waKiL]
Just because I was bought up in my environment
Doesn't make me a product of my environment
Naw, now you know that you getting tired
When you look at the calendar and the date says expiring
Why, cause nothing down here's inspiring
So I guess I gotta go higher then
Up, that's the way that I was directed
Living the movie so the critics wanna dissect it
When you arrived, don't worry bout my ex's
Baby we here now and we ain't gotta go back
I blessed the rains of Africa, America's a throwback
We can travel all across the world like Borat
And it don't take 12 years of school for you to know that
How bout we get lost in the sauce with no map
What you need, 4 stacks
Here you go, hold that
New land, new man, do away with the old crap
[Hook]
[Break: chief waKiL]
Baby, let's get away
[Verse 2: chief waKiL]
She now free to move about the country
Better yet, move up out the country
She sittin' front row, coached by the stewardess
I think her flight land here about noon-ish
We so PS3 and they Atari
Firefox, let me take you on Safari
I can't wait to see that weird face
When you find out that Zamunda ain't a real place
I may not drive a Lambo
But I do own land, though
If we ever get evicted out the U.S
This is one place that we damn sure can go
Now I ain't tryna play you like a banjo
Ain't you sick of being treated like sand, beau
I'm just hearing something saying
That we need to get away
So welcome to the Motherland
Whoa
[Hook]
[Interlude: chief waKiL]
Now, I know what you're thinking
I know it seems a little crazy
But, I just think it's the best idea, you know
I think we need to get away to new lands, you know
Don't worry
There's more than dirt and gra** and hungry kids out here
I'm just saying, it's a place of royalty, why not
[Verse 3: chief waKiL]
It's a place where you ain't gotta frown at
Baby, where your crown at
This a place where you can feel good being brown at
Or shout loud "I'm black and I'm proud" at
And you ain't gotta work a day in your life
It's whatever you want, just do it, Nike
Just make sure you do the right thing, Spike
And you don't wanna get left, right
So it's our turn now let's beat it, Ike
(Or Mike
You know, Turn, Ike
Beat It, Mike, or whatever
Whichever one works best for you)
[Hook](2x)
[Outro: Toto]
I bless the rains down in Africa
