letra de several stories - billy quattro

now i’ma rap about africa but don’t know where to start
talked to wainina he advised that i go straight for the heart
of darkness and start this in the jungle with “the people”
then savannas and safaris when i get to the sequel
but achebe wrote the media paints africa poorly
so let’s not tarnish the name with a single story
its a story you know, its a story ya heard
its why when you hear “african” you mind just pictures “villager”
he’s either got and ak or he comes from a tribe
he’s either fighting for a warlord or he hunts to survive
but if you ever visited, ya know, to see with your eyes
the sights that you might behold i think would leave you surprised

ya see now, sources skim on africa’s deep past
but god, you must be crazy if you believin that trash
you think that, they really tripping over bottles of gl-ss
word to sunjata he gone smash it with his iron staff
couldn’t walk he got up with dalilu
now ripping baobabs up by the tree roots
theres power in smithing that’s something mali knew
tied in to religion, smiths mystical people
watch adanggaman and you might find yourself thinking
africans had slaves too how is they different
but methods vary greatly from across the atlantic
had a different form of slavery it was far less satanic
mzalia get freed after the 7th generation
america your kid goes to a different plantation
its time that we got to decolonization
africans wanted freedom west said “y’all just have patience”
nyerere said “nah man, tanganyika’s done waiting”
and i want my jacket back you’re just the ones that would take it
apartheid left biko awfully frustrated
he found a sleeping black conscious and he chose to awake ch
ch-challenge the africa we always heard about
gotta get the facts in and the biases out
and if there’s one thing that you ought to keep in your head
you can put a bullet in him but the child’s not dead
no p-ss
