New Day Africa

Salute young kings & young queens

We won’t do you like they did us

We’ll leave you in a better place

Give you major keys and a platform to thrive

Don’t consume yourself with politics, fear or laziness

You’re a child of the African soil

You have the African lion heart in you

And everything is rooted from you

The crying sounds of the African drum

The restlessness of the African silence

Tell these Europeans, Chinese, Indians, Arabs and our own African traitors

To leave us alone

Pay us back for everything you owe us and leave us the fuck alone

It’s time to start over Africa

Time to get down to the root of things

With the knowledge and courage to fix them

Tell our leaders to straighten up

There’s an expiration stamp on your crown

And we’re watching, watching real close

We won’t accept apologies when it’s time to hold you accountable

All I wanted to do was make my mama proud

She never had a voice, choice or skill set to live on

Yo fellows, why do we hold our women back?

Is it because we want to hide our weakness?

Nah that’s a thing of the past

My queens are shot callers and rain makers

They see between the lines and can point out wolves in my heard of sheep

They’re the ones I celebrate my trophies with

The only ones who fill my heart with peace and love
