My history bruised by 400 years of slavery
Every day the tragedy resounds in the depths of my memory
Trough over the years I’ve learnt to speak the language of the prophecy
Now I can read between the lines of hypocrisy
Hip hop be the guarantee through which I gained my legacy
Touring around the world and speaking about the miracle called love
If you know like I do that ain’t nothing above
Spread your L to the sky like a flying dove
I belong to the School Of Life
The school of knowledge of wisdom the struggle for freedom’s
Become the only reason for which I beat the rhythm
Limelights I beat em from Dakar to Shangai
Come attend the show and you’ll see what a musical crime’s like
I don’t care who got his finger on the trigger
I’m just programmed to flare up crowds and burn the loud speakers
One trust I put in the Alpha and Omega
Fighting for the world to pay respect to Africa
Daara J Family as you see, the odysee follows its course
Of course it’s strange, money causes the divorce
But ain’t no effect without a cause
Still foes set their cross but can’t exhaust our resource

Senegal's where we’re from
We wasn’t taught to handle guns
But we’ve learnt to rap for the hungry mouth to get his crum

Where in the downpressors play the victims
Who shall fulfill Martin Luther King's dream
And teach the youths dem a brethren and sisthren

We go the hardest inna di struggle fi di human race
Africa we belong and represent till our death
Fight fi equal rights till the last breath
We call all di nation inna dis ya combination
