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
