Sonny - Noah the African lyrics
rate meSomebody want me in the prison
Somebody told me not to look
You ask for wisdom in the morning
But at night you play the crook, oh, Lord
You see, the man’s been lying to you
They only show you what you see
I bet you think Noah was a white man, huh?
Or that he built an ark with ease
They say, “Man, what’s your problem?
‘Cause this ain’t nothing new”
I say, “Allah Yoroba"
It’s just my God is talking through”
They ain’t fooling us, over here we know the truth
Can an old man build a stadium somewhere out the blue?
God said, “Noah, get your people out I’ll save you if you do”
So he headed for the mountains up in Turkey with his crew
More likely to be saved from the rain in a cave
40 days hid away with all his family and some cattle
All the animals who traveled so they wouldn’t have to paddle
Dabble into all this grace I'm teaching speaking hymns you'll soon believe in
He said, “Don’t be scared, no
Don’t be scared, no, no
If the flood gets high I’mma blow, blow, blow
with the whirlwind keep your cave dry when the world ends
And that’s the truth, the only truth that you should tell them”
Think about me in your sleep, read about me in a week
You better pray, better pray, pray, pray
‘Cause I’mma talk this truth all day, check it out
The forecast is broadcast from God’s path
I’m Petey Greene, Just the people’s voice with more gas
Truth tellers the both let us expose the Devil
Picking battles to battle kings on different levels
I’m Jay Z if he knew God, so whose that
Saying I’m a liar turn to stringer from the wire
like Mandela, my introduction will make you feel that
A little rain, I turn to Noah, homie, feel that?
Ride around town till I’m out of gas and I hit the break and I call a cab
And I take it home to the church doors
Open up and I take a bath and that pool of grace in that holy place
With my momma looking like make them pay
And I hear the voice so I make a choice
And I call my team like I’m done with this
Somebody want me in the prison
Somebody told me not to look
You ask for wisdom in the morning
But at night you play the crook, oh, Lord
You see, the man’s been lying to you
They only show you what you see
I bet you think Noah was a white man, huh?
Or that he built an ark with ease
They say, “Man, what’s your problem?
‘Cause this ain’t nothing new”
I say, "Allah Yoroba"
It’s just my God is talking through”
He said, “Don’t be scared, no
Don’t be scared, no, no
If the flood gets high I’mma blow, blow, blow
With the whirlwind keep your cave dry when the world ends
And that’s the truth, the only truth that you should tell them”
Think about me in your sleep, read about me in a week
You better pray, better pray, pray, pray
‘Cause I’mma talk this truth all day, check it out
The story of Noah’s ark is an ancient Mesopotamian tale
Found out on the 11th tablet of the Gilgamesh epic
It took Noah and his family 8 months to travel from their native home in Lake Chad in Africa
To the Turkish hideout
While in the cave a miraculous whirlwind prevented the waters from reaching them
The same whirlwind was later used to split the Red Sea into two for Moses and the Israelites
That’s called the theory of likeness
I’m a Muslim Christian, come join us
