Professor A.L.I. - Things Fall Apart lyrics
rate meImperialism, a mother's imprisoned
Carved up homeland like said you killing said you destroy
Villages and built of wishes Karavans of Kriminals,
Struck colonialism
Colonial vision, my ... decisions ...
My Africa seed ... interdependent progress try to live then
Why men fear, hiv's given and ... got cannot be hidden
Ask yourselves then who be god children
Say Africans black men and women
Ashackled in ..then, broken through whips ...
... but ... still be listen
...philosophy, ... is god's true ...
Africa, mama Africa, you raised us and gave us hope
They chained us and made us choke
Ride us and left us wrong
And waiting for us to crawl
Things fall apart not falr
With your last breath, we spawn
To redemption is what he wrote
My friend was a cab driver, slim live African brother
Who love red lobster crabs fly brother
Taking us every place in New York to buy drugs
We used to hang a lot, talking just vibe
Wish you ..life happen
Keep clothes on his kids, back and be black see I feel you
We laughed 8 ... and played ...
But one day ... they took my homie
... then got a phone call, you choking you wouldn't believe
... stare my son ... when I found out
I fell to the ground ... 28 days of rain
4 weeks later they came, caught his wife in the bed ...
Africa, mama Africa, you raised us and gave us hope
They chained us and made us choke
Ride us and left us wrong
And waiting for us to crawl
Things fall apart not far
With your last breath, we spawn
To redemption is what he wrote
Ah, when you think of Africa tell me what comes to mind
Is it the poverty cause probably they told you was lies
Cause they never show you the other side of the continent
The bright lights, the skyscrapers, city that's prominent
And most of us are travelling in search of our goals
Like this man that I know almost 80 years old
He said he hates the cold but never saved enough to go home
They got me thinking, damn how we slaves of the system
Travelling overseas, we seize to become victims
Forgetting where you from hear the drums that you missing
Cause Africa is more than a verse in a song
It's a ...state with faith whether right or wrong
This goes out to everyone that's rapping this hard
From the streets of ... to the block in Dakkar
Ambassador, Raekwon and Professor Ali,
Hear the brothers right back on the map, gotta believe
Mama Africa, you millennium
Revelation hope on horizon come
The skirt on .. lives again
Tragedy strengthen all brethren
The origin of men, footsteps of the billion souls
Alone mother grieves, the darker flesh, deeper connects
The savior to collect, all these debts
Africa, mama Africa, you raised us and gave us hope
They chained us and made us choke
Ride us and left us wrong
And waiting for us to crawl
Things far apart not fall
With your last breath, we spawn
To redemption is what he wrote.<br />
