SAUL WILLIAMS - African Student Movement lyrics

rate me

Freedom, ignorance

Jealousy, belligerence

Anger, self-control

Tolerance, to and fro

Wisdom, ecstacy

Addiction, dependency

Discipline, counter act

Pray for peace, then attack

Dominance. Contradict

Upper class derelict

Downgrade. Downsize

Upstate. Uprise

Now tell me where my niggas at?

Now tell me where my niggas at?

Now tell me where my niggas at?

Now tell me where my niggas at?

Downtown. On the block

At the club. Steaming hot

Dancing. Talking shit

Telling lies. Like a pimp

Meanwhile, underpaid

Read like, second grade

Uncle Sam, sign you up

Benefits. And a gun

Now tell me where my niggas at?

Now tell me where my niggas at?

Now tell me where my niggas at?

Now tell me where my niggas at?

African people

African people

African people

African people

Shotgun

Rise up. Over-stand

Stand your ground. Own your land

Serve all. Love all

Never sleep. Never fall

Meditate. Eat right

Pray first. Then fight

But for truth. Not for fame

Not for glory. Or the game

Now tell me where my niggas at?

Now tell me where my niggas at?

Now tell me where my niggas at?

Now tell me where my niggas at?

African people

African people

African people

African people

Liberia. Iraq

Dark brown. Light black

South Africa. Mozambique

Mud hut. Concrete

AIDS ridden. Heart disease

Strange fruit. Southern trees

Sierre Leone. Diamond mines

Cameroon. Pipe lines

Port au Prince. Salvadore

Civil right. Civil war

Zimbabwe. Trenchtown

Money makin'. Queens bound

BX. Shaolin

Uptown. Brooklyn

Upstate. Newburgh

Unseen. Unheard

Now tell me where my niggas at?

Now tell me where my niggas at?

Now tell me where my niggas at?

Now tell me where my niggas at?

African people

African people

African people

African people
