[Chorus - x2]
Africa must wake up, the sleeping sons of Jacob For what tomorrow may bring, may a better day come, Yesterday we were kings, can you tell me young ones -- Who are we today? Yeah, now [Verse 1 - Nas (+ Damian Marley)] The black oasis, Ancient Africa the sacred The sleeping giant, science, art is your creation I dreamed that we could visit old Kemet Your history is too complex and rigid for some Western critics They want the whole subject diminished But Africa's the origin of all the world's religions We praise bridges that carried us over The battle fronts of Sudanic soldiers, the task put before us (Do you hear me now?) [Chorus] [Verse 2 - Nas] Who are we today? The slums, diseases, AIDS We need that all to fade, we cannot be afraid So who are we today? We are the morning after, the makeshift youth, The slaveship captured, our diaspora is the final chapter The ancestral lineage built pyramids America's first immigrants, the kings and daughters from our waters The first architect, the first philosophers Astronomers, the first prophets and the doctors were us, us [Bridge - Damian Marley] Now can we all pray? Each in his own way, Teaching and learning, We can work it out We'll have a warm bed, We'll have some warm bread, Shelter from the storm dread, And we can work it out Mother nature feeds all, In farming and drought And though selfish in ways, not to share is out What's a tree without root? Lion without tooth? A lie without truth? You hear me out? [Chorus - x2, but the second one is: Africa must wake up, The sleeping sons of Jacob, What tomorrow may bring, May some more love come, Yesterday we were kings, I tell ya young bloods, The world is yours today...] [K'naan - African verse (??)] [Guitar/Instrumental break] [Nas - talking] We want to thank y'all, everybody out there This is Nas, Damian Marley Distant Relatives.. We're all distant relatives, no matter where you from, where you live How near or far... Africa, China, Japan, Afghanistan, Israel... We're all fam, we're all distant relatives So that's why we came together -- one of the reasons Why myself and Damian came together, 'Cause we all come from one place, and that's Africa That's right, you too. And you. The whole world! We're all family, we're just spread out all over the place So to all my distant relatives, let's take it back home! |

There comes a day in your life
when you wanna kick back Straw hat on the porch when you old perhaps Wanna gather your thoughts have a cold one Brag to your grandkids about how life is golden So I will light a cigar in the corridor of the crib Pictures on the wall of all the things that I did All the money and fame 8 by 10's of the whole Rat Pack inside of a big frame Collidin with big names that could've made your career stop All that and your man is still here and I'm still hot Wow I need a moment y'all See I almost felt a tear drop When was the last time you heard a real anthem Nas the millionaire the mansion When was the last time you heard your boy Nas rhyme Never on schedule but always on time These streets hold my deepest days This hood taught me golden ways Made me truly this is what made me Break me not a thing's gonna break me These streets hold my deepest days This hood taught me golden ways Made me truly this is what made me Break me not a thing's gonna break me I'm that history I'm that block I'm that lifestyle I'm that spot I'm that kid by the number spot That's my past that made me hot Here's my life long anthem Can't forget about you Can't forget about Can't forget about you Can't forget about the old school Bam Cas Melle Mel Flash Rocksteady spinnin on they back Can't forget when the first rap Grammy went to Jazzy Fresh Prince Fat Boys broke up rap hasn't been the same since So irregular how it messed you up when Mr T became a wrestler Can't forget about Jordan's retirement The shot Robert Horry to win the game in the finals kid Some things are forever some things are not It's the things we remember that gave the world shock They stay in a place in your mind so snug Like who the person was with whom you first make love When was the last time you heard a real anthem Nas the millionaire the mansion When was the last time you heard your boy Nas rhyme Never on schedule but always on time These streets hold my deepest days This hood taught me golden ways Made me truly this is what made me Break me not a thing's gonna break me These streets hold my deepest days This hood taught me golden ways Made me truly this is what made me Break me not a thing's gonna break me I'm not history I'm that block I'm that lifestyle I'm that spot I'm that kid by the number spot That's my past that made me hot Here's my life long anthem Can't forget about you Can't forget about you Can't forget about you Unforgettable unsubmittable I go by N now Just one syllable it's the end cause the game's tired It's the same vibe Good Times had right after James died That's why the gangsta rhymers ain't inspired Heinous crimes help record sales more than creative lines And I don't wanna keep bringing up the greater times But I'm a dreamer nostalgic with the state of mind The past the past enough of it aight then But nothing gives me chills like Douglas and Tyson Or Mike when his talk was live Or when he first did the moon walk on Motown 25 When was the last time you heard a real anthem Nas the millionaire the mansion When was the last time you heard your boy Nas rhyme Never on schedule but always on time These streets hold my deepest days This hood taught me golden ways Made me truly this is what made me Break me not a thing's gonna break me These streets hold my deepest days This hood taught me golden ways Made me truly this is what made me Break me not a thing's gonna break me That's why darling it's incredible That someone so unforgettable Thinks that I am unforgettable too |

when you wanna kick back Straw hat on the porch when you old perhaps Wanna gather your thoughts have a cold one Brag to your grandkids about how life is golden So I will light a cigar in the corridor of the crib Pictures on the wall of all the things that I did All the money and fame 8 by 10's of the whole Rat Pack inside of a big frame Collidin with big names that could've made your career stop All that and your man is still here and I'm still hot Wow I need a moment y'all See I almost felt a tear drop When was the last time you heard a real anthem Nas the millionaire the mansion When was the last time you heard your boy Nas rhyme Never on schedule but always on time These streets hold my deepest days This hood taught me golden ways Made me truly this is what made me Break me not a thing's gonna break me These streets hold my deepest days This hood taught me golden ways Made me truly this is what made me Break me not a thing's gonna break me I'm that history I'm that block I'm that lifestyle I'm that spot I'm that kid by the number spot That's my past that made me hot Here's my life long anthem Can't forget about you Can't forget about Can't forget about you Can't forget about the old school Bam Cas Melle Mel Flash Rocksteady spinnin on they back Can't forget when the first rap Grammy went to Jazzy Fresh Prince Fat Boys broke up rap hasn't been the same since So irregular how it messed you up when Mr T became a wrestler Can't forget about Jordan's retirement The shot Robert Horry to win the game in the finals kid Some things are forever some things are not It's the things we remember that gave the world shock They stay in a place in your mind so snug Like who the person was with whom you first make love When was the last time you heard a real anthem Nas the millionaire the mansion When was the last time you heard your boy Nas rhyme Never on schedule but always on time These streets hold my deepest days This hood taught me golden ways Made me truly this is what made me Break me not a thing's gonna break me These streets hold my deepest days This hood taught me golden ways Made me truly this is what made me Break me not a thing's gonna break me I'm not history I'm that block I'm that lifestyle I'm that spot I'm that kid by the number spot That's my past that made me hot Here's my life long anthem Can't forget about you Can't forget about you Can't forget about you Unforgettable unsubmittable I go by N now Just one syllable it's the end cause the game's tired It's the same vibe Good Times had right after James died That's why the gangsta rhymers ain't inspired Heinous crimes help record sales more than creative lines And I don't wanna keep bringing up the greater times But I'm a dreamer nostalgic with the state of mind The past the past enough of it aight then But nothing gives me chills like Douglas and Tyson Or Mike when his talk was live Or when he first did the moon walk on Motown 25 When was the last time you heard a real anthem Nas the millionaire the mansion When was the last time you heard your boy Nas rhyme Never on schedule but always on time These streets hold my deepest days This hood taught me golden ways Made me truly this is what made me Break me not a thing's gonna break me These streets hold my deepest days This hood taught me golden ways Made me truly this is what made me Break me not a thing's gonna break me That's why darling it's incredible That someone so unforgettable Thinks that I am unforgettable too |
