Lyrics

I reach deep down what do I find

Discernment for the things inside

I clear my mind and that's the time

Nothing really matters but space and time

I see perfect minds occupied

Judging other people on the things they buy (well)

At the time, on the other side

People work hard to desensitize

Like a group of guys who set their minds

Dupe you up 'till the day you die, well

Here it goes a final thought

What do we do with the things we're taught

You seek you find, live to shop

All you got are the things you bought

What really matters is what you want, well

Some reason you're not on top

I said, thanks a lot, I'd rather not, invest my life

To a scheme that rots, well

When you die you're all alone, except your soul that's all you got

Don't matter where you're from, Africa in your blood

Don't matter where you're from (child) Africa in your blood

Don't matter where you're from (child) Africa in your blood

Don't matter where you're from (child) Africa in your blood

So

Thinking about the path you're on

Before you know it your path is gone (yeah)

Before you're gone you right your wrong, well

Sing a song and sell belongs

To the ones that'll hold when you say goodbye

Ones who will hold it when you're momma cries

Leap of faith, better place

Cleaning up the waste of the human race, man

Forget about what people think, child

Some of them refuse to think, of

A better way, no morals today

Whatever they gotta do so they get paid, see

Men behave trying to get made (man)

Some of them got a reason to be afraid

Talk the talk, walk the walk

Every single cheater bound to get caught

Don't matter where you're from, Africa in your blood

Don't matter where you're from Africa in your blood

Don't matter where you're from (child) Africa in your blood

Don't matter where you're from (child) Africa in your blood

(Afrika)

So

Thinking about the days gone by

What have we done for the hungry eyes, see

Compromised, a pride disguised

Seeking out the wisdom of a worldly prize, see it

Blows my mind, we capitalized

Turning record profits like they prophesized, on

Material possessions no love or affection

Dropping all this money without a conviction, well

Someone tell me please

Talking about the body that's redeemed

Instead of praying on our knees, see we

Lining up buying flat screen TV's

For what, for who (yeah)

Some of y'all straight confused, of

A better way, make a change today

Put down those stupid nintendo games, and

Once you get a taste

A whole new race

Feed a hungry face like the human race

For blood, for love (my soul)

It don't matter where you from

Don't matter where you're from, Africa in your blood

Don't matter where you're from, Africa in your blood

Don't matter where you're from (child) Africa in your blood

Don't matter where you're from (child) Africa in your blood
