Reflection Eternal - Africa Dream lyrics
[Reflection Eternal - Africa Dream lyrics]
If you can talk you can sing
If you can walk you can dance
That's an old proverb from Zimbabwe
You know what I mean
If you can talk you can sing
If you can walk you can dance
Yeah, and the trumpet is blown
Yeah, alright, C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Alright, Wooh!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, one more time
Yo, anybody can tell you how it is
What we putting down right here is how
It is and how it could be
Reflection Eternal for real and with that-
These cats is no match plus they
Lack a certain knack for rapping
Chasin' but they never catch the wagon
Like Re-run and "What's Happening"
Since back when they had potty issues
And snotty tissues we been rockin'
Think you poppin' next year
Nobody will miss you
My thoughts is too advanced for
The artists on these labels
They come sweeter than sabal and
Softer than mashed potatoes
I tried to told you the rhymes
Run over emcees like Land Rovers
Took 'em back in time like Sankofa, Sankofa
We stand over the Atlantic
Looking broad like a man's shoulders
The fire is trapped in a belly
Ready to pop like canned soda
We outlasting, from middle passage
Touched down in New York
Cincinnatay! Big Ohio status what you thought
Money it's classic these bastards try
To treat us like cattle
So life has been a constant battle, battle
Rising above the crabs in the barrel
Way too used to living in death's shadow
We stay on point like the best arrow, arrow
We hit the target accurate
Star shit, back it up
When we hit town, y'all niggas pack it up
That's how we get down, straight smash it up
Like a whip, hydroplaning
Hydro on the brain and maintaining
Game changing into subtle shit
We remain blatant
Yo, got to tell you to your face
You get replaced in this game, by Kweli
Place the face with the name
These cats drink champagne and toast
To death and pain
Like slaves on a ship talking about
Who got the flyest chain
Yo, we the reflection of our ancestors
We'd like to thank you for the
Building blocks you left us
Cause your spirit possessed us
Yo, you blessed us thank you very much
Yo, we the reflection of our ancestors
We'd like to thank you for the
Building blocks you left us
Cause your spirit possessed us
Yo, you blessed us thank you very much
God bless you
If you can walk you can dance
That's an old proverb from Zimbabwe
You know what I mean
If you can talk you can sing
If you can walk you can dance
Yeah, and the trumpet is blown
Yeah, alright, C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Alright, Wooh!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, one more time
Yo, anybody can tell you how it is
