African Dreams - Remix Lyrics by Seun Kuti, Black Thought
African Dreams EP
2022
[Intro] Are you a committed person to- uh, black people-- I'm so glad you asked that question. I believe liberation and salvation of the black nation must be brought about by black people gaining a third knowledge of self [Verse 1: Black Thought] Listen, I dreamed prayers, friendly Duas, lines from Henry Dumas And cautionary tales witnessed with my own two eyes A few guys could serve two gods The difference is a subtle nuance with oxymorons, believe in truе lies I pretend, my pеn's to the pages again Thoughts procreate, negotiate the wages of sin I'm such a stand-out performer I'm unable to blend They gave me a seat and my power caused the table to spin I'm the reflection in the glass, the chattels in the grass The arrow with the wings of a sparrow in his path I'm his majesty, pharaoh, some will never know the half They'll forever know the wrath of my paragraph When the 8 makin' some, thinkin' somethin' evil comin' out Unreasonable doubt was a feasible amount Of sacrifice if I'm already unachievably devout With a contribution that's too inconceivable to count, listen [Chorus: Seun Kuti] So many want that good life Want that new thing They want that new house, ye-ehh Designer clothes and shoes Lavish like the rulers they do Designer bags and jewelry Lavish like the rich men they do Ooh, ooh, ooh [Interlude] Inspiration and information. So I seriously give information that black people are a people of rhythm and spirit. So I also give inspiration [Verse 2: Seun Kuti] Will I go dead today if Nkrumah no dream for me? Will we go dead today if Sankara no dream for we? For me lyre, marimba I need a dream Will I go dead today if kufara no dream for me? So are they carrying on the mission? Carrying on the dream, carrying on the torch? For a long time, we did feel this way and we did feel this hurt I said the blood keep calling me Giving me this warrior energy I said the sacrifice and dedication, African revolution [Chorus: Seun Kuti] So many want that good life Want that new thing They want that new house, ye-ehh Designer clothes and shoes Lavish like the rulers they do Designer bags and jewelry Lavish like the rich men they do Ooh, ooh, ooh
