Llyric Morrison - Mama Africa

So, you don't like me
I heard you want to fight me
Because my color is frightening
So, you don't like me
I heard you want to fight me
Because my color is frightening
I know we ain't talking about cliches
How we live like that these days
I just think that we need prayers
We need hope
We don't need mayor's
We need police
We don't need pig's
With no empathy
Killing a black man
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
You see that I'm running
You see that I'm running
I see that you're fronting
A blizzard is coming
Its cold and its icy
The truth is decisive
You know I ain't lying
You know that I'm trying
To tell you this truth
As I stand in this booth
They be trying to silence us
Breaking the roof
Mama Africa take us back
Every day as I pray for them
To spray love
I just wish we were the same
No one is above us
But sometimes I got to say
Take me back mama Africa
Take me back mama Africa
Take me back mama Africa
Let me feel the love and the heat
Take me back mama Africa
Take me back mama Africa
Take me back mama Africa
Give me freedom and set me free
Yeah some call me a microphone murderer
Some call me a "n" to the "i" to the double "g" to the "a", wait
Believing all the things
That they never saw, wait
Stuck in a time
That they never leave, wait
Eyes open, but they blind, yeah
Time's frozen in a time, yeah
Where they think
We ain't got no rights, yeah
We keep it one hundred
We keep it one hundred
We living the feeling
Of keeping one hundred
We keep it one hundred
We keep it one hundred
We living the feeling
Of keeping one hundred
Every day
As I pray for them
To spray love
I just wish
We were the same
No one's above us
But sometimes I got to say
Take me back mama Africa
Take me back mama Africa
Take me back mama Africa
Let me feel the love and the heat
Take me back mama Africa
Take me back mama Africa
Take me back mama Africa
Give me freedom and set me free
Take me back mama Africa
Take me back mama Africa
Take me back mama Africa
Let me feel the love and the heat
Take me back mama Africa
Take me back mama Africa
Take me back mama Africa
Give me freedom and set me free
