Lyrics and translation
Original
Come on. Yeah. Come on. Yeah.
Come on. Yeah. Come on. Yeah.
Yo,
I've been telling myself before anything else I'm an African man.
I've been to the village, I know all my kin like the back of my hand.
I've been dealing with women and feelings that you couldn't catch if you can.
I run till I'm back to my head on your lap or my back on the sand.
Come on, come on. Yeah.
Come on, come on. Yeah, yeah.
Come on, come on.
Yeah, yeah.
Come on, come on. Yeah, yeah. Uh.
Be cast in the belly of Britain but still eating okro soup.
They don't understand I'm an African man, what you want me to do?
I have mine with a spoon. They thinking I'm cool or tryna be boujie.
I learn it from school, when boarding they ruled your hands are for duty.
Yeah, counting the rat. Yeah, hand on the backs. Wait, thought you was different.
Wait, that was a gnat.
Wait, could this really be the same knife that was used in the bucket to bath?
Or the one that won't pick up the phone 'cause you don't wanna trouble the staff?
Come on, come on.
Yeah, yeah. Come on, come on. Yeah, yeah. Come on, come on. Yeah, yeah.
Come on, come on. Yeah, yeah.
Yo, a story my mom used to tell me that happened in Naij when I was a baby.
They threw a parade in the village with dancing and drinking in front of the ladies.
This one had a masquerade that came, my ma had me up on her waist.
They thought that I'd gasp, but pulled the little mask right off of his face.
It kinda reminds me of problems I've gone through today.
Pulled off the mask on a couple of things, and since then it wasn't the same.
If you knew the half, you wouldn't believe me. It come like a movie.
If you saw the masks I pulled in my past, you'd think I was rolling with Scooby.
Come on, come on.
Yeah, yeah. Come on, come on. Yeah, yeah.
Yo, I've been telling myself before anything else I'm an African man.
I've been to the village, I know all my kin like the back of my hand.
I've been dealing with women and feelings that you couldn't catch if you can.
I run till I'm back to my head on your lap or my back on the sand.
