Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Nu Africa
Nu Africa
Yeah, Cyhi
Nu Africa
What we tell 'em?
Tell the motherland that a **** comin' back for her
Nu Africa
[Verse 2]
Imagine if all the rappers were to get with all the athletes
Or activist and actors for a conference in Zaire
To meet with all the ambassadors
In the motherland, tell 'em we comin' back for her
America, know if we leave, it'd be a massacre
Zimbabwe would be full of drug dealers and traffickers
Smokin' brassica, pick all the hoes for Magic up
Tell Tabitha, let a **** Cleopatra her
So we can build a neighborhood out in Zambia
Tell Khaled to build another one in Tanzania
What if Jay and B went and bough some land in Egypt?
And Puffy put a stripper club off the sands of Kenya?
[Verse 3]
Nu Africa
Since American can't stand to see us
Let's show 'em why you never bite the hand that feeds you
Nu Africa
Call Akon to light the city up
Palace, bought the compound in Libya
Nu Africa
What if they had a Follie's in Nigeria?
Huh, a King of Diamonds in Liberia
Ballin' in Algeria, ain't gotta put my jewelry up
And if you black, you fit the criteria
Nu Africa
We need Oprah to open up some more schools
Tell Michael Jordan we need some more shoes
Nu Africa
Make sure ever rapper still got Pro Tools
I'm just sayin', that'd be a bold move
Huh, make Obama the president
His daddy from Kenya so that makes even better sense
Tell Morehouse to bring all the medicine
Botchey got a party out in Ghana, tell 'em let us in
[Verse 4]
Nu Africa
Nu African
Nu Africa
Tell the motherland that a **** comin' back for her
Nu Africa
Nu Africa
Nu Africa
Tell the motherland that a **** comin' back for her
[Verse 5]
I found utopia in Ethiopia
I gotta be with beautiful women, I got a phobia
But my side ho from Morocco
And I got another chick in Nairbi 'cause
Nu Africa
I look like Fela Kuti when I'm rollin' up
Prolly 'cause all the groupies show me love
Nu Africa
I'm on my way down to Cape Town
They say that's a young ****'s playground
I met this chick from Mail in the party
She said she took a molly in the party
Man I swear her titties were so big
I said, Pardon me, but who let Dolly in the party?
[Verse 6]
Magic Johnson built some condos in the Congo
Kanye build the mall out in Senegal
Turn the Rwanda to a five star, with a spa
Chillin' in the Angola with at skinny little Guinea broad
Somewhere in her twenty's and she get my little Jimmy hard
'Cause her whole physique is unique
She petite, plus her daddy is the king of Mozambique
When I met him, he had on that new Patek Philipe
Took a seat
Everything kosher like Jewish meat
My mystique got her intrigued in disbelief
And she speak six different languages including Greek
And I love the way her booty cheeks move to the beat
I'm Prince Akeem
And you must be my queen to be
Just think of playin' gold off the Gulf of Guinea beach
Somewhere in Cameroon, rollin' plenty tree
And a bunch of beef souya, we don't do no Mickey D's
[Verse 7]
In Nu Africa
Nu Africa
Nu Africa
Tell the motherland that a **** comin' back for her
[Verse 8]
Tell the motherland that a **** comin' back for her
[Verse 9]
She's the brith place of all life
Where the sons of Abrams found wives
The Batsheba, the Esthers, the Eve's
Imagine queens who went to Spellmen , swimmin' in the Red Sea
Backstrokin' in two piece bikinis off the stent of their degrees
Bodies handcrafted by the finger tips of God with the brains to match
Ain't no self hate, ain't no slave trade, ain't no **** to catch
Gold flowin' through out veins like water flowin' through the Nile
Walkin' through Jerusalem in Yeezy boots before the exile
Imagine August Wilson sittin' on the same throne as Mansa Musa did
Writing stories of empowerment and self righteousness for our kids
Imagine how we all suddenly come to our senses
Ain't no dick ridin', ain't no marginalization, ain't no ridin' fences
Beaches filled with blue skies and white sand
We'd all have money and stock
All own a piece of the rock, a piece of the land
As the original people unified we'd all stand
Imagine a place where all the creators of all the new ways
Stood in one space
I'm talkin' touch tone phones, pressin' combs and potato chips
Box them bitches up, sell 'em to other nations
And send 'em off in slave ships
[Verse 10]
Nu Africa
Tell the motherland that a **** comin' back for her
[Verse 11]
For he that is dead, is free from sin
