Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This my tempo, smoke it like a menthol
Black man on a mission doing what I'm meant to
Suckas can't do it like this, oh no
Watch 'em fall down off the pedestal
What you doing up there anyway?
Kids call me unk, I ain't here to play
Treat our culture like a little game
Oprah type shit on some giveaway
You can be the leader, she can be the leader
Everyone a leader till these fools don't need ya
We just trying to teach you the principals
Mob always die, can I live some more?
Build that fire in a world so cold
Walk on hot coals just to let 'em know
Just to let 'em know
Just to let 'em know
[Chorus]
Njun wamba-mi nyinang njun
Njun wamba-mi nyinang njun
Bawa baba-i biba yangu
Yangu yirinda nyina
Brother, lift up your brother
Sisters, children and all
If they tell you to sit down
Hold that head up and stand tall
[Verse 2]
Yeah, yeah, it's like hold up, wait a minute
This right here might hit you different
I don't really care about your petition
Lobbying blacks and these politicians
Walk up in this bitch and I'm cold dripping
Talk to me nice like you code switching
You and me 'cause we ain't no different
We fight the same demons and they so vicious
Tell me what it feel like in that role
Dance around on the merry-go
Do anything for the white man doe
Stack that bread then off you go
Like oh my, he did good
He came up just like he should
He did what we never could
But why he never come around the neighbourhood?
[Chorus]
Njun wamba-mi nyinang njun
Njun wamba-mi nyinang njun
Bawa baba-i biba yangu
Yangu yirinda nyina
Brother, lift up your brother (Lift up your brother)
Sisters, children and all (Sisters, children and all)
If they tell you to sit down (If they tell you to sit down)
Hold that head up and stand tall
[Outro]
It's like hold up, wait a minute
I think they want us dead they gon' make a killing
Hold up, wait a minute
You better fall back unless you willing
Hold up, wait a minute
I think they want us dead, they gon' make a killing
Hold up, wait a minute
You better fall back unless you willing
Hold up wait a minute
