Lyrics
0:43Africa is my descent
0:52And here I am far from home
0:59I dwell within a land that is meant
1:05For many men not my tone
1:10The blood of god is my defense
1:16Let it drop down to my seed
1:20Showers to your innocence
1:25To protect u for all eternity
1:30And with this wood I beat this drum
1:34And we won't see defeat
1:55From kings to queens becomes a prince
1:59Knowledge wisdom is
2:01Understanding what we need
2:03Ever since the day u came
2:05My whole world began to change
2:12I knew then to dedicate my life
2:214 your own
2:25Everyday I see u grow
2:32And remember what u already know
4:07I receive the love
4:12That radiates from your glow
4:18From which u came was love
4:24And that's how it all should be
4:37U and my soul are I
5:01Though all the time and history
Africa is my descent And here I am far from home I dwell within a land that is meant For many men not my tone The blood of god is my defense Let it drop down to my seed Showers to your innocence To protect u for all eternity And with this wood I beat this drum And we won't see defeat From kings to queens becomes a prince Knowledge wisdom is Understanding what we need Ever since the day u came My whole world began to change I knew then to dedicate my life 4 your own Everyday I see u grow And remember what u already know I receive the love That radiates from your glow From which u came was love And that's how it all should be U and my soul are I Though all the time and history
