[male
vocals] (
Drum
roll,
steady
bass
pulse)
Yeah,
yeah
Listen
to
the
rhythm
of
the
roots
Deep
within,
it
never
fades
One
heart,
one
soul,
one
vibration
I
walk
with
the
drum
in
my
chest
Red
soil
in
my
step
Grandmother’
s
names
on
my
tongue
Like
a
song
I
won’
t
forget
I’
ve
crossed
many
borders
But
they
never
crossed
me
In
my
bloodline
river
There’
s
a
whole
old
sea
So
don’
t
tell
me
who
I
am
I
know
where
I
begin
From
the
mango
tree
to
the
market
road
It’
s
living
under
my
skin
I’
m
not
African
Because
I
was
born
in
Africa
Africa
was
born
in
me
Africa
was
born
in
me
Africa
was
born
in
me
Africa
was
born
in
me
I’
m
not
African
Because
I
was
born
in
Africa
Africa
was
born
in
me
Africa
was
born
in
me
On
the
bus
at
dawn
With
the
sack
and
the
smile
Watching
the
shadows
dance
For
a
weary
country
mile
The
city
lights
might
flicker
With
a
cold,
artificial
glow
But
the
spirit
in
the
concrete
Is
the
only
truth
I
know
My
ancestors
whisper
In
the
wind
through
the
gate
They
tell
me
keep
moving
Don’
t
let
them
decide
your
fate
I’
m
not
African
Because
I
was
born
in
Africa
Africa
was
born
in
me
Africa
was
born
in
me
I’
m
not
African
Because
I
was
born
in
Africa
Africa
was
born
in
me
Africa
was
born
in
me
It’
s
in
the
way
I
hold
my
head
It’
s
in
the
prayers
that
I’
ve
said
It’
s
in
the
salt
and
the
grain
It’
s
in
the
joy
and
the
pain
Oh,
it
runs
deep,
so
deep
Promises
that
we
keep
So
let
the
world
spin
fast
I
am
anchored
in
the
ground
In
the
silence
of
the
morning
It
is
the
only
sound
I
carry
the
map
in
my
spirit
I
carry
the
fire
in
my
eyes
Underneath
the
open
canopy
Of
these
endless,
morning
skies
I’
m
not
African
Because
I
was
born
in
Africa
Africa
was
born
in
me
Africa
was
born
in
me
I’
m
not
African
Because
I
was
born
in
Africa
Africa
was
born
in
me
Africa
was
born
in
me
Africa
was
born
in
me
Africa
was
born
in
me
Africa
was
born
in
me
Yeah,
it’
s
living
under
my
skin
Deep
inside,
forever
flow
Roots
and
culture,
let
it
grow (
Fade
out
with
heavy
bass
and
steady
drums)
