6. Things Fall Apart
THINGS FALL APART
Things Fall Apart by Professor A.L.I. featuring Raekwon Da Chef & Blitz the Ambassador
VERSE 1:
Imperialism, a mother’s imprisoned
Carved up homeland like surgical incisions
Destroyed villages and built up missions,
Karavans of Kriminals called Kolonialism (KKK)
Colonial vision, myopic decisions
Low intensity battles, rule thru division
Mama Africa seed, vengeful then risen
Independence, progress, start to live then
White men fear, H.I.V.’s given
& atheism, God canot be hidden
Ask urselves then, who be God’s children?
Say: Africans! Black men and women
Shackled and shipped then, broken thru whippins
Yoke on the neck, but head still be liftin’
One-Two philosophy, got pale faces trippin
‘Cuz faith in heart, is God’s true gift mayn
HOOK:
Africa, Mama Africa, Oh!
You raised us, and gave us hope
They chained us, and made us choke
Raped us, and left us broke,
And waited for us to croak
Things fall apart, not folk
With your last breathe we spoke:
‘Redemption is what He wrote’
VERSE 4:
Mama Africa, new millenium
Revelation, hope on horizon come
The spirit of Dan Fodio lives again
Tragedy strengthen all brethren
The origin of men, footsteps of Eve
A billion souls, a lone mother grieves
The Darker flesh, deeper connects
A savior to collent all these debts
