Lyrics
I identify as Nigerian more than I identify as American
Because America is not my home, this is my home
(applause)
Uh, Nigeria the country that I call my home
Took a trip to Rome, faced discrimination
Put that on my phone, I'm getting sick and tired
Of not fitting with the culture
They label me a vulture based upon the lives we live in
These niggas will not listen cause I'm stuck inside a prison
I'm not Americano, we switching up the motto
An African no soy mulatto, another bottle
Jollof Rice and chicken, I saw throughout the kitchen
If I make a decision to learn more about my culture
Not classified a vulture, I started getting older
Started loving Lagos, instead of loving Vegas
America can't say this, but niggas are diverse
If you an African person you learn about yourself
Learn about your culture cause that's where you truly from
Never let a person ever try to call you dumb
Fuck Caucasians who classify me a bum
I think I've had enough, live is that rough
Sometimes you look in the skin to express how you ashamed
Why you're skin black, but you white named?
Old white male the person that I blamed
It was in the game, it was in the game
My adolescent years were spent with no identity
I think you clearly see you have to learn about your race
Or you will be on a chase for the validation of the others
And they ain't your brothers, try to kill you and another
Separate you from the culture then they label you as slaves
And all they ever gave was a money and a bag
They say go chase a bag instead of helping out your people
I think that is too evil, I think that might lethal
I may be spitting truth, while sitting in the booth
Did you know that Africa way blacker than Duluth
Silly ass Americans don't want to hear the truth
I'm spitting out the booth like a monkey on the loose
There ain't no time to be nervous
Got to chase my only purpose
If I want to make a change and people think it's way too strange
Come from struggle and the pain
Thinking we selling cocaine, thinking we don't have a brain
Are things ever going to change?
If you an African person you learn about yourself
Learn about your culture cause that's where you truly from
Never let a person ever try to call you dumb
Fuck Caucasians who classify me a bum
I think I've had enough, live is that rough
Sometimes you look in the skin to express how you ashamed
Why you're skin black, but you white named?
Old white male the person that I blamed
It was in the game, it was in the game
