Young Man (Skillz 1) ft. KB & ElDee Lyrics

Young man now tell me where you dey get your skills from

You must have gotten it from foreign land

You speak to tight to be African

Young man now tell me where you dey get your skills from

You must have gotten it from foreign land

You speak to tight to be Africaa an

But as friends, I speak to tight

But im African

Omo from Nigerian

Se bi awon lowa gbe wa lo oo

I remember the time

They came and took her upon the way

Now the rain is falling

The sun is shining bright

And they keep asking me where do you get your skills from

I hear my people say rap is not an African art

Ah come on

It’s a black thing so I choose to play my part

Ancestors took rhythm and applaud it with poetry

It’s a thing of the mind, its styles as the fluency

Tells with tunes and rhymes so back in time

From the pyramids of Egypt to this hypocritical days of mine

And civilization started in my backyard

Genesis of all nation written by God

Im Nigerian, I represent the area I’m from

I speak tight in my mother tongue

No ideas is original, nothing new under the sun

Is never what you do or how its done

Young man now tell me where you dey get your skills from

You must have gotten it from foreign land

You speak to tight to be African

Young man now tell me where you dey get your skills from

You must have gotten it from foreign land

You speak to tight to be Africaa an

It aint my fault that im sort of a linguist

I speak, Yoruba, hausa, german and English

Because they cant distinguish brethren both from abeokuta

They both of the hinges

Therefore, we don’t sell Nigerian cuz we tight like being wack is a criteria

And on the other hand, cuz both the man is here pork

We got to represent the motherland all in sports and university

Originated only for dispersals

To boss up the world were there are not indigenous

What identify us should not imprison us

Visions us not, united, divided we wouldn’t fall

If that should advert then we shouldn’t play football

Music has no race or gender

That’s the message some of us are faceless sender

Young man now tell me where you dey get your skills from

You must have gotten it from foreign land

You speak to tight to be African

Young man now tell me where you dey get your skills from

You must have gotten it from foreign land

You speak to tight to be Africaa an

Young man (maidala)

You see hip hop was taken away from us now its back

Young man

And we loving any meaning of it

Young man

Say my name once more

Young man

Oh yh

Be proud of who you are keep being black

One love baby
