[Intro]
Are you a committed person to- uh, black people--
I'm so glad you asked that question. I believe liberation and salvation of the black nation must be brought about by black people gaining a third knowledge of self

[Verse 1: Black Thought]
Listen, I dreamed prayers, friendly Duas, lines from Henry Dumas
And cautionary tales witnessed with my own two eyes
A few guys could serve two gods
The difference is a subtle nuance with oxymorons, believe in truе lies
I pretend, my pеn's to the pages again
Thoughts procreate, negotiate the wages of sin
I'm such a stand-out performer I'm unable to blend
They gave me a seat and my power caused the table to spin
I'm the reflection in the glass, the chattels in the grass
The arrow with the wings of a sparrow in his path
I'm his majesty, pharaoh, some will never know the half
They'll forever know the wrath of my paragraph
When the ink linkin’, some thinkin' somethin' evil comin' out
Unreasonable doubt was a feasible amount
Of sacrifice if I'm already unachievably devout
With a contribution that's too inconceivable to count, listen

[Chorus: Seun Kuti]
So many want that good life
Want that new thing
They want that new house, ye-ehh
Designer clothes and shoes
Lavish like the rulers they do
Designer bags and jewelry
Lavish like the rich men they do
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Interlude]
Inspiration and information. So I seriously give information that black people are a people of rhythm and spirit. So I also give inspiration

[Verse 2: Seun Kuti]
Will I go dead today if Nkrumah no dream for me?
Will we go dead today if Sankara no dream for we?
For me lyre, marimba I need a dream
Will I go dead today if kufara no dream for me?
So are they carrying on the mission?
Carrying on the dream, carrying on the torch?
For a long time, we did feel this way and we did feel this hurt
I said the blood keep calling me
Giving me this warrior energy
I said the sacrifice and dedication, African revolution

[Chorus: Seun Kuti]
So many want that good life
Want that new thing
They want that new house, ye-ehh
Designer clothes and shoes
Lavish like the rulers they do
Designer bags and jewelry
Lavish like the rich men they do
Ooh, ooh, ooh
