Zingalamaduni lyrics

I need some time to ease my mind
Thrusted in a world that I don't know
from my mamas lips between my mamas hips
I'm cuddled by her hands because she understands
it's that bond that keeps the movement movin' on.
Life is surrounded with so many insecurities
back stabbin' is like breathing when in poverty.
I try to make my sanity, with the insane

Taking a bath within the sun rays
Letting the aura of life soak me
living in the country chickens, cows, all around me
I'me bored I'll take a drive into the city limits
yo life is just a secret recipe & I'm all up in it.
Being the grand papa that I am one can forget it
today I figure I deserve to swerve
from my normal nerdy status that engulfs my time & that is

Another morning kneelin' at my altar
the day is faced with a bunch of grace
on my case in this worldly rat race
to keep the pace I depend on ancestors and God
and by the way my real name is Todd.
That's how my dead ancestors address me
that is those that knew me as that.
My African name hasn't been revealed yet.
My knees don't mind the bendin'

Our fair country Canada
Is north of the USA
Our maritimes are lovely
And our prairies give us hay
You might think you Yankees are better than us Canucks
But we don't need no microchips inside our hockey pucks

We know that you've got Disney World
And you keep it very clean
We don't have Bob Dole
But we can drink when we're 19
We even watch your TV shows for hours and hours and hours

My skin could never no curse, no it can't
I wear it like a prom tuxedo
I wear my hair as if its the sun and...
each and every dread is a powerful light ray
never wanted things to be in reverse cuz
GOD makes waves wise travellers so
my views of this world are ever growing
thus ever growing is the way one must view me
A soul of conviction unjustly convicted

The great depression everyone is in depression
No one knows exactly what's their role
totally confused, depressed cuz of the news
Watch TV, more bad is what U see
Everyone's lost & were looking for a savior
Everyone's blind & were looking for a leader
We've lost our faith so we need someone to guide us
Right now it's so easy to be deceived
I'm climbing my soul to reach to newer levels

It's aprroximately 6:30 in the a.m,
this is Baba Oje speaking directly to you,
right down to earth in a language one can easily understand.
We gat a list of hits coming at this hour?.this is WMFW fm.
This hour we got Bob Marley, the sounds of Miriam Makeba, Muta Baruka, we
gat the life music group gumbo coming atcha this hour, we gat public

United minds of America
make your vocal chords reach the clouds and
touch the crowd of folks that overstand there's no jokes
we must network together as one &
tell the oppressor we'll take no less than
total justice a social setting yo I'm bettin'
we can stop new world order
start servin liberty may I take your order
free political prisoners without no question
let's give props where due

Yes, indeedy sho-nuff needy
I got the feeling to stretch on ot
my children are cryin' my elders are dying
& me I'm relying on a check for rent
If I gotta be broke then ain't no joke
I'm moving to the country and buying some land.
and I'll be alright if I can rest at night
knowing my children got land to stand on.
Ache'n 4 acres plenty of acres
money spent in rent ain't earning me cent.

Just a shell until U decide to rebel (4x)
Just a shell, just a shell, just a shell until u decide to rebel
whether you're white or black your soul does not dwell
inside your shell until you decide to rebel
worldly worldy people people allow your innersides
to intervene and circulate
open your eyes and open your ears
wouldn't it be great.

I've feel cheated used, abused, misused..
used, feeling the blues misconstrued.
The bond the trust we once had
is not bad meaning good, but bad meaning bad.
What ever happened to manhood?
I try to be a man but U ACT LIKE I'M A HOOD.
Getting an abortion like I anin't no damn good,
like I can't raise a child the way a Nubian man should.
Cheated, abused, used, musused..

People of the world we live in
Don't let no one take our rights
Right to live in peace and righteousness
Science is supposed to work in our favor yaw'l
But when everything naturals destroyed
Put in the place of it is man made decoys
Locking us into a world that ain't no world
Our senses ain't in touch with the universe now
Instead of going so fast into a new age

Living.
I've got to do what I got to do.
I know that time passes by
but keep on livin' for the love of something better.
Prainsin'
I've got to feel the pleasure yeah
Cuz I sure know why I'm in this world right now.
I got to praise him all in the open.
I know that time passes through
but ain't one day I ain't gone be praisin'...

U

I
I keep on praisin' & standing.
