	 Africa ringtone on your mobile phone

When I left to go Africa people said.... 

Don't come back with no with craft on your head 

I just left the comment blank and kept my cool 

Because they only said what they was taught in school 

Brainwashed education 

Of our nation 

Publicized in its prime 

To be behind the time 

Adequate excuse 

And all verbal abuse 

Our history is a mystery 

So what's the use??? 

Sala mali cume,mali cume salaam 

Sala mali cume,mali cume salaam 

Sala mali cume,mali cume salaam 

Now I took me a trip to Africa 

A seven hour flight from America 

I got off the plane and what did I see 

But some brothers and sisters who look like me 

Warm greetings,hello,hi's 

Alot of mosquitos and a whole lot of flys 

Young ones try to persuade you to buy 

To feed their families so no one dies 

Of hunger,shelter,clothes and starvation 

In the ghetto it's the same situation 

Over big water so far I roam 

To find my way back home 

To find my way back home 

To find my way back home 

Now I woke up at two in the afternoon 

In the middle of December which felt like June 

I got on the bus,then all of us,caught a boat 

As we listened to the jams we wrote 

As the boat stayed afloat and we was close to shore 

I seem an Island one I felt I seem before 

I was gonna ask the guide,but I forgot his name 

So I said,"It ain't nuthin',all Islands are the same!" 

Shame,who's the blame for that inside shame 

Then I found out Goree Island was the name 

Aim was to proceed with the mystery 

Of the hidden,forbidden history 

Goree Island was the last place the slaves was brought 

Before taken to America,sold and bought 

And I could feel it in the air when my feet touched land 

To be the first rap group to rock Africans 

Our distant brothers,great,great grandmothers 

To one another,it's you I salute 

Because a man without history is like a tree without Roots 

So I say now.... 

Now I took me a trip to Africa 

A seven hour flight from America 

I got off the plane and what did I see 

But some brothers and sisters who look like me 

Warm greetings,hello,hi's 

Alot of mosquitos and a whole lot of flys 

Young ones try to persuade you to buy 

To feed their families so no one dies 

Of hunger,shelter,clothes and starvation 

In the ghetto it's the same situation 

Over big water so far I roam 

To find my way back home 

To find my way back home 

To find my way back home 

Salaam alaikum, alaikum salaam......
