Black Thought
Afrikan Children
[Intro: Chronixx]
Ooh

[Chorus: Chronixx]
African children from the old and new generation
You better get yourself together, this is the 2020 revelation
Remember now what's your purpose
And Jah Rastafari will desert us never
Get caught up into the circus
One more century full of work to do, so
Nothing is holding you back
Brother, come in go chill out with my Africa
I'll tell you nothing and nothing is holding you back
Yeah

[Verse: Black Thought]
Notes of a native son who's always been the most hated one
And learned too young to never turn away and run
And how whatever CD sold just never grows
He's waiting on a hero to come who never shows
A soaken rag with an hourglass broke in half
Black snowflakes from ash of a smoking flag
They dance in the wind like bodega bags
How much longer he has, man I'm afraid to ask
Listen, to reach 20 exceeds expectations
When kids catch bullets and Jake don't catch cases
With lives cut short on a back to back basis
It's the same expression attached to black faces
They told us to question anything, believe nothing
The D's hunting for the ones who achieve something
I heard another undergrad didn't come to class
Damn, black body fell below the underpass
[Chorus: Chronixx]
African children from the old and new generation
Yeah, but to get yourself together, there should the 2020 revelation
Remember now what's in purpose
And the rest are far and they'll desert us
Never get caught up into the circus
One more century full of wreck to do, so
Nothing is old and new, babe
Brother, come in go chill out with my Africa
I'll tell you nothing and nothing is holding you back
Yeah

[Outro: Chronixx]
Got them cowardly (Cowardly, cowardly)
I'd probably be 'round [?] (Cowardly, cowardly)
None of them cowardly (Cowardly, cowardly)
We, I'd probably be around [?] (Cowardly, cowardly)
Cowardly
We (Cowardly, cowardly)
I'd probably be 'round [?] (Cowardly, cowardly)
Cowardly (Cowardly, cowardly)
I'd be around [?] (Cowardly, cowardly)
Coward with the lumber (Cowardly, cowardly)
Coward with the lumber (Cowardly, cowardly)
Coward with the lumber (Cowardly, cowardly)
Coward with the lumber (Cowardly, cowardly)
Cowardly in the morning (Cowardly, cowardly)
Cowardly in the evening (Cowardly, cowardly)
Cowardly when the sun down (Cowardly, cowardly)
Ayy
Cowardly in the sun, right (Cowardly, cowardly)
Cowardly in the sun, right (Cowardly, cowardly)
They were cute, yeah (Cowardly, cowardly)
Cute, yeah (Cowardly, cowardly)
Coward with the lumber (Cowardly, cowardly)
You better let go from me (Cowardly, cowardly)
You better let me go (Cowardly, cowardly)
You better let me go (Cowardly, cowardly)
Coward with the lumber (Cowardly, cowardly)
