Black Thought
Kuku Kee Mee - Remix
[Intro: Black Thought]
Ayo
[Verse 1: Black Thought]
Ayo, we of our ancestors' wildest dreams
You will refer to Funmilayo as a proper queen
To go from modest means to the pantheonic kings
And space out of these modern technologies
We done hit the lottery but freedom is a artery that's never clean
People believe in some reality that's never seen
I knew good fortune would follow me from seventeen
I live without apology; I don't regret a thing
I know thе Santos Negros that becomes thе gray rose
Through the slums of Lagos, to the people I stay close
Talkin' drums, walkin' bass guitar strings
To see the Lord, you've got to face his offspring
Boss takes a bar, we don't fuck with zombies
I'm above and beyond these fake fugazis
I'm about an eon past snakes who try me
How's it feel to not be the greatest alive? Please remind me
[Chorus: Seun Kuti]
Kuku Kee Me
Kuku Kee Me
Kuku Kee Me
Kuku Kee Me
[Verse 2: Seun Kuti]
No struggle, because trouble
They're too weak, they don't speak
Things bad, so hard
No mission, no action
They know all the nights, no energize
Them fantasize and infantilize
I'm happy just to buy it, happy just to own
Happy with the crumbs from the master's throne
They happy just to buy it, they happy just to own
They happy with the lies from the master's throne
No ask me why, I'd rather die
[Chorus: Seun Kuti]
Kuku Kee Me
Kuku Kee Me
Kuku Kee Me
Kuku Kee Me
[Outro]
We choose the revolution of our people and liberation of our people as our life's goal forever
