Nigerian Sunrise by REMI Lyrics
[Intro]
House of Beige, bring the tribal thunder, come on
My arse abstract like a renaissance
I painted for all of my people, but
This one's for all my immigrants
Go and shake this shit off, shake off the ignorance
Get shit grinning, yeah, smiling up
All my people just smiling up
[Verse 1]
I'm on, I'm on my senior African man shit
Head of the family, dressing outlandish
Something like toes dripping like manuals
And pissed off 'cause these fuckers can't understand him
But if you think that will stop the hustle, you're damaged
'Cause our hunger with the famine like this is Sudan and
My tolerance for bullshit is six K's below sea level
So any antics get anchored
And when the chickens see the bella
Their feathers go ruffle, ruffle
Fight any kerfuffle, leave you knuckleheads buckled
With the lyrical ruckus that you see me spit, shaka
Straight at your jugular and to your throat bubbles
And I leave you in a puddle of your excrement
Can't fuck with this Nigerian excellence
I'll turn your world black, blacker than my heritage
Though my skin's beige, yeah, I'm the colour Mexican
So I work hard like them and play hard
Find him hitting on the South African fine-arse chick
Trying to apartheid shit, yeah, split a ride up
Bust one in this shit, like fast-twitch fibres
[Chorus]
Floating on the mothership to the motherland
Going home for the first time in who knows when
Rise higher than the pyramids
When I kick this, strictly for my immigrants
[Verse 2]
Oh, you're asking who's got ya?
Remi, the dreadlocked rasta witch doctor
Puff-puff-pass the molly that rock-rocks your body
After putting your career in a casket
Watch me Holocaust all of these cockroaches
With skills I caught from my ancestors
The whispers of talking drones tell me "Remi killed them all"
It's war, yeah, you were born a master
Say way to my white side, yeah, that's my light side
That's why I can say "Fuck you" holding a smile that's like
I can earn a bucket 'til we stay out of crime, right? Racists
Caught ya, I can see it in your red faces now
Watch the name of this half-caste reject
Transformed from slave to the pharaoh of Egypt
Getting pocket change for me and my peeps
Over House of Beige records, yeah, that H.O.B. shit
That's my crew, my dudes, my brothers from another mother
That's my bloodline, frontline, I can see others
Inspired or get supply your system
We rise like white fist and we ride the system
[Chorus]
Floating on the mothership to the motherland
Going home for the first time in who knows when
Rise higher than the pyramids
When I kick this, strictly for my immigrants
Floating on the mothership to the motherland
Going home for the first time in who knows when
Fly high as the pyramids
When I kick this, strictly for my immigrants
[Outro]
Floating
To the motherland
House of Beige, bring the tribal thunder, come on
My arse abstract like a renaissance
I painted for all of my people, but
This one's for all my immigrants
Go and shake this shit off, shake off the ignorance
Get shit grinning, yeah, smiling up
All my people just smiling up
