Why, why, why, why, why
Why, why, why, why, why
We redefined hip-hop
Afro, Afro, Afrobeats makes Afro-pop
Combined African and European
Can't deny the fact about my origin
I'm black with a fair skin
Negro dominant gene (dominant gene)
A-A-A-A-Afro hair, A-Afro hair
Afro hair, big lips, big nose, big mouth
Grew up far from where I am right now
Went miles to find peace, to find the other side
New gold world, never smoke, never drank
Babylon make one backslide
White folks on the bus, on the train
This language fucking up my brain
Trying to cope, kept my hope
Gave myself a long rope
Now bath without soap
Lost my tradition, lost my identity
Lost my perception, sold Africa for their attention
Stretch the hair, bleach the skin, have sex with him
They say sex before marriage, this ain't no sin
Ain't, ain't, ain't ain't ain't, ain't no sin
Fell for winter, fell for money, denied my journey
Psychiatrist telling me back home to remain hungry
2 Years passed, lived like a fool
Pushed away my beauty but still never dropped out of school
Searched their mentality, understood their history
Found out my date of birth, this explains my life's mystery
Saw the one that conceived me
Decepted the one that gave birth to me
Rejected by the one I once protected
Sent back to Africa on a plane, I was neglected
Knew that prejudice and injustice could begin in your own family
Decided to accept the inescapable death of the white me
Decided to accept the inescapable death of the white me
Decided to accept the inescapable death of the white me
Pushed it away, I've never been what I assumed to be
Half-caste, half black, half white
For fuck's sake, I'm Nigerian
For heaven's sake, from Warri
A simple Delta State civilian
Born and raised by a black mother and father
Love my pain, my misery
So just let me be
Why, why, why, why, why
Why, why, why, why, why
