[Intro]
Check, check
8 Town
Pizzo the what? (What?)
Nu Afrika
(King, king)
Whaddup?
(Ki-king, ki-king, king)
8 Town
[Verse 1]
I check the mic check before I mic check (Whaddup?)
Every time I mic check, I ask for my cheque
I'm done with this bullshit like Jordan (Rah!)
All black, jungle fever, I'm Kona (Rah!)
I keep it raw, man, I pop up like Roman
I keep it slow, man, I move on like Nomads
Sihitaji full stop, walishani-koma
Education is the key na mamode waligoma
[Chorus]
?
8 Town
?
(Pizzo the what, what?)
This is Africa!
?
8 Town
?
This is new Africa!
?
New, new, new, new, new, new, new, new
?
Hol' up, I said this is new Africa!
?
New, new, new, new, new, new, new, new, new, new
?
[Verse 2]
Okay, Jay really is the ish
I be running this town
Stand up, ninja
When I speak, nigga, sit down
Tergat Gang, marathon, this is long distance
All my ladies foreign, exotic, long distance
For instance, all my exes are experts
Na-inhale, niki-exhale, na-expand
X-Men, shule mode alini-expel
But saa hii na expect ku-excel to an extent siwezi ku-explain
Wanangoja trailer, niko kwa Nissan, mi ni X-Trail
Boy wa ghetto, but kila kitu nadunga, maze, ni expe
Nimegeuza madem currency, nawa-exchange
Bars kibao, lakini saa hii sitaki ku-extend
Yeah
[Bridge]
?
Okay, whatever the kid say
When she speak, you listen
We want peace but we keep fighting
War will leave us in pieces
Jesus
?
Hol' up
Poverty, diseases
Kibera, we witness
But this is Africa Enterprise, we mean business
Nigga
[Chorus]
?
(Woo!)
?
New, new, new, new, new
This is Africa!
?
New, new, new, new, new, new, new, new, new
?
Hol' up, this is new Africa!
?
New, new, new, new, new
?
[Verse 3]
My mic be checking like "Uno, dos"
Young nigga, young nigga, who that though?
Flower girl, Muhando
President, wata-do?
Wannabes, what it do?
Manabii wako juu
Africa [?] wakiniangalia, wako za, "What are those?"
One, two, three (Hey!)
Una-doze less (Hey!)
Namba nane, baby, Kibera, we don't stress
I be a paparazzi, charges, we don't press
Niko na home bank, zile dough ziko kwa bank, we don't chase
Convertible, my ladies are topless (Rah!)
Untouchable, my niggas are bosses (Brah!)
I'm capable ku-employ ma-jobless
Untouchable, Simon, I carry the crosses
Deuces!
[Bridge]
?
Hol' up
Whatever the kid say
When she speak, you listen
We want peace but we keep fighting
War will leave us in pieces
Jesus
?
Hol' up
Poverty, diseases
Kibera, we witness
But this is Africa Enterprise, we mean business
Nigga
[Chorus]
?
8 Town
?
This is Africa!
?
New, new, new, new, new, new, new, new, new
?
Hol' up, this is new Africa!
?
New, new, new, new, new, new, new
?
I said this is new Africa!
[Outro]
Yeah
Big up to everybody across the world
Africa is not all about animals and safaris
We got engineers, we got tech people
It's time for you to invest in Africa right now before it's too late
The entire world depends on Africa today
We are not the future anymore, we are the present
Invest in Africa today!
