Welcome Songtext
von Diafrix

I can hear the mother crying
Hear the sound of the sirens
Welcome to Africa
Welcome to Africa
They dying by the million
Still killing for a living
Welcome to Africa
Welcome to Africa

Welcome to the belly of the jungle

Where the rich all pull, them all hustle
From dusk to dawn, we piecing the puzzle
If you′re not careful, then things can get hostile
It's more safer in a place like Bristol

When the system is trying to eat you
In the poorest places, you find McDonald′s
Looking like take a shit and scramble
Don't go believing everything that you see on TV
With happiness, there's gon′ be a little bit of misery
It′s a felony when they say history's a mystery


History is only in the eye of the beholder
I told you I eat ′em up like a monster
I don't give a damn if you paid war with Obama
Or you shared a J in a cave with Osama
You could get out there, no drama
Welcome to the third world jungle
The lion never sleep ′cause it's all about survival
Ten years old, got them pointing a pistol

We don′t like to get physical
Africa baby, depend on your instinct
Close your eye once, you get robbed in an instant
Don't get it twisted, the rebels run things
Tryna speak up and that be your last drink

Drinker, drinker, drinker, better be a fast thinker
Flipper, flipper, flipper, your more quicker
It's a misery when you be chucking boulders
That′s why we pray, pray to the godfather
I′ma, I'ma, I′ma keep it real 'til I die
That′s where I come from, no bullshit, no lie
It's misery, poverty, jealousy, how crazy
It′s all about the money, fuck you, pay me


I can hear the mother crying
Hear the sound of the sirens
Welcome to Africa
Welcome to Africa
They dying by the million
Still killing for a living
Welcome to Africa
Welcome to Africa

It's a robbery, robbery, daytime robbery
They taking everything like the Western GOV
And my people, when we gon' learn
The more guns we buy, the more they gon′ earn
Robbery, robbery, it′s a daytime robbery
They taking everything like the Western GOV
And my people, when we gon' learn
The more they dig, yo, the more they gon′ earn

My mama white, I'm brown, I call Australia home
I find it quite profound, these Aussies stressed to the bone
Cafe talk is ′bout needing new phones and loans

Storming out 'cause their latte didn′t have enough foam
We educated, iPads, food, and loving they home
But segregated, mad at anyone who fresh off the boat

Living on the very surface, never looking below
But dig into the earth and you find indigenous bones
Now take it back to the source of your diamonds and gold
A ten shack, a five-year-old calls a family home
Firecrackers, nah, he fires bullets, he holds
I'm talking Africa, who's talking Infa Jones?
If you chat back, talking, what the fuck do we know?
My dad from Sierra Leone, Mandingo in my heart and my soul
First world dilemmas is all we know
For the price of life, Africa was sold

I can hear the mother crying
Hear the sound of the sirens
Welcome to Africa
Welcome to Africa
They dying by the million
Still killing for a living
Welcome to Africa
Welcome to Africa

Mother, she′s crying
Welcome to Africa
Welcome to Africa
Welcome to Africa
Welcome to Africa

People that I know now
No, no, they don′t know nothing
And I don't really know how
We can all ignore such things
What goes around comes around
Like a diamond in the ground
Paradise lost is all for now
So we look for love, though it′s rarely found
In the underground

This the land of the lion
No matter what the condition
We still smiling
Africa, baby
It's the Afrix, baby
Better know this
True survivors
