T.I.A.

I hope you got your passports, and vaccine shots
 I take rappers on a field trip any day
 They never been opposite real clip anyway
 I know where all the looters and the shooters stay
 Welcome to the city we call Doomsday
 When niggas is just fried chicken like Tuesday
 Oh you from the hood huh, who say?
 My Nigerian niggas would call you Pussy
 My Somali niggas are quick to grab the uzi
 Around here we only bumpin' Fela Kuti
 2Pac, or Bob Marley, Lucky Dube
 So we don't really give a fuck about your groupies
 This is Africa, hooray!
 T.I.A, hooray!
 T.I.A, hooray!
 T.I.A, hooray!
 It means, "This is Africa", hooray!
 You don't know how hard it is here
 The streets is tricky in these parts here
 You don't know how hard this is here
 The streets need this shit here
 You don't know how hard it is here
 The streets is tricky in these parts here
 You don't know how hard this is here
 The streets need this shit here
 I walk rappers through the Killa hoods any day
 They never been opposite real goons anyway
 I know all the tricky sticky icky alley ways
 Welcome to the continent of holidays (Africa)
 Where holidays quickly turn to hell days
 Stars fall quicker than box of shell case
 No Bill Gates, No PCs
 Why you cats debating, acting and faking these days
 I deliver what they need like milk crates
 I learned from the deadly streets, no regrets
 And I wasn't ever looking for street cred
 But these streets bred me to be street safe
 It's no secret we know how to squeeze lead
 But the Pre-set is not to have to squeeze it
 Used to be at peace but now we using T-shirts
 And it reads R.I.P. 'cause the peace dead
 When I walk through the slums like Nomane
 Little children say K'naan Bomaye
 The rap game just got itself a new day
 This is Africa, hooray!
 T.I.A, hooray!
 T.I.A, hooray!
 T.I.A, hooray!
 It means, "This is Africa", hooray!
