[Intro}
[Dominant 1 Verse]
Racing like F1 competitors/
Never fatigue competitive/
Top Tier on a regular
I spit cinemas/
Rappers sound ridiculous /
Looking all fikklish/
We the one you should mingle with
Let’s discuss the continent/
Build Prominence/
Multiply accomplishments/
My Name is Dominant
I spit real hot coz of the climate/
Handled all the pressure
Transformed into a Diamond
Real slick/
How I transmit/
You can hear the Ngoni in the Transients
You probably asking how I manage it/
Social media trolls peeping how I plan it, Kid
That’s why I speak in code/
Blueprints on a low/
Leave footprints whеn we trod the globe/
Africa thе greatest story never told/
But your son’s grown up we bout to take control
[Shukid Verse]
They say story favor the person that tell it, so we changin' the narrative, one verse at a time
Humility out the door, we takin' all of the credit, n I'm fightin' to the flip the script even if no person behind me
That's how we move, we, young, black n gifted, hella blessed
We ain't in the scriptures but we taught 'em how to paragraph
Put some respect on the motherland when we you mention us
Cause me my brotherman’s comin n nothin preventin' us
Force to reckon with, I wouldn't recommend
Stepping in my path, go 'head n get you a weapon then
Black excellence, sauce n all
Who else bounce back this good after they lost it all
From a victim to a victor, experience exfoliate
Wine fine with time, your women our sommeliers
And whether we are the future homie it's no debate,
If you ain't talkin' 'bout reparations then we ain't gon' liaise
[Hook 1 ]
Can’t Fool with Us we gat da Foresight/
African Dream team is what it’s more like/
Tek Zilla sound bomb hit the floor like/
African Excellence is what we provide
[Holstar Verse]
African excellence is my sediment
We spread it worldwide got wings, we were heaven sent
Shoutout to D1 for setting the precedence a King in my locale, What’s a president
Big up Teckzilla for this beautiful canvas, I paint Raw African poetry with a riddled tongue
Watch how I fiddle son, my violence is violins, opening my third eye, that’s how they buy our lens
Nefertiti on my side and it’s Sheba, inkling to Amina with the vocals of a diva
My African queens deserve that pedestal; different shades of melanin take care never bed a fool
Now watch my vertical as I flip my convertible flow like Nile river
See the planted seeds that were sown, the continent tree is now grown
Even in the diaspora, we're now known
[Boogey Verse]
'm the black brother of Cane and Abel
Who sacrificed the biggest and then somebody came and ate it
Like the thieving pastor
Who's really just a cheating bastard
I snatch his jesus piece and slap him
Do this for niggas who let the chain enslave em
I saw the sheep wilding, my aim was to tame and save em
So I came and gave em a purpose for living
They say they're looking for freedom then why they searching in prison...
...saying the guard said his merciful, I'm certain he didn't
Eyes open, look over what you overlooked
Are you worshipping a god, or white men who wrote a book
Naah bro, Don't give me that. I know the look
3rd eye 20/20 vision so I know to look
I rap for niggas who seek hope and hope to find it
You'll never get it from men of god in bespoke designers
Who say they see visions about you cos your scope is blinded
Your spirit's in a trap, you gave em the rope to bind it
[Hook 2 ]
Can’t Fool with Us we gat da Foresight/
African Dream team is what it’s more like/
Tek Zilla sound bomb hit the floor like/
African Excellence is what we provide
[Five Steez Verse]
From the continent straight to the Caribbean
All we care about is our people having freedom
Gaining knowledge of self, we some scholars with wealth
I ride with comrades so just holla for help
We can mask up, shout at the protest
Or rap on these tracks at the top of my breath
Fighting like militants in tactical vests
Followed by a generation after our deaths
That's if we not free in my lifetime
But I stay hopeful, we seeing the right signs
We rock the UK and we shake the states
Still spreading love, how can you hate this race?
The world leaders are crooked so we raise the stakes
We were too quiet, now we need a change of pace
For my music, I'm probably in their database
But the ancestors gonna keep me safe today
[Synik Verse]
They lied about our history
Said our complexion was a product of iniquity
What we created said to be shrouded in mystery
Decimated, invaded with rifles and bible trickery
Divided the continent, robbing us of our legacy
Then they economists conned us with their duplicity
Toppled the Sankaras with spies and paramilitaries
Put puppets in power to plunder what we were given but see
Africa's the future, the present, the past
I'm royalty like Menelik The Second just ask
About Mansa Musa, Queen Nzinga, Kwame Nkrumah
So I spit the ether in the spirit of Chaminuka
Black excellence manifest in my eminence
With Teck n em, restore pride through the remembrance
Of the brilliance that was encoded in this melanin
This ain't a posse cut, this is warriors assembling
[Hook 2 ]
Can’t Fool with Us we gat da Foresight/
African Dream team is what it’s more like/
Tek Zilla sound bomb hit the floor like/
African Excellence is what we provide
