[Intro]
Uh, I've been directed to your systems, it’s Afrikan Boy
And they always ask me how I got my name
I'm about to explain
Yeah, shouts out to Kobe
Spell it with a 'k’
Let's go
[Verse 1]
This is a true story, told by yours truly
I was in Austin, Texas
South by Southwest twenty-fourteen
I was on the streets looking for something to eat
[?], that's what I thought
As I passed a food court
I saw this white boy hitting a drum machine threaded to a app
I started junking, then running, turned into runking
I thank God I had my camera on me that day
I got to freestyle
It was real live, real wild
He was impressed, asked me for my name
I told him, "Afrikan Boy, spell it with a 'k'"
He said, "Yo, the same Afrikan Boy from M.I.A.?"
I said, "Right, she hit me up on MySpace"
I realize how blessed I am to be in my space
How many brothers wish they could take my place
You can do it if you just have faith
Come on!
Growing up in Woolwich, [?]
[?] beef that was back in my teens
Everyone [?] that make the DJ [?]
But if your bars weren't hard, nobody listened
I got my [?] in all that real shit
I never had a shower, I used to rock in a container
One day I went to Lidl and told everyone about it
Then I went viral
Before there was a viral
Before there was a iPhone
Before I had [?]
I was on my shit
[Bridge]
