Adun sumoo akwadu

Hey kids
Meet the foreigner
Bringin' that new style
To your corner
Before y'all roll with me I warn ya'
Ya' better bring a bag & plenty o' water
Let's take a trip on relationship
She be the illest little boat to go sailin' wit'
We'll take a trip on the Nile
And just smile for miles
Float over to the Volta with that African child
Ey yo, "who me?"
Yes I'm dat bredda'
Jet black skin, as smooth as Shea Butter
Known to twist & turn a phrase like no other
To some I'm better known as the "New World Wonder"
So tell your mom you ran away with the kid
And fore you go she better know
He did a serious bid
A boy convicted by the court of convention
Cuz he wouldn't trade his rhymes for a line
Turned his mind to a weapon
And now D live free 'pon the M.I.C
And no sucker MC can't funk wit' me
And if you ever need a lesson how To Be Free
Well then you do you
Let me be me
