Brothers and sisters ladies and gentlemen
Agberos international, outernational

Time to connect to the Bantu vibe
Show the world you're alive baby

Afropolitan, sho l'ọ'rọ' wọ' mi

Mr style police why you meddling in my biz
Trying to pigeon hole my vibe and get me on my knees
Your musical apartheid I ain't gonna bow to
Listen up Mr Sabiall my name na Bantu
Student, apprentice of life is what I am
Grenzgänger, wanderer who don't fear no man
I stand on the pillars of Paul Robeson and Jack
Johnson music's a continuum for the children of the sun
The cycle of creation is abundant everlasting
As long as you're open and your soul is willing
We're the Bad Brains, Fishbone,
Living Color Collation,
Brothers with an attitude on a world wide mission
Na so o o gari getti as e bi upside down inside o
Na so o o Afropunk, Afrowiz, Afropolitan e o

I pledge allegiance to the brotherhood of freedom
Gotta breath my air free connect it to the Great One
Just like Hafiz there's beauty in our midst why try
To complicate the facts and give it all a bad twist
The complexity of my multiple identity means you
Gotta consult with me if you wanna understand me
Chimurenga attitude that's the way I roll
Afropolitan baby ain't stretching no bowl
Take your shock therapy and your Friedman policy
Had enough of you experimenting with me
Take your dog fed feed them to your dogs
Feed them to your cats caus we don't play like that
Bwateeee...
Na so o o gari getti as e bi upside down inside o
Na so o o Afropunk, Afrowiz, Afropolitan e o
