Touch the Land
First time
Touching down in Lagos
Moving as a King
Searching for his Queen
A sea of different people
So dignified
Look like you
Look like me
Distant family
But some don't know who they are
Have no clue they're mentally scarred
A-F-R-A-K-A-N
That just means I'm an Afrakan
A-F-R-A-K-A-N
That just means I'm an Afrakan
First time
Touching land in Kenya
Felt at ease on the street
I could breathe comfortably
And it was so divine
Mombasa got me
Kitali got me
Nairobi got me
Nkuru got me
Malindi got me
Mlongo got me
A-F-R-A-K-A-N
That just means I'm an Afrakan
A-F-R-A-K-A-N
That just means I'm an Afrakan
A-F-R-A-K-A-N
That just means I'm an Afrakan
A-F-R-A-K-A-N
That just means I'm an Afrakan
First time
I touched the sands of Kemet
I saw you
I saw me
I saw all our family
It blew my mind
Touch the land
See your history
Truth is there
It's no mystery
Opened eye
To reality
Future lies
In your mentality
Touch the land
See your history
Truth is there
It's no mystery
Opened eye
To reality
Future lies
In your mentality
Touch the land
See your history
Truth is there
It's no mystery
Opened eye
To reality
Future lies
Touching down in Lagos
Moving as a King
Searching for his Queen
A sea of different people
So dignified
Look like you

A-F-R-A-K-A-N
That just means I'm an Afrakan
