Conscious Baddie

Hail from the East side of Africa
Teaching Swahili with laughter
After
I just wanna wrap her in arms all night
Talking bout the plight of our continent
And how she don't see herself in the West for long
My God

I think I found me a conscious baddie
Deep in her mind she's thoughtful
Curious enough to question rules
I think I found me a conscious baddie
Deep in her mind she's thoughtful
Strong enough too say sorry too

Protective of her roots cause she know her beginning
Teaching me about where I'm from you know
She said we had our God and our way of life
Universal laws and they took a knife
Stripped us of our identity
Collaborated with the haters in our nation
Institutionalized in institution of lies
So we chase validation
Degrees to baptism

I think I found me a conscious baddie
Deep in her mind she's thoughtful
Curious enough to question rules
I think I found me a conscious baddie
Deep in her mind she's thoughtful
Strong enough too say sorry too

She done been through hell and back
Lives with an open heart
But it's quick to close
She called it boundaries
Foundry
Firmly
She standing on her principles
Life is like elliptical
Arm Leg Leg Arm Head
We true Gods
She spitting' facts forreal tho
On Me
Listen up Mr Melanated
You're free
From the shackles of your past
And the truth you'll see

I think I found me a conscious baddie
Deep in her mind she's thoughtful
Curious enough to question rules
I think I found me a conscious baddie
Deep in her mind she's thoughtful
Strong enough too say sorry too

Protective of her roots cause she know her beginning
Teaching me about where I'm from you know
She said we had our God and our way of life
Universal laws and they took a knife
Stripped us of our identity
Collaborated with the haters in our nation
Institutionalized in institution of lies
So we chase validation
Degrees to baptism
