Naija Hip Hop 101, Pt. 2

Lyrics

Im back again you know what I mean Naija hiphop 101, second lecture I won't take your time too much I just wanna let you know a few things You know If the culture was not Nigerian And its not Nigeria You know so The American culture, british culture Is different from the Nigerian culture First things first wetin be culture What is culture Culture is the customs and beilefs Art, way of life and social organization Of a particular country Or group Note the key words here class Customs and beilefs Art, way of life and social organization Of a particular country Or group And the country we are talking about right now Is Nigeria cus that's whеre we are from So sincе we are Nigerians That means our hip-hop culture Must contains elements of Nigerian customs Beliefs, art and way of life To cultivate our own hip-hop culture Our Nigerian hip-hop has to contain Nigerian dance steps, the Nigerian language Instruments You talk about the environment and The Nigerian way of dressing Definitely we are influenced by some things In the western culture But that dosent mean We discard all of our own That's the only way we can tell the world straight up Where we are from Because if South Africans didn't do it They wouldn't have *** If the Ghanaians didn't do it They wouldn't have hip-life My brother you no fit sell snow to eskimos You no fit sell sand to desert dwellers Meaning you can't do rap the American way Better than the American And if you try You'll just be lost oh Boy you go just enter You go just be one of those people Wey dey try rap like oyibo Wey dey sound like oyibo And definitely you'll not be good enough for America because Every baby right now in America is born with a mic A full album and a mix tape If we do it right If we put a face to Nigerian hip-hop We can sell the Nigerian hip-hop And that's the truth According to the gospel of Nigerias own Rugged man, Ruggedy baba For now class dismissed
