Jidenna – 85 To Africa lyrics
[Verse 1]
Uh, yeah
I need a new conversation
I need a new obligation
Sick of niggas consumed by the matrix
And their white people rude allegations
I took my crew on vacation, Accra to Abuja, amazed them
Uh, now they gon' do dna shit
Most of y'all hopin' you are from Lagos
Used to hope we were cool like Jamaicans
Barbancourt 'cause I grew up with Haitians
Mama wanna seduce my relations
Back in [?] I was raised in
Who you thought brought juju out to Salem?
Churches told me that you are from Satan
Call boys in blue, they stealing my patience
Chasin' my crew like them new condemnations

[Chorus]
Yeah
Look at how I planned it, I had my hand in
Look at how I got these niggas acting up (Yeah)
Somethin' in the land where niggas run the planet (Yeah)
And everybody that be white are packin' up
Ridin' through Atlanta when I gotta vanish
I'll just take the 85 to Africa (Yeah)
I'll just take the 85 to Africa (Yeah)
I'll just take the 85 to Africa (Yeah)
Look at how I planned it, I had my hand in
Look at how I got these niggas acting up (Yeah)
Somethin' in the land where niggas run the planet (Yeah)
And everybody that be white are packin' up
Ridin' through Atlanta when I gotta vanish
I'll just take the 85 to Africa (Yeah)
I'll just take the 85 to Africa (Yeah)
Go hard, drop, baby, just back it up

[Verse 2]
Do it sound like a new conversation?
We still talkin' 'bout Jewish and Asians
Talkin' how to improve our relations
Nowaday nigga, who got the patience?
Let's go vacay by the pool in Rwanda, right?
Ay, it's a new propaganda
Como elevar tu en veranda, por Santeria, Candomblé, Umbanda

[Chorus]
Yeah
Look at how I planned it, I had my hand in
Look at how I got these niggas acting up
Somethin' in the land where niggas run the planet
And everybody that be white are packin' up
Ridin' through Atlanta when I gotta vanish
I'll just take the 85 to Africa (Yeah)
I'll just take the 85 to Africa (Yeah)
I'll just take the 85 to Africa (Yeah)
Uh, look at how I planned it, I had my hand in
Look at how I got these niggas acting up (Yeah)
Somethin' in the land where niggas run the planet (Yeah)
And everybody that be white are packin' up
Ridin' through Atlanta when I gotta vanish
I'll just take the 85 to Africa (Yeah)
I'll just take the 85 to Africa (Yeah)
Go hard, drop, baby, just back it up

[Outro]
Kiss my nyash, yeah, kiss my nyash, yeah, yeah
