Lyrics
Keepin it downlow I
Gotta get mine uhuh
Nobody mind dat my
Tribe is the one that got
Robbed
Keepin it downlow I
Gotta get mine uhuh
Nobody mind dat my
Tribe is the one that got
Robbed
I - I - I - Aaahh
Saw the tears in the eyes
Of my dad when he cried
LIES
I've seen this history with my eyes
I was surprised didn't see that coming
Not even for a fraction of a mile
WHY?
Cause I remember
When I was a child of about seven
My dad was dating this shady lady
That stayed in while I was waiting
For my momma to pick me up
She told me your mother
Probably ain't coming no more
So stop waiting by the door
You sure?
I started to panic
Felt abandoned like lil' bambi
Felt a pressure in my eye
And I couldn't help but cry
When my dad came in the room
He said, son what are you doing?
Crying is for ladies and babies you fuckin' punk
Your mom is at the door so you better get your trunk
Keepin it downlow I
Gotta get mine uhuh
Nobody mind dat my
Tribe is the one that got
Robbed
Keepin it downlow I
Gotta get mine uhuh
Nobody mind dat my
Tribe is the one that got
Robbed
Yo, lemme track back to the fact that
Triggered this flashback
See we were in a museum
Reviewing the history of
The decolonization of the Cameroonian nation
Stationed in Yaoundé
Followed by guides keeping their eyes
Stick to the script that was supplied
By the world bank and the IMF
See these people
Getting stressed when too many questions
Were being asked
Laughin it off and redirecting
Us to the next piece of the collection
Pictures of independence day they were presented
To the surprise of our guides
All these things went awry
How can you lie like this?!
My father did reply
I witnessed all this shit with my own two eyes
I'm the one that survived our hidden genocide
Shhh
Keepin it downlow I
Gotta get mine uhuh
Nobody mind dat my
Tribe is the one that got
Robbed
Keepin it downlow I
Gotta get mine uhuh
Nobody mind dat my
Tribe is the one that got
Robbed
As I'm standing petrified
By my old man that was crying
People rushing to his side
Even all of them guides
Had their minds upside down
Shit done flipped the whole vibe
My mind went all over the place
And tears start to race
BUT
I couldn't cry cause my mind got fried
I froze
I blocked
My tearducts stuck
Didn't know how to behave
And my mind felt strange
Cause as a kid I learned to be ashamed of my pain
Brothers cumulate and they go insane
With the trauma
Inherited
One to the next
When will the time come that our minds rest?
Keepin it downlow I
Gotta get mine uhuh
Nobody mind dat my
Tribe is the one that got
Robbed
Keepin it downlow I
Gotta get mine uhuh
Nobody mind dat my
Tribe is the one that got
Robbed
