I hope you got your passports, and vaccine shots. 

[Verse 1] 
I take rappers on a field trip any day 
They never been opposite real clip anyway 
I know where all the looters and the shooters stay  [bad word] to the city we call Doomsday. 

When niggaz is just fried chicken like Tuesday 
Oh you from the hood huh, who say? 
My Nigerian niggaz would call you [bad word] 
My Somali niggaz are quick to grab the uzi 

Around here we only bumping Fela Kuti 
Tupac, or Bob Marley, Lucky Dube. 
So we don't really give a [bad word] about your groupies 
This Is Africa, Hooray. 

T.I.A. 
(Hooray) 
T.I.A. 
(Hooray) 
T.I.A. 
(Hooray) 
It means, This Is Africa 
(Hooray) 

[Hook] 
You don't know how hard it is here 
The streets is tricky in these parts here 
You don't know how hard this is here 
The streets need this [bad word] here 

You don't know how hard it is here 
The streets is tricky in these parts here 
You don't know how hard this is here 
The streets need this [bad word] here 

[Verse 2] 
I walk rappers through the Killa woods any day 
They never been opposite real goons anyway 
I know all the tricky sticky icky alley ways  [bad word] to the continent of Holidays (Africa) 

Where Holidays quickly turn to [bad word] days 
Stars fall quicker than box of shell case 
No Bill Gates, No PCs 
Why you cats debating, acting and faking these days 

I deliver what they need like milk crates 
I learned from the deadly streets no regrets 
And I wasn't ever looking for street cred 
But these streets bred me to be street safe 

It's no secret we know how to squeeze lead 
But the Pre-set is not to have to squeeze it 
Used to be at peace but now we using T-Shirts 
And it reads RIP cause the peace dead 

When I walk through the slums like (Nomane) 
Little children say K'naan (Bumaye) 
The rap game just got itself a new day 
This is Africa, Hooray. 

T.I.A. 
(Hooray) 
T.I.A. 
(Hooray) 
T.I.A. 
(Hooray) 
It means, This Is Africa 

[Hook] 
You don't know how hard it is here 
The streets is tricky in these parts here 
You don't know how hard this is here 
The streets need this [bad word] here 

You don't know how hard it is here 
The streets is tricky in these parts here 
You don't know how hard this is here 
The streets need this [bad word] here
