MAKONDE (Oficial Video)

Описание: [Intro]
Eh
Makonde steppa (hey!)
Fresh boy from the delta
Dust on my sneaker leather
Still clean like Sunday sweater

[Verse 1]
Mama say
"boy
Be clever"
I turn pressure into treasure
From that village red earth weather
To big city
Bigger measure
Side eye from my ancestor
Like
"don't lose your center"
So I keep that charm in my wallet
Name on my chest like a bullet

[Chorus]
I’m a Makonde steppa
Steppa
Light on my feet but heavy on the pepper (pepper!)
Came from the dust
Now I’m dressed in a letter
Whole name bold on the back of my sweater
Makonde steppa
Steppa
Drum in my chest
Heart beat like a dancer
Tell them I’m next
Every block
Every plaza
If you want smoke
Better come with an answer (eh-eh)

[Verse 2]
Talk nice when you greet my elder
Big laugh
Big plate
Big shelter
We pray
Then we chase that paper
Still share last bite with a stranger
Ops wanna test my temper
Eyes red hot like ember
But I move cool like a river stone
Sharp tongue
Straight spine
Backbone

[Chorus]
I’m a Makonde steppa
Steppa
Light on my feet but heavy on the pepper (pepper!)
Came from the dust
Now I’m dressed in a letter
Whole name bold on the back of my sweater
Makonde steppa
Steppa
Drum in my chest
Heart beat like a dancer
Tell them I’m next
Every block
Every plaza
If you want smoke
Better come with an answer (ah-ya)

[Bridge]
From the border to the borough (yeah)
Same soul
New sorrow
But we turn pain into pride
Little dance in every stride (stride)
If I fall
I rise again
Shake that sand up off my skin
Laugh small
Then I begin
Stepping hard till doors give in

[Chorus]
I’m a Makonde steppa
Steppa
Light on my feet but heavy on the pepper (pepper!)
Came from the dust
Now I’m dressed in a letter
Whole name bold on the back of my sweater
Makonde steppa
Steppa
Drum in my chest
Heart beat like a dancer
Tell them I’m next
Every block
Every plaza
If you want smoke
Better come with an answer (Makonde)
