Naija Hiphop 101 Pt. 2 (Outro) Lyrics

[ti:21 Naija Hiphop 101 Pt. 2 (Outro)]

Im back again you know what I mean

Naija hiphop 101, second lecture

I wont 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 where we are from

So since 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 cant 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
