Tisu Anhu Acho ft. Raven Duchess Lyrics

This is that Lucky Dube

Fela Kuti

Letta Mbulu

Blue train

Brenda Fassie

Mamma Kidjo

Ali Farka Toure

Andy Brown

Chiwoniso

Mamma Busi Ncube

Miriam Makeba

With Mandela with the screw face

The lady with a baby in a wrap on a back

Hustling on a corner cuz Africa is where it's at

With the strength of a nation and village she daily raising

Cuz to her the word impossible

Abomination

Youngsters playing in the dust and they cuss

At the passing cars with tinted windows

And hustlers

Yes

Occupying corners resembling streets signs

If you and your peeps gotta speak best be street wise

It's the sound of revolution outside of your television

The birth pains of the enlightened against the system

Ancestors speaking in code and when you listen

In sync with the beat of your heart echoes the rhythm like

Tisu anhu acho

Tisu anhu a a a a a a

Tisu anhu acho

Tisu anhu a a a a a a

Tisu anhu acho

Tisu anhu a a a a a a

Tisu anhu acho

Tisu anhu a a a a a a

This is the mbira

The kora

The kalimba and the bongo

The warrior dance of the Xhosa

The way of Bantu Kongo

It's Mapfumo

It's Baba Maal

It's Stiga Sola

It's the roots of the African child

We big them all up

Manu Dibango

Ambuya Stella Chiweshe

It's the sound of the African struggle and a fair share

Of the seasons harvest

It's the bira for the farmer

And the rain dance

When the drought hits the hardest

It's the song that the children have sung for generations

It's the chant of the Ancients that pass the libations

We spill

The women celebrate the hunters kill

It's the poem for the totem

The knowing that we will

Survive

Its what's keeping Africa alive

Kwame Nkrhuma

Thomas Sankara and I

Can never dhibha Chaminuka

The spirit of Nehanda

It's for real not Wakanda

It's Shango and the the

The thunder

Tisu anhu acho

Tisu anhu a a a a a a

Tisu anhu acho

Tisu anhu a a a a a a

Tisu anhu acho

Tisu anhu a a a a a a

Tisu anhu acho

Tisu anhu a a a a a a

Picture that Black Jesus in a beret soldier fatigues

It could be a concrete jungle or blending among the trees

That urban guerrilla inside his habitat

That rat race up against some big jungle cats

Way before the borders way before the flags

Africa baby

Baby

This is where its at

It's that movement of people the enchanted entrances

That natural mystic

That spirit enhanced

You overstand

That Original man

Expanding the several seas as we advanced

Against any obstacle and circumstance

And they chant

Tisu anhu acho

Tisu anhu a a a a a a

Tisu anhu acho

Tisu anhu a a a a a a

Tisu anhu acho

Tisu anhu a a a a a a

Tisu anhu acho

Tisu anhu a a a a a a
