AFROPOLITAN

Lyrics By: Derrick N. Ashong & Jonathan M. Gramling

Music By: Sajato Jarrett & Derrick N. Ashong

Stand by, one-time mic check

Take a breath don't whine who's next?

It's been a long long time my friend

Since the last time the divine was brung like this, so…

Move ya body, jump jump move ya' body what?

It ain't a party 'til we rock ya' body jah!

So move ya' body, jump up move ya' body

Got 6 billion ways to descend on somebody like so…

Amma get yo' gun fo dey rob you

Put a little sumthin' in your drink & they got you

Runnin’ like you've been downgraded

This is dedicated to all my natives like so…

AFropolitan

Put your hands in the air & just say it

Life is too short to get played by fate kid

You gotta' take what you got & parlay it

'Til you call the shots & the world obeys it

Move ya' body, jump jump move ya' body what?

We got the skillz to make moves on sumbody jah!

So move ya' body, jump up move ya' body

Got 6 billion ways to defend sumbody like so…

Amma get yo' gun fo dey rob you

Put a little sumthin' in your drink & they got you

Imprisoned, insane, incarcerated

This is dedicated to all my natives like so…

AFropolitan

What if salvation was to dance to this beat?

Shed your inhibitions move ya' body move ya feet

There's no defeat, I tell you now only surrender

We come into the temple to cast out these pretenders like so

Move ya' body jump jump move ya' body, what?

We got a groove to drop smooth on somebody yuh! 

So move ya' body, jump up move ya' body

Got 6 billion ways to revive sumbody like so

Amma get yo' gun fo dey rob you

Put a little sumthin' in your soul to remind you

Where you been, where you at, and what's slated

This is dedicated to all my natives like so

AFropolitan

6 billion ways to live…choose one

Get up, stand up, c'mon & put ya' hands up

Let me see you pumpin' that fist like you can't stop

We ain't gon' let nobody savage our culture

So rise up my people let 'em see what you got so

Move ya' body, jump jump move ya' body what?

We got a mind to put a root on sumbody jah!

So move ya' body, jump up move ya' body

Got 6 billion ways to redeem somebody like so

Amma get yo' gun fo dey rob you

Nobody can tell you what to think, yo' we GOT you

It's time to build a new foundation

This is dedicated to all my natives, like so

AFropolitan

6 billion was to live…choose one
