Africa's Inside Me - Arrested Development

Africa’s inside me, taking back her child

She’s giving me my pride and setting me free

Africa’s inside me, taking back her child

She’s giving me my pride and setting me free

Universal, as I stroll down my street

Africas’s a bolling over flowing inside of me

I used to sport a curl made by Jerry, a Jerry curl

But as time passed it didn’t last, after my curl I never combed my doo

I used to sport a cap but the naps kept shining through, shining

My sister got a brand new perm

My boys say she looks pretty fine body real firm

Folds at her job loves her new touch up

I can tell her white boss gets a kick when she’s all done up

My sister loves her blackness

But the U.S. said that the perm is the attractiveness

But Africa keeps coming stronger, we found out

It ain’t a perm, it’s a temporary

Africa’s inside me taking back her child

She’s giving me my pride and setting me free

Africa’s inside me taking back her child

She’s giving me my pride and setting me free
