Git up you Black yankies

Dont be no Follow Fashion Monkey

(Rep.)



Follow follow follow fashion monkeys

Never drink good soup

So drink the water from your own stream

Before you loose your roots your roots, your roots

Shala-wala walab-shah-shab

Shab-sha-shala-wala-walab-shab sha.

Dont like the way you hold back from me

Just give me the vibes I need cause I'm ready

Dont like the way you hold back from me,

Just give me the vibes I need cause I'm ready



Be your self and no one else

its time you stop your adaptions

then you'll know the truth is in

you and learn to make your own decision



So git up you Black yankies

Dont be no follow fashion monkeys

(Rep.)



I've seen you play the games of

Lead and I'll follow, so many times before

Now I'd just like your attention

To borrow to get my message

through your doors, your doors, your doors

Shala-wala-wala-wala-shab-shab

Shab-sha shala-wala walab shab



There's too much barriers

Between you and I

Tho' we're both of the same kind

It's the same current that runs through our minds

So trap your egos' to mine.



Stop a while and keep your cool and

Listen to what I'm saying

Tho I know temptation strong

You'll reap the treasure of knowing

Then you'll start growing, growing, growing.



Dread up thats your culture

Live up thats life, dont let devil use you

For all them shining precious stones

They're gonna rub right off

So dont let them fool you

Please dont let them fool you, fool yo
