Fela-Sophy is an homage to the late, great Fela Anikulapo Kuti in a "Raprobeat" style. Raprobeat is a genre created by Juggla which is a mix of Rap and Afrobeat.
lyrics
4.Fela-Sophy
(Chorus Jugg and Preme Wyz)
Fela-Sophy this is Raprobeat prophecy
Everybody waan come rock with we
As we chantdown this ya hypocrisy- yeah responsibly
(Jugg Verse)
Black president, Kalakuta resident
Archeologist are sifting through the sediment
Anthropologist are looking for the evidence
But all their intelligence is simply irrelevant
Fela-Sophy can't be broken down to elements
Soul, Purpose, Ideas, Reverence
Take a look around you see the Zombie on the premises
Perambulating about with all the pessimists
Always wanna open your mouth and start to question this
Holding on to all of the doubt - you're steady vexing us
Raprobeat is the new sound and it's infecting us
People wanna gather around and start protecting us
Fifty deep in Winnebagos headed down to Lagos
Spinning like whirlwinds through cities like tornados
He who carries death in his pouch - Anikulapo
Prem Wyz, Wanlov, and me Juggla-Kuti-yo
(Chorus)
(Preme Wyz Verse)
From the Mali empire to the IMF debt
I came a long way like a walk from Tibet
Fightin beasts of no nation like a black president
A new Hannibal in Babylon riding elephants
My breath be the dancing, soul be the chanting
Spit Felasophy as the sun of the Manding(Mandinka)
Shining from above and below the seed planting
Reflect off the moon at night for overstanding
And spotlight Leviathan for deprogramming
Our people, Yoruba, you're Hausa or you're Igbo,
Fula, we equal
There's more i didn't mention 'cause the Abdullah see o
We navigate the planet with a ship full of griot's
Commandin the mic
Fulfilling Bob's prophecy when Africa unite...eeyyeh!
Commandin the mic
Fulfilling Bob's prophecy when Africa unite!
(Chorus)
(Wanlov the Kubolor Verse)
(Chorus)
