Came Down

Instrumental Intro

Chorus

Mahuki fi ókefumi,

Neyi tihayasa li ámahavi.

Ode tina mahuki fi ókefumi.

Ámahavi sivema fi feyi,

Sishavija ófumo.

Oko mahuki fi ókefumi,

Tishavija mopubi, tidiohadifa.

Ikwache nihaya kumata,

Nironfua pu kumata.

Ikwache tihaya kumata,

Tihaya ópaboo no ázajumi.

Tinusa ábáyi zajumi,

Boopi no mahuki tigekantuni fami!

Verse 1

Back in 1981 the king died.

Granddaddy elevated to the crown.

Mama had it,

Had to take it from my older brother.

Now I got it nown.

Ancestors with it,

They know Ima hold it down.

They gave me the play,

Ima run the play.

Get the first down.

Try to take it all the way,

For a touchdown.

You don't wanna see me touch something.

If you fuck with my kin,

Ima buss something.

I walk with a strut,

'Cause I run something.

Niggas yapping lip,

They don't run nothing.

I don't say nothing,

'Cause I'm quiet.

Best way to move in silence.

Family ties,

Lead me to violence.

Against the seed of his Highness,

Reverend Elijah John Tyler.

The grand master plan,

Unify the motherland,

And put his face on a dollar.

But first,

I gotta go and retake my throne like Sundiata.

Chorus

Chickens in a coop,

Opinions don't matter to a falcon.

'Cause they're chickens in a coop.

A falcon in the sky,

Looking at the world.

But chickens in a coop,

Stuck looking at some poop.

Whenever I wanna eat,

I go in for the swoop.

Whenever they wanna eat,

They need a helping hand.

They depend on another man,

Them chicken heads control my land!

Verse 2

Heavy is the crown.

The common man,

He scared.

The chicken head,

He fled.

The wise man choose silver,

When the other option lead.

And back in the day,

It was blue over grey.

Now Ima old head,

So it's green, gold, and red.

And when that banner raise,

Best believe I won't be fazed.

'Cause this a master plan,

That's been in motion before my days.

In 1981,

The king,

Yeah, he died.

Now I got the power.

His mama a lily flower.

Nobility, they know what that means,

Since lily flowers reserved for kings.

His daughter gave me my rank.

She shaped the way I thank.

And I had this rank since two,

So I been knew what to do.

I done came down!

I said,

I done came down!
