I'm proud of my African roots but I dance for global unity.
lyrics
INTRO
Get up, tout donner, get up show them
Get up, here we go, get up, tout le monde
Killa dancefloor shaking ‘na body
VERSE I
She nana, she missing something
Focused on the things that she don’t really need
She wanna, she wanna prepare
Working for the plane ticket back to there
She nana, she missing the sea
Coconut trees and heat, ay
She wanna, she wanna go home
Traveling back on her own, eh oh
She heard it in Canada, see
The African land is calling
She thought how her family said
It don’t matter where you are ‘cause
Wherever you’re traveling to
Africa will never leave you
So be its ambassador and reunite the people you meet
CHORUS x2
I’m talking ‘bout East Coast, West Coast
It doesn’t matter (eh oh)
Show the love you live for
East Coast, West Coast
Coming together (eh oh)
To be united on the floor
And I don’t care what the haters say
‘Cause I do what I want ‘cause I can okay
Said I don’t care what they got to say
‘Cause I do what I want ‘cause I can, bloh
VERSE II
She winin’, no shoes on her feet
Melting into the beat
She nana, she closes her eyes
Memories intensify, ah eh
She heard it in Canada, see
The African land is calling
She thought how her family said
It don’t matter where you are ‘cause
Wherever you’re traveling to
Africa will never leave you
So be its ambassador and reunite the people you meet
CHORUS
(Floor… East Coast
Floor… West Coast) x2
VERSE III
She nana, she’s living her dream
Now she’s ready to leave
For the summer
She feels at ease
Replenishing her batteries, eh oh
Of course it is temporary
But going was necessary
And now with this new perspective
She knows how to make her home abroad
CHORUS x2
Tout le monde, here we go now
She winin’, she she she winin’ x4
I’mma go there, I’mma go there
I’mma x2
Na na na na, eh, eh
