Mansa Musa ( Global Ummah )
(Yeah!) From Freetown to Timbuktu!
Listen to the rhythm of the ancestors...
Bismillah!
We connection deep, you know?
Global Ummah, black skin,
divine light.
DJ, roll the riddim!
Oya let's go!
From the ancient days to the modern town We carry the gold,
we no dey look down Like Mansa Musa,
we spread the crown The Ummah is rising,
just look around! Oya shake body,
make you feel the pride The blood of Bilal is deep inside
African roots with the holy vibe United we stand,
yeah, the global tribe!
Walking through London, walking through New York But I got the spirit
of Timbuktu when I talk Centuries of knowledge flowing right through my
veins History too deep,
you can't lock it with chains West African kings,
yeah, we built up the faith From Mali to Senegal,
we open the gate Before the ships came,
we were praying in lines A sub-Saharan kingdom under heavenly signs
We are the descendants of the ones who stood strong Chanting Ahadun
Ahad when the oppression was long Now we step in the club,
consciousness in the bounce
Every single blessing wey we carry we count!
From the ancient days to the modern town We carry the gold,
we no dey look down Like Mansa Musa,
we spread the crown The Ummah is rising,
just look around! Oya shake body,
make you feel the pride The blood of Bilal is deep inside
African roots with the holy vibe United we stand,
yeah, the global tribe!

Dis history deep, dat na true We ancestors dem build up Timbuktu!
Dem want make we forget say we pass the test Say the
first call to prayer came straight from the chest Of an African
man, Bilal, wey stand up straight No matter the pressure,
he open the gate!
So make you hold your head high,
no let dem make you shy We Barakah heavy,
it dey reach to the sky Like Mansa Musa,
we get wealth na we mind We share with the poor,
yeah, we leave none behind Zakat na the culture,
