[Verse 1: Sampa The Great & Mwanje]
Who took fabric, made that shit classic?
That shit ain't average, we did! (Never forget)
Who did music, made that shit language
African branded? We did! (Never forget)
Who took movement, spirit included
Made it a movement? We did! (Never forget)
Who's the origin, straight from the soul and then
Redistributed? Who did? (Never forget)
[Chorus: Mwanje]
Future, ancient answers that were never given

Ndiwe mfumu lelo osaibala, yeah

[Verse 3: Sampa The Great]
Don't ever forget that I said it
If ever they ever had shown you the way then I paved it
Say that I said it
They passed the baton, I pushed on, now we on
Now we made it, now, mama, we made it
The reason they higher (Higher)
Fuck what they told you, my calling is higher
There is no proof I require ('quire)
Begin and end, ain't no way I retire
Please do not come here again
Please do not call me your friend
Please do not rewrite my history, take out my victory, claiming my pen
I will not say it again, you will remember the name
Sampa The Great is the greatest, I will not debate it
I thought that I said it, it's never... forget!
[Chorus: Mwanje]
Future, ancient answers that were never given (Aya, eh!)
