[Intro: Q-Tip]
When they try to move in
You know what you must do, right?
[Verse 1: Q-Tip]
Coming out the room, whether the sun or the moon
And it safe to assume that we've been well groomed
In a village of platoons, drums signal out BOOM, the one test you get doomed
We're the "Nia nya"
Here's a demonstration show
Put the arrow to the bow, strategy to the full, victory, see it glow
And we take the winner lap around the river and we're back
Only God allow that, we're the "Nia nya"
Show off with the mask that is now worn
Devil man look around, see his world torn
What do you know about the secret we stole
And the story that's been told ? We're the "Nia nya"
Action, spiritual or physical, closer to the mystical
Ancestors visit you, whisper in your ear: you're the "Nia nya"
And you can hear clear, we're the "Nia nya"
We're moving out when the moon shine
And lay out in the sunshine, more time: well, is now slime?
Let's keep the rules, we're the jewels, we're the "Nia nya"
See, our Women, they're the big boss
And the Men, see, they keep course
Quickly we're moving, slick target grooving
[Chorus: Idris Elba]
Bweha mbuga
Bweha mbuga
We're the new breed and we really don’t care
Bweha mbuga
Bweha mbuga
We're the new breed, we're the new breed
Bweha mbuga
Bweha mbuga
Fist in the air, fist in the air
[Verse 2: Idris Elba]
Africa, Africa, oh Africa
We're 'bout to blow like a harmonica
We're 'bout to show you that everything you stole is living and breathing and coming right back at ya!
Ah, listen, everything circular, begin and will end with us
I can tell by the look in your face
When you look in our eyes, you're really just scared of us
The New breed, coming down that mountain
We ain’t afraid of no ting
Fuck all that slave ting, no way
Ayy, this ain’t Hollywood, this ain’t a movie, ain’t calling cut
We cutting the throat of the old system, so if you ain’t with us, you'd better run!
[Chorus: Idris Elba]
Bweha mbuga
Bweha mbuga
We're the new breed and we really don’t care
Bweha mbuga
Bweha mbuga
We're the new breed, we're the new breed
Bweha mbuga
Bweha mbuga
Fist in the air, fist in the air
[Verse 3: Little Simz]
My melanin glowing for the world to see
Your insecurities is not concerning me
I mean, God is a woman, that’s my firm belief
And they wanna burn it down to the third degree
Grab a hold of the locks and insert the key
How many leaders does it take to be free?
Don’t wanna be jack, tryna get out the box
You’ll be stuck in there if you don’t know how much your soul costs, whoa!
Many layers, what is underneath?
Look a little closer, I promise I’m more than you see
Please, don’t tell me I’m different: I know I’m more than unique
Self loving and weed that I need
Never slow up, I don’t know defeat
My heritage comes from Royalty
Crowns a throne and gold chains
More pain and nothing’s changed
‘Cause we’re still in chains
Which one of you politicians wanna be stepping and end up in a bad space?
Step in my ring, better know it’s a sad day
Fuck tryna dismiss us: I’ll kick you out the damn place
Make 'em go missing, won't even leave a damn trace
Gimme your best thing and I’ll tell you that’s waste
I've been investing in my shit from day
You're a lie if you say it ain't great, go!
[Chorus: Idris Elba]
Bweha mbuga
Bweha mbuga
We're the new breed and we really don’t care
Bweha mbuga
Bweha mbuga
We're the new breed, we're the new breed
Bweha mbuga
Bweha mbuga
Fist in the air, fist in the air
