9-9 say greetings in the name of the mighty king and I
It's a play by the king, love is down
I bring an eye on South Africa
It's time to have some little dreadlocks
The promised land
Going to the promised land
Yes, the promised land
Oh gosh, now
To the promised land
Imagine Ghana like California
With sunset fully white
Johannesburg would be Miami
Somalia like New York
With the most pretty lights
The toughest pretty can
Every new year the African times
Square like half
Imagine Lagos like Las Vegas
The ballast them a ball
Angola like Atlanta
A beer plane take off
Push cans in Amali
Chicago in a chat
Magic kingdom in a heat
It's a play by the king, love is down
No change for the people in the Delta in Sudan
The Congo like Colorado
Port Knox in Nagyaban
People livin' in Morocco
Like the state of Oregon
Algeria warmer than Arizona
Bring your sun lotion
Early morning class of yoga
On the beach in Senegal
Ethiopia the capital
For the congression
That's how I belong
Where the king come from
I can see us all in limos
Drag your arms and dims us
Riding on the kingdom
I picture Porsches, Basquiat portraits, pinky rings, realistic princesses, heiresses, bunch
of kings and queens.
Plus, I picture fortunes for kids out in Port-au-Prince.
Powerless, they not allowed to fit, but not about to slip.
Vision, promised land with fashion like Madison Ave, Manhattan, Saks Fifth Avenue, Rodeo.
Relaxin', poppin' labels, promised lands, no fables.
This where the truth's told, use them two hoes above your nose to see the proof, yo.
Imagine a contraption that could take us backward, the world was run by black men.
Back to the future, anything could happen.
If these are the last days, and hundred foot waves come crashing down, I guess I'm gonna
have some hash, some pounds, pass around some buzz and watch the flood.
Can't stop apocalypse, my synopsis is catastrophic, if satellites is causin' earthquakes, will
we survive it?
Honestly, man, it's the sign of the times and the times at hand.
There's a lot of work to be done, oh gosh, here's the promised land.
Yeah, talking bout the promised land.
Oh gosh, take me to the promised land.
The promised land.





The promised land, oh, the promised land
The promised land, oh, the promised land
There's plenty of land for you and I
Time, by and by
Lots of food to share for every one
The love of segregation in the promised land
Listen to the promised land
The promised land
Going to the promised land
There's a lot of work to be done, oh gosh
In the promised land
