PAN AFRICAN THINK TANK VOL. 2 – EP
About Album
Pan African Think Tank Vol. 2 returns with that Tribal Trill sound, combining Southern American beats with African grooves and percussion, but this time, taking the stories of the great ancestors: Hatshepsut, Nzinga, Toussaint, Malcolm, and putting them into song form, something that resonates with today’s time—lyrics to remember the history, lyrics to propel inspiration to push us forward.

TOUSSAINT (REMIX) feat. C-BLAZA
Look this is my shit now
I’ll burn this whole thing down
Make me repay you how
When we built this whole damn town
I am so fuckin’ tired
Of these liars
Light the fire
Cuz you came through tryna run all these games
So when it all goes south you’ll have yourself blame
En, de, twa, kat
You need to fall back
I got the whole troop behind me and we ain’t come for the chit chat
En, de, twa, kat
You need to fall back
I got the whole troop behind me and we ain’t come for the chit chat
[C-BLAZA Rap]
My spirit is Black
My soul is Haitian
Ain’t holding me back
I’ma go take it
It’s in my blood
Never give up
I’ma go face it
Toussaint in my soul
History in the making
If blood gotta spill, blood will
We gon’ be free
Lead the revolution
Put that all on me
Live on my feet
Never on knees
Blood of my people
My family tree
Got soldiers on board
We ain’t giving this shit up
On-go from the door
Send them devils to the bishop
No stranger to war
No, never gon’ give up
It’s deep in my core
In my stomach like a sit-up
Black Revolution, don’t get in my way
Don’t want it tomorrow
I want it today
Fist in the air
Every day
Moment of Silence for lost souls
Let us pray
We’ve never been on the same team
Hit you with the scheme
For the regime
Getting rich off my people this gone have to end
This that New Africa, this the rebellion
We done with being serene
Intervene
Flip the scene

Look this is my shit now

NZINGA
Everyone was put on this earth for a special reason
Everyone was put on this earth for a special reason
Ever since the day that I was born
My, father kept it honest and did warn
That there, would come a time that I'd have to fight
Come a, time I'd have to choose wrong from right
There is, warrior blood running through my veins
With militant thoughts all up in my brain
Just, sound the drums I'll be there when you call
I stand for you, so we can stand for all
I see the, suffering
Strength that you're, mustering
I feel the, pain you feel
It's time for, us to heal
I hear the words, that chu cry
The thoughts that keep, you up at night
But know you won't, be by yourself
I've got your back, I'm here to help
Don't let me, don't let me die in vain
Please keep it going in my name
Because I know it will change
Make sure they know, that I stayed loyal and true
That I'll do it again for you
If I got another redo
Everyone was put on this earth for a special reason
And it's up to you how you want to live out your season
I know that I choose to stand for something that they won't like
But it's for the kingdom, not for them, historic rewrites
I just pray that God covers me
And please, smite down all my enemies
Cuz I, know they come with malice in their hearts
Wanting, to break me down and all my counterparts
But I, take what was handed to me
Gotta stay in encouraged and in perfect peace
And grant, the wisdom for things I cannot see
Ancestors lay your hands on me
I see the, suffering
Strength that you're, mustering
I feel the, pain you feel
It's time for, us to heal
I hear the words, that chu cry
The thoughts that keep, you up at night
But know you won't, be by yourself
I've got your back, I'm here to help
Don't let me, don't let me die in vain
Please keep it going in my name
Because I know it will change
Make sure they know, that I stayed loyal and true
That I'll do it again for you
If I got another redo
Mental strong

Courage unmatched
Mental strong (mental strong)

(So don't) Don't let me, don't let me die in vain

Please keep it going in my name
(You can't stop the fight, won't happen overnight)
Because I know it will change
(But it will be alright)
Make sure they know, that I stayed loyal and true
(I'll never sell you out, I'm with you no doubt)
That I'll do it again for you
If I got another redo
(I'll do it over and over again)
[Ad-Libs]
So don’t
I really hope that it was worth it man
