Afro DZ ak - "Multiversity"

Most cats limit themselves to one single category
But when it comes to me
that don’t even tell half a story
I’ve been multitasking since day one
You could say I get the job and job and job done
And have fun- truly lovin this thing called life
Cuz there’s so much beauty, yo, the world is rife
With possibilites, so why live life restricted
With your mind behind bars like you was convicted?
Gnawledge is the key that unlocks the secrets
That expand your mind and let you get deep with
Life’s essence, treatin each day as a lesson
Not stressin petty things, but investin with questions
Education to grasp what you don’t already know
See, college is more than classes, it’s a place to grow
It’s a place that shaped who I am today
Where I go, what I feel, what I know, what I say
Developin a sense of perspective
Broadening my view of just “I”
to encompass the collective “We”
promotin the general welfare
Cuz we’ll fare better the more everyone else cares
That’s why I try to inspire you vocally
So you go and make a difference
whether locally or globally
I’m hopin we can move beyond segregation
Unite to fight hate and find Elevation

Cuz I’m Multiracial, Multitalented,
Multilingual, finding the perfect balances
Went to University, promote Diversity
Bout to kick this verse and see, it’s Multiversity

Some’ll never see me play keys,
or hear my trumpet when I blow it
Or know that I’m an MC or a spoken word poet
Some’ll never know about any of the above
But that don’t stop me from musically
tryin to spread love
I’m All of the Above from now to Hear After
The Best Part, I Always Will Be from first chapter
To last, I wanna follow the path of J-Live
Makin music and teachin the youth at the same time
It’s a Balancing Act, but one I’m ready to take on
I got something to say, I ain’t the type to make songs
That promote the same damn stereotypical themes
That got impressionable youth
chasing ridiculous dreams
Of sex, guns, drugs, and rings
Instead of follow the leader,
yo, they playin follow the bling
I wanna be famous- but not to get fast cars
Havin power to inspire
is my impetus for being a rap star

Chorus

Verse 3
Too many cats
make no effort to learn a foreign language
And act all condescending
when they hear Creole or Spanish
As if knowing English makes you a superior person
But what good is English if you just dissin and cursin
Instead of, expandin your mind
and respectin cultural difference
That’s what makes the world beautiful
if you just listened
But we so caught up in our personal bubbles
We become xenophobes,
equate different with trouble
But me, I’m proud to speak French,
proud to be Congolese
Maybe one day I’ll learn Arabic or Japanese
But I already speak the universal language
known as music
Got a trumpet in my hand, and I’m not afraid to use it
Don’t confuse it with one-dimensionality
My reality expands way beyond just one tonality
Je suis du monde- I’m reppin for the world
Car le sens de la vie c’est aux mélanges- the swirls

Chorus
Cuz I’m Multiracial, Multitalented,
Multilingual, finding the perfect balances
Went to University, promote Diversity
Bout to kick this verse and see, it’s Multiversity
I’m Multiracial, Multitalented,
Multilingual, finding the perfect balances
Went to University, promote Diversity
Freak it on the trumpet, cuz it’s Multiversity

Chorus
