Karl Wolf - Africa Ft. Culture!!!!

Hey this is driving me NUTS. The song "Africa" by Karl Wolf ft. Culture.

All the lyrics sites for this song are giving me this:

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

[Culture speaks]

Can someone please tell me what "Culture" says in his rap right there? I'm not 100% sure if it's English but there's definitely a few english phrases in there.

Even a phonetic interpretation would be appreciated, or type it in whatever language he is speaking in??

UUUURRRGEENNTTT. thank you

what i hear is

"run the "chaka"
"anem wafi try"
"yori baka mi sa wol"
"fana gota ari qua" to the top
ride the "chaka" the rythem is sweet
"ari danca" lots gonna be "pol" in the "wah wiffing sta"
run the "chaka" ah we run the show
mister we run the "shapa yari tana" number one mister we run
we are the king and at the place "we sa" right "pon de" shot
push a one and "onda" here we "anga pon don de" spot"

it sounds like it's half in some african dialect
if you want to try and decipher it further, be my guest

and i know people get tired of hearing things like this, but it's probably on the booklet for the album

please repost the real lyrics if you get them figured out

hope i've been of some kind of help

Not sure exactly what you are searchiing for? Good Luck?

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had


It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

And as I'm walking through the subway
All I feel is everybody's piercing eyes (piercing eyes)
I'm following the footsteps all I can imagine is that I'm a guy
You never know maybe she's afraid
And everything around her is so damn fake
I feel like that we've met before
Hurry boy she's waiting

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I blessed the rains down in Africa
We're take some time to do the thing we never had

The sun is rising on east side and every former life is waking us
The feeling of sacloga makes you wanna dream away of fall in love
She drags you in not afraid
Everything is heels like bait
What wrong with you don't let her go
Hurry boy it's waiting

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I blessed the rains down in Africa
We're take some time to do the thing we never had

Doobara, doobara, doobra, doobara, doobara,
Doobara, doobara, doobaba, boorr, boobaba,
Dodo, dood, adooro, orooda, dooroo, dobara
Doobara doobara doobara baabaabaa

Hurry boy it's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I blessed the rains down in Africa
I blessed the rains down in Africa
I blessed the rains down in Africa
I blessed the rains down in Africa
We're take some time to do the thing we never had

[Culture speaks]

So sing with me
Now sing with me
This is Africa
This is Africa
lyrics from ALLYRICS.NET

Timboshenko, we're trying to understand what's being said in the rapped part of the song (0:54-1:15 in the video) aka. the part that says "[Culture speaks]"

the lyrics for cultures part is:

Run the track, Them want to try and hold we back, me say wolf and culture are going to the top
Ride the track, The rhythm is so sweet and the dancehallis hot, crowd a people never want me to stop
Run the track, We run the show, me say we run the shop, we are the don’s #1, me say we run that
We are the kings in the place, me say we ride on a shock, push your hands in the air we are going to burn down the spot!


For any1 who needs 2 know.

THANK YOU SO MUCH ! amazing!

no problem... and fyi it is english not an african dialogue

XD thanks

run di track, ah dem wan fi try and hold mi back, mi say wolf and culture gwan to di top
ride di track, the riddim is sweet and di dancehall hot, crowd of people never wan we fi stop
run di track, ah we run di show, mi say we run di shop, we ah di don numba one and mi say we run dat
we ah the king inna di place, mi say ride pon di shock, put your hand inna di air we ah gon burn down di spot

its jamaican

I too have searched unsuccessfully for the Culture lyrics, so thank you to both giraffesgoroar and unknown2 .

unknown2 is right. Jamaicans speak English, sometimes in a heavily accented dialect called "patois" (eg, "gwan" is "going" and "riddim" is "rhythm"). Giraffesgoroar sets out the patios and Unknown2 uses the actual English words we would use. Apologies if this sounds pedantic - not intended.

i should have asked in my last post: do giraffesgoroar or uknown2 or anyone else know (or can guess) what Culture is rapping toward the end of the song? It sounds different from his first set of lyrics.

Thanks in advance for any guesses.

nope its the same, but at the end, its hard to explain lol but it sounds more like the beat is louder but yeah he says the same thing

Great - thanks a lot!

the Jamacian accent probably also explains why track had an "Ah" sound on the end of it
