    Exclamation 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

    Default wouldn't mind knowing that either

    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

    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.

    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.

    Default Culture lyrics (2nd set)

    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

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