Yeah listen up listen close
From the cracks of the concrete to the savannahs gold
We rise we fall like a dandelion seed in the air
But we come back we grow backroots deep in the earth
Sunrise sparkles on petals of gold delicate yet bold
From dust and rubble a flower unfolds
Dandelion dreams in the heart of the ghetto
Growth from strugglesee how the wind settles
We hustle on dusty roads feet bare on soil
Yet in every fracture a seedling uncoils
Mama whispered stories : Child be like the puffs
Scattered to the four winds but you come back tough
Oyas rhythms in my heartbeat drums in my chest
Lifes a battlefieldstill I stand up and rest
From Lagos to Joburg from kin to the diaspora
Dandelion spiritnever a casualty of taunts or barbs
We are like dandelion seeds in the wind yeah)
Floating through storms but we will ascend woo)
Some try to crush us beneath their heel
But watch us rise againthis is real
Lifes cyclicalevery ending is the start
In the crack of tomorrow well plant a new heart
See me in the marketplace chanting verses to the breeze
Trading struggle for hope lifes artno guarantees
I spit truth like pollen maybe youll catch my breeze
Plant it in your mindwatch it bloom with ease
Dandelion rootsdeep in ancestral veins
Survived famine seasons the mock the chains
Now Im spitting fire igniting the remains
Of broken spiritstell me yall feel these refrains
Corner boy turned prophet seeds in my palm
With each rhyme I sow healing the psalm
From dusty backstreets to starlit domes
Dandelion kingsreclaiming our thrones
Puff puff pass these visions
Every seeds a mission
From sidewalk fissures
To golden African plains
Well bloom again
We are like dandelion seeds in the wind wind)
Floating through storms but we will ascend we ascend)
Some try to crush us beneath their heel
But watch us rise againthis is real
Lifes cyclicalevery ending is the start
In the crack of tomorrow well plant a new heart
I stand on pavementconcrete jungle sermon
A million tiny seedsmomentum never lessens
Fight through oppression my purpose in question
NawIm dandelion strongwatch these leaves strengthen
You know we rise
Yeah like sun through haze breaking through lies
Lost in translation but truth never dies
Sow if you got itspread if you got wings
Dandelion prophecyscribe in my strings
Spread if we got wings
Whispers in the wind take my seed set it free
From city cracks to fields by the sea
Dandelion soulno chain can hold
We carry tomorrow in every fold
Roots in the struggle blossoms in the sun
Afro-rap heartbeatthis journeys just begun
