Dreamin’ about the Motherland, we dreamin’ about the Motherland We dreamin’ about the Motherland, the Motherland, the Motherland (x3) [VERSE 1] Rise above at the top to the sound of the bebop Stretching my mind to the life set of my drum sets Skets on the street in the morning, sexting to the sounds of yearning Turning tables on the clock, from the block, shoot a cop For the plots of the guns in gangstas’ pilots And if it’s ever done right, no politics can undermine suicide Pesticides on crops to flop from the drops of many corrupt minds What can I do to prevent such massacres? Calibers .42 on them noobs? Turn the knob, feel my thumb and search for a pulse Cause it’s dark comedy No skin attachment but racial underline statements From previous stories and misfortunes All we do is spin this tune On and on and on till June What are zombies but to rise above Rise above at the top to the sound of the bebop. [CHORUS] Dokandeme, dokandeme; am I in danger? Feeling like a stranger in this new land Dokandeme, dokandeme; so I stay wandering And I stay pondering the fate in my hands Honey come one, don’t use such slaving words (x2) [BRIDGE] Dreamin’ about the Motherland, we dreamin’ about the Motherland We dreamin’ about the Motherland, the Motherland, the Motherland (x4) [VERSE 2] Plant a seed, burn my dreams While I fumble upon those prickly leaves Turn my head and hear the screams “One day all free will be me” Synchronize; don’t patronize me I’d rather be you since flesh so dark covers the Sun I’d rather be you since flesh so dark covers the Sun. [CHORUS] [BRIDGE] Dreamin’ about the Motherland, we dreamin’ about the Motherland We dreamin’ about the Motherland, the Motherland, the Motherland [VERSE 3] Pupils dilated for attritional penial tips And I danced for monsters grab my hips Clothed bulbs from building men’s ship Darling, darling just lean on me Your cotton tissue feels good on me Your cotton tissue feels good on me(x4) [BREAKDOWN] Drifting, but not wishing for some saving We will find our own path and start walking `Til we congregate, sisters and brothers Islanders, mainlanders, `cause we’re all Motherlanders (x3) [CHORUS] [BRIDGE] (x2)

Strange Froots est un trio de chanteuses, auteures-compositrices, composé de Mags, SageS et Naïka Champaïgne. Ces trois jeunes femmes se sont rencontrées au Studio NoBad Sound à l'initiative d'un projet à l'attention des artistes féminine du programme, ayant pour but d'encourager plus de filles et de jeunes femmes à s'exprimer musicalement dans un milieu Hip Hop majoritairement peuplé d'homme. Strange Froots est le mariage d'influences musicales et d'origines différentes de la diaspora Noire (Haiti, Jamaïque, Senegal et Ghana). Le groupe transmet un message de respect de soi et d'espoir au delà des nombreuses difficultés que l'on peut rencontrer à travers la vie.
