Akala - Old Soul Lyrics
feat. Asheber[Verse 1: Akala]I don't wanna romanticize another time that's gone byBut I have to be honest and tell you thatI am an old soul, sold,Some Nina Simone is gonna put me in the zoneQuicker then some talk of PetroneOr Crystal or or Pistol it's oh so tediousI want to hear some tunesLike strange fruit with meaning inI want to hear the wolf howling and the waters muddyI want it to dance, want it to make me cry but also funnyFeeling that inner city blues, Marvin's the town crierSome soul-to-soul, some azwad with dubfireSome Gregory Isaacs, a little touch of Dennis BrownI love the soul but nothing moves me like that Reggae soundJamaican blood, sound system upbringingOur black american cousins are big influencesOn the songs we are singing.It's all Soul with Africa at it's baseSo Fela and Masakela, Makeba play from the same place[Hook: Asheber]I remember, I rememberDo you remember?I rememberI remember, I rememberCause I'm just an old soulI'm just an old soulI'm just an old soulDo you remember?[Verse 2: Akala]
