Waxtaan Wi, The Conversation
The conversation in closed door
Keep it a secret that’s how
We can get back to our nation
You belong to the people
You are a witness in this society
Let’s speak one voice
To prevent a bribery
If not you will be backing foes
By praising them they won’t give you a respect
For it is a kind of betrayal

Wax, The Speech
The speech suddenly starts crying
Cause the person making it
Is not the right one to do so
That’s why he is mistaken
This is not the right place to give a speech
No one has time to listen
This is not the right moment to make speech
That’s why people are not interested
Telling speech is like eating wheat
If you don’t chew, you can be chocked

Gem, Belief
You got a belief and i got mine
Respect your way and do not criticize mine
Just focus on your movement
We only can join on what we know
How about the tolerance and leniency
One must put people together
The true and educated person
Must not have ego or be sectarian
He must not show power but forgiveness

Jiko, Attitude
You contradict, discredit,
Yell at people guiding you
Having strong words
And everybody can tell your attitude
Whoever has a soft attitude
Will be overwhelming down the road

Waane, Phony
When you thank someone who does not provide goodies
Then you are a phony, manure
You also curse him
And you are simply like satan

Tuki, The Journey
Tell me what you learned from your journey
What has changed from your journey
Going everywhere to show up and start bragging
In order to enhance yourself

Ak Mbon, Evil
Life does not care about us
There is no longer sharing, trading
supporting as a human being
This world is like a fire everywhere
All what we do care is profit
some others fight for lands
And that is an evil
How big is your wealth
You will leave it behind
And to face your deeds into a grave
So life does not mind

Nguur # 2, Executive Power
In Africa political leaders send opponents to jail
After manipulating the lawmakers
They inculpate them without any reason
Otherwise preventing any power change
People remain suspicious
While their partisans keep silent
The political leaders worry about their fate
They oppress the people
And embezzle the public funds
Which is a crime
And opportunists praise them
Because only interest matters

Abdou Mboup & Waakaw Union City, New Jersey
Abdou Mboup was born in the small town of Kebemer, Senegal to a family of oral historians and musicians.

In fact in the early 1970s, he was the first musician to incorporate various traditional instruments into Senegalese popular music. ... more
