Mansa Musa (I’ll Tumble 4 Ya) lyrics

To Cairo he'd go
Showin' his kingly splendor
Power showers
Of golden legal tender

Had 80 camels
Gifts for the poor
A massive caravan
And so much more

I'm Mansa Musa
I'm Mansa Musa
I'm Mansa Musa
Here's gold sir for you
I'm Mansa Musa
I'm Mansa Musa
I am the king from Timbuktu

King of Mali
Supporter of education
Planning, building
Faith was his motivation
He built libraries
And spacious mosques
And on his pilgrimage
His gold he tossed
I'm Mansa Musa
I'm Mansa Musa
I'm Mansa Musa
Here's gold sir for you
I'm Mansa Musa
I'm Mansa Musa
I am the king from Timbuktu

His entourage was dazzling
A vision to behold
With 60 thousand people
And tons of precious gold
His generosity
Would cause the price of gold to crash
Made universities
Throughout the land
The Mali empire he did command

I'm Mansa Musa
I'm Mansa Musa
I'm Mansa Musa
Here's gold sir for you
I'm Mansa Musa
I'm Mansa Musa
I am the king from Timbuktu
Fourteenth century
Trip to the holy cities
Mecca, Medina
His legendary entry
Had 80 camels
Gifts for the poor
A massive caravan
And so much more

I'm Mansa Musa
I'm Mansa Musa
I'm Mansa Musa
Here's gold sir for you
I'm Mansa Musa
I'm Mansa Musa
I am the king from Timbuktu
