about

Traditional African drums served as musical instruments, objects for ceremony and as a method of communication.

Some drums were part of everyday lives and others held special significance -- giving power to its owner or created to honor ancestors. In many instances, the traditional African drums are connected to spiritual endeavors and medicinal purposes.

lyrics

She's got the world on a string
She knows exactly what it'll bring
Gonna take away everything
Cause she knows how to make you sing

When you're stuck out on a string
Gotta cut out everything
That don't bring balance to everything.

They've got the world on a string
They knows exactly what it'll bring
They gonna take away everything
Cause they knows how to make you sing

But I've got the world on a string
I knows exactly what it'll bring
Gonna take away everything
Cause I know how to make you sing
