These two texts talk about African traditions, the first one is about a group called Dance Warriors of Africa that dances traditional African routines. These people also help other people but giving training in dancing and drumming. 

Meanwhile, in the second text, they talk about a traditional dance called Adimu where participants, Maasai men, have to jump as high as they can to prove that they have developed the necessary skills to be good warriors, in celebration where other people of the group watch the spectacular dance.

[Intro]

[Chorus: Adam Levine]
I ­­­_______________ wanna know, know, know, know
Who_______________ you home, home, home, home
And _______________ you so, so, so, so
The way I _______________ you, no
(repeat)

[Verse 1: Adam Levine]
_______________ (wasted)
And the more I _______________ the more I _______________about you
Oh no, no, I can't take it
Baby every place I go _______________ me of you

[Pre-Chorus: Adam Levine]
_______________of me? Of what we _______________to be?
Is it better now that I_______________ not around?
My friends _______________strange, they _______________up your name
_______________ you happy now?
_______________ you happy now?

[Chorus: Adam Levine]


[Verse 2: Adam Levine]
And every time I _______________ out, yeah
I _______________ it from this one, I _______________it from that one
That you _______________ someone new
Yeah, I _______________ but _______________it
Even in my head you_______________ still in my bed
Maybe I ______________ just a fool

[Pre-Chorus: Adam Levine]
Do you think of me?

[Chorus: Adam Levine]

[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
(Oh hey)
No more “please stop”
No more hashtag boo'd up screenshots
No more tryin' make me jealous on your birthday
You know just how I made you better on your birthday, oh
Do he do you like this, do he woo you like this?
Do he lay it down for you, touch your poona like this?
Matter fact, never mind, we'll let the past be
May be his right now, but your body's still me, woah

[Chorus: Adam Levine]
