The past has gone
The future is yet to come
Hear this
Going back to my root
Born in Africa
'cause I'm born in Africa
Born in Africa
True born Africa I true
Cause I'm a born African
Jah know
Say mi come from Nigeria land of oil
Land of diamond gold and sugarcane
We plant cossawa & sweet potatoes
We have a lot of thing but no discipline discipline
That's what we got from colonialism
All this was Babylon business
White man never give up Africa
White man never give up the business business
Why this division in Africa
Why this division in the system
It doesn't have no moral and no self concious
Some of them went to America
Some of them went to the Carribien
Some of them died over the Atlantic
South Africa Egypt
Lybia Algeria
Zimbabwe Mozambique
Angola Rwanda
Nigeria Morocco
Tunisia and Ghana
