Dem tell wi say AIDS come from Africa
Dem tell wi say slaves come from Africa
Dem tell wi fi stay far from Africa
'Cause dem say a pure war dung a Africa
Mother of civilization
One less than fifty-five nation
Look pon di globe is like the heart of the world
All part of the world, dem a feel the vibration
Di Rasta man dem a say repatriation
Marcus Garvey did preach the migration
But dem a tell wi a nuh visa yuh need fi go deh
Yuh need immunization...
Dem say Ebola, dung a Africa
Den wha happen to whole heap a gold wha dung a Africa
How dem nuh tell wi bout di night life ina Africa
Like she a just jungle and wildlife, denh a Africa
Let's ask di people in the heart of the Congo
If a really Tarzan a di King of the Jungle
We know seh every elephant a nuh Jumbo
And a nuh everybody tall like Mutumbo
Show wi all di king dem and di queen dem
And not only the starving refugees dem
My African ancestors lived as freemen
So hear wha me a pree den...
How dem say slaves come from Africa
Dem tell wi say AIDS come from Africa
Dem tell wi fi stay far from Africa
Because dem say a pure war dung a Africa
Mama, mama, mama Africa

And mi say Chad and Egypt, Cameroon, Nigeria
Then hear mi now Senegal, Ivory Coast, Liberia
The Central African Republic, Uganda in the interior

Hey Madagascar, say Batswana, Angola
And mi say Namibia, hey Gabon
