Africa (feat. Bugle)
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-
Black redemption
Woah-oh-oh (hm-mm)
Yea-yea, yea-yea
Yea-yea, yea-yea, yea
Yea-yea, yea-yea
I'm so proud right now, yeah
Yeah, Mama Africa, mi miss yuh so much
They took us away, but they couldn't take the strength from us
Greatness in our blood
To all my distant brothers and sisters, a-nothing but love
No think less of yourself
Me wan' you know you are great
The strength is within you, so no lose your faith (no)
We teach the world fi elevate
They stole from us and call we slaves
But Jah-Jah know, Africa is where I rather be
Don't lose your way (no lose your way)
Look to the east
Jah-Jah know, Africa is where I rather be
Can't lose your faith (can't lose your faith)
That's the plan of the enemy
From the north to the south to the west
Hm, Africa a-the best
This not a racial song
This, this a-just one a-dem way I like mi blackness
Jahmiel, mi haffi keep it genuine (genuine)
Oh yeah, mi proud, I'm a melanin (I'm proud-)
We know the truth, we are the root
Because from Black comes everything
Some of the mysteries of the world, like the pyramids
Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Selassie (Selassie)
Every Black Man is a king, I mean philosophy
Knock we down, we bounce back, they can't get rid of we
Big up every African, it no matter where you live
Me, I hail upon mi distant relatives
So, mi give thanks to the Father fi the blessings
We give them maths, give them astronomy, and medicine
Yes, I'm a Black Man
I'm an African
Jahmiel, we are negro
Wherever we go
But Jah-Jah know, Africa is where I rather be (why-oh?)
Don't lose your way (no lose your way)
Look to the east
Jah-Jah know, Africa is where I rather be (why-yo?)
Can't lose your faith (can't lose your faith)
That's the plan of the enemies (why, yo, oh?)
Only love shall set us free
Divided we fall (yeah), united we stand, indeed
Oh yes, indeed
Love shall set us free, divided we fall
Oh Africa, stand in peace
But Jah-Jah know, Africa is where I rather be
Don't lose your way (no lose your way)
Look to the east
Jah-Jah know, Africa is where I rather be
Can't lose your faith (can't lose your faith)
That's the plan of the enemies (why, yo-oh?)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, why-oh?
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, why-oh?
Oh-oh, oh-oh, why-oh?
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, why-oh?
Black redemption
Woah-oh-oh (hm-mm)
Yea-yea, yea-yea
Yea-yea, yea-yea, yea
Yea-yea, yea-yea
