Africa

(album: Legend - 2022)

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Black redemption
Ooh, hmmm
Yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
Yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
Yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
I'm so proud right now, yeah

Yeah, mama Africa mi miss yuh so much
They took us away but dey couldn't take the strength from us
Greatness in our blood
To all my distant brothers and sisters ah nothing but love
No think less of yourself
Me wan yah know you are great
The strength is within you, so no lose your faith
We teach the world fi elevate
Dey stole from us and call we slaves

But Jah Jah know, Africa is where I rather be
Don't lose your way (don't lose your way)
Look to the East
Jah Jah know, Africa is where I rather be
Don't lose your faith (don't lose your faith)
That's the plan of the enemy

From the North, to the South, to the West... Africa ah the best
This not a racial song
This, this ah just one ah dem way I like me blackness
Jahmiel, me ah fi keep it genuine
Oh yeah me proud I'm a melanin
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
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 me 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'd rather be
Don't lose your way (don't lose your way)
Look to the East
Jah Jah know, Africa is where I'd rather be
Don't lose your faith (don't lose your faith)
That's the plan of the enemies
Only love shall set us free
Divided we fall, 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'd rather be
Don't lose your way (don't lose your way)
Look to the East
Jah Jah know, Africa is where I'd rather be
Don't lose your faith (don't lose your faith)
That's the plan of the enemies
