Born In Africa

(альбом: Born In Africa - 1996)

The past has gone
The future is yet to come
Hear this

Going back to my roots
Born in Africa
'Cause I'm born in Africa
Born in Africa
Going back to my roots
Born in Africa
'Cause I'm born in Africa
Born in Africa

True born Africa I true
Cause I'm true born African
Jah know
Say mi come from Nigeria land of oil
Land of diamond gold and sugarcane
We plant cossawa and sweet potations
We have a lot of thing but no discipline
That is we got from colonialism
All this was Babylon business

Going back to my roots
Born in Africa
'Cause I'm born in Africa
Born in Africa
Going back to my roots
Born in Africa
'Cause I'm born in Africa
Born in Africa

White man never give up Africa
White man never give up the business
Why this division in Africa
Why this division in the system
It doesn't have no moral, no self-conscience
Some of them went to America
Some of them went to the Caribbean
Some of them died over Atlantic

Going back to my roots
Born in Africa
'Cause I'm born in Africa
Born in Africa
Going back to my roots
Born in Africa
'Cause I'm born in Africa
Born in Africa

'Cause I'm born in Africa
Born in Africa
Going back to my roots
Born in Africa
'Cause I'm born in Africa
Born in Africa

I'm true born African
