[INTRO VOICE 1]
|
Scholars and scientists now conceive that Africa is the first place of mankind
|
Africans were the first builders of civilization
|
They discovered mathematics, invented writing, developed sciences
|
Engineering, medicine, religion, fine arts, and built the Great Pyramids
|
An architectural achievement which still baffles modern scientists'
|
|

[Verse 1: Stephen Marley]
|
Educate yourselves, of Africa
|
To liberate yourself, Africa
|
Keep your heads up high
|
No more will we cry
|
Eeeeyh
|
|
Our history that they stole, Africa
|
Is written in our souls, Africa
|
Oldest nation on this earth
|
Know just what you worth
|
Well well
|
|
Ships that sail to distant places
|
Robbed us of our rising worlds
|
History says that you've betrayed us
|
Talking of the Gods you serve
|
Hear the rambling in the sky
|
Tears that our fore fathers cry
|
And today we're still in chains
|
Take the shackle from our minds
|
You're the corner stone
|
The king upon the throne
|
|
How beautiful are thou, Africa
|
Our nation have to bow, Africa
|
Don't you fall from grace
|
You're that secret place
|
Aye! Aye-ah-aye!
|
|
[Verse 2: Wale]
|
Power to the people, Motherland representa
|
I'm on trial with the man she my co-defendant
|
And I demand her attention, can you focus women?
|
I'm getting closer to the sky errytime I hit it
|
Haile Selassie I, "Power of the Trinity"
|
Soul made in naija, my voice made in Italy
|
White mans world that I'm livin' in, some say
|
But it was Africa the continent we all came from
|
Can't nothing come between me and you
|
So before I have seeds gotta understand my roots
|
Gotta understand the truth. We is all king's 'round here
|
Lifes not all fair, work till we fall dead
|
Paul goin' hard 'till I urn like a Pall-Bearer
|
Although my body's in the U.S my heart's there
|
I can never be ashamed of her, I got my features and my name from her
|
Mama Africa
|
|
[Verse 3: Stephen Marley]
|
The richest place on earth
|
Know just what your worth
|
|
[HARMONIZING WITH MUSIC]
|
Talking about the God you serve
|
[HARMONIZING WITH MUSIC]
|
|
Keep your heads up high
|
No more will we cry
|
|
They infiltrate our homes, Africa
|
They claim it as their own, Africa
|
Now we must stand tall
|
To break down all these wall-alls
|
Well well
|
|
Our children must be taught, of Africa
|
The science and the art, Africa
|
Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nahhh!
|
|
Educate yourself, Africa
|
To liberate yourselves, Africa
|
Keep your heads up high
|
No more will we cry
|
|
Beautiful are thou, Africa
|
A legend have to bow, Africa
|
Oh Oh!
