African ft. Kanala Lyrics

So long

So long

Africa

So long

Yeah

Whoever said we can't be free when we've come so far

I just wanna know

Whoever said we can't do better in all the scars

Whoever said we can't unite now wait a while

Whoever said that it's a crime now to be black

And I can never stand up and fight for my right

Fight for my right

I'm so black

And am so proud

I Raise my flag

And when we see the crowd

This is where we belong

In Africa

Yeah Africa

I'm so black

And am so proud

I Raise my flag

And when we see the crowd

This is where we belong

In Africa

Yeah Africa

Listen

What should be said I'm gonna say today

And Mama Africa don't you ever sit and play

I wish is for Africa to sing Hurray

Tomorrow may never come

So we gotta set the pace

I speak peace but I can't breath

My eyes are open but I can't see

The truth hurts but it's Killing me

So fight on mama Africa for Unity

I put my self on the line everyday

Remember the days when he said he had a dream

So one day the children can laugh smile

When the children grow they are gonna judge us

So we gotta make it work

Now or never

Sing my song with me

So how long can we sit down

And watch them come around and Take control

I just wanna know

And how long should they humiliate us

They be choking us I can't breath

I just wanna know

Sat on the fence for too long

Come on rise up Africa and be strong

Sat on the fence for too long

Come on rise up Africa and be strong

I'm so black

And am so proud

I Raise my flag

And when we see the crowd

This is where we belong

In Africa

Yeah Africa

Their those whose want Africa

To continue to wallow in poverty

To their continued betterment

The day we wake up to that reality

The safer we are

As a child I always envisioned a better future

But our leaders are greedy and hungry for power

No freedom of speech

Churches are sponsored heavy funded

Can't bite the hand that give them supplies

I'm not surprised by the silence

Violence increased on the streets

That had peace broken pieces

No food in the fridges

Home is now a dark place

Electricity been a problem

My people praying for Gods grace

Africa gone rise

We've been torment, beaten, bleeding

Sold up as slaves

But those chains hold us no more

I'm so black

And am so proud

I Raise my flag

And when we see the crowd

This is where we belong

In Africa

Yeah Africa

I'm so black

And am so proud

I Raise my flag

And when we see the crowd

This is where we belong

In Africa

Yeah Africa
