Lyrics

Hmm, know ya
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm going, said I'm going
And I'm going, said I'm going
I'm going to tell the world about it
And I'm going to tell the world to shout it
Going back to Africa, 'cause I'm black
Going back to Africa, and it's a fact
If it's alright, gonna get there
If it's alright, gonna stay there
Nineteen ninety-nine, I got to get there
Got to get 'cause I'm going back to Africa, 'cause I'm black
Going back to Africa, and it's a fact
Hmm, hmm-hmm
I'm going, I'm leaving
I'm going, said that I'm going
And I'm going, said I'm going
I'm going to tell the world about it
And I'm going to tell the world to shout it
Going back to Africa, 'cause I'm black
Going back to Africa, and it's a fact
If it's alright, I'm gonna stay there
If it's alright, I was gonna live there
If it's alright, I won't stop
Going back to Africa, 'cause I'm black
Going back to Africa, and it's a fact
