Born in Africa (Radio Version)

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

'Cause I'm a true born African

Say mi come from Nigeria, the land of oil

The land of diamond, gold and sugarcane

We plant cassava and sweet potatoes

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

South Africa, Egypt

Libia, Algeria

Zimbabwe, Mozambique

Angola, Rwanda

Nigeria, Morocco

Tunisia and Ghana

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

A true born African
