African Race

We are the slave descendants from the African race

The African race, the African race

We are the slave descendants from the African race

We're proud it's no disgrace

Our forefathers were taken away

Taken away, taken away

They were bound in ships and shackled all the way

Like baggage and brought to the west

They swapped my brother now

Also my sister too

For a drink of wine

So they could drink and be merry

So they could drink and be merry

I speak Amharic, my sister speaks Swahili

They put us both together now

That's why we can't understand

That's why we can't understand

We are the slave descendants from the African race

The African race, the African race

We are the slave descendants from the African race

We're proud it's no disgrace

We're proud of our African race

We're proud it's no disgrace

We're proud it's no disgrace

We're proud of our African race

We're proud it's no disgrace

We're proud it's no disgrace

We're proud of our African race

We're proud it's no disgrace
