Lyrics

I'm not gonna give it up

I'm not goin'

I'm not gonna give it up

I'm not goin'

I will be fighting

I've got to be fighting

I will be fighting

Til Africa

And Africans are free

I said that I been up there

And I've seen poverty beyond compare

I know slave drivers just don't care

They just don't care

Africa's the richest place

But it has the poorest race

And to me it's just a disgrace

Just a disgrace

Africans don't wait too long

We gotta fight 'cause it's not wrong

Won't you join in and sing this song

Sing this song

To be poor it's a hurtful pain

Livin inna poverty it's a burning shame

Help yourself 'cause man you're not lame

You are not lame
