They say Africa is a dark dark continent It’s true We produce one of the darkest crisp coffee They say we live in the bush It’s true We love the rose bush They say Africa is just one country That’s right The unity makes us one They say we love violence Absolutely We just can’t wait for the violins to lead the violent thumbing of the African drums They say Africa is an uncivilized continent That’s right Our civilization is above western imagination’s classification They say Africans live with monkeys That’s right We’re lovable by nature They say Africa is a filthy continent That’s right Thy continent is filled with the different races of all the world They say we were slaves That’s right We overcame slavery But they are still enslaved by their brains They say Africa is worthless Well it’s because they are milking our minerals So it’s true They say these and that We say we are who we are We are the Africa that some of the Europeans run to in order to escape their unjust countries We are the Africa that developed all the countries in the world We are the Africa that holds the highest wealth underground We are the Africa that every European country wants to get for themselves We are the Africa that gave birth to all the different continents We are who we are We love who we are

We Are Africa
They say Africa is a dark dark continent It’s true We produce one of the darkest crisp coffee They say we live in the bush It’s true We love the rose bush They say Africa is just one country That’s right The unity makes us one They say we love violence Absolutely We just can’t wait for the violins to lead the violent thumbing of the African drums They say Africa is an uncivilized continent That’s right Our civilization is above western imagination’s classification They say Africans live with monkeys That’s right We’re lovable by nature They say Africa is a filthy continent That’s right Thy continent is filled with the different races of all the world They say we were slaves That’s right We overcame slavery But they are still enslaved by their brains They say Africa is worthless Well it’s because they are milking our minerals So it’s true They say these and that We say we are who we are We are the Africa that some of the Europeans run to in order to escape their unjust countries We are the Africa that developed all the countries in the world We are the Africa that holds the highest wealth underground We are the Africa that every European country wants to get for themselves We are the Africa that gave birth to all the different continents We are who we are We love who we are
