Proud to Be African
A song made by Frank Simbeye
Yeah, yeah, Africa to the world!
From the deserts to the oceans, we rise together, yebo!
I was born beneath the African sun, sharp sharp
Where the rivers flow and the children run
My roots are deep in the ancient ground
A thousand stories in every sound, eish
From east to west, from north to south
Wisdom and courage in every mouth
Our drums keep beating, our spirits strong
Africa's heartbeat carries us on, asambe!
I'm proud to be African
Proud of my black skin color, sho
Proud of my heritage
Proud of my motherland, let's go
Raise your hands and sing it loud
Stand together, make us proud
From generation to generation
Africa is our foundation, aweh!
My skin is gold, my skin is strong
A living history all along, yebo
No matter where this journey goes
The African spirit always shows
From Kilimanjaro touching the sky
To savannahs where eagles fly, eish
Our culture shines for all to see
A symbol of strength and unity
I'm proud to be African
Proud of my black skin color, sho
Proud of my heritage
Proud of my motherland, let's go
Raise your hands and sing it loud
Stand together, make us proud
From generation to generation
Africa is our foundation, aweh!
Africa to the world, black and proud
Forever African, yebo!
