A song made by johnakande99
Mama Africa dey cry oh
E don tey wey we dey feel am
Listen...
Dem come with Bible for hand, smile for face
Talk say dem wan show us better place
But the same hand wey hold the book of peace
Carry gun, carry chain, our freedom cease
Gold and diamond wey dey our soil
Our ancestors blood, sweat and toil
Dem call am civilization, progress and light
But wetin we see? Wahala and fight
Africa dey bleed, nobody dey hear our cry
Dem take our treasure, tell us lie upon lie
In the name of progress, dem break our soul
But we still dey stand, we never go fold
Africa dey bleed, but we go rise again
From the ashes and the pain, we go reign
See our kingdoms wey strong like iroko tree
Benin, Mali, Zimbabwe - we be somebody
Dem divide us with border, pit brother against brother
Steal our language, make us fight each other
Omo, the scars wey dem leave for our land
Generations still dey try understand
How the people wey preach love and God
Turn round use whip, turn us to servant, to rod
Africa dey bleed, nobody dey hear our cry
Dem take our treasure, tell us lie upon lie
In the name of progress, dem break our soul
But we still dey stand, we never go fold
Africa dey bleed, but we go rise again
From the ashes and the pain, we go reign
But hear me now, our spirit never die
We be children of the sun, we reach for the sky
Every tear wey we cry, water the seed
One day Afrika go bloom, one day we go lead
Chukwu dey see everything, justice go come
The descendants of kings, our time go run
Mama Africa, we hear you
Your children dey rise
We never go forget
We dey remember...
