Africans Songtext

Africans Songtext

You keep pushing the blame on our colonial fathers
You say they came and they took all we had posessed
They have to take the abuse that they have caused
Our present state with intruding history
Use our goodness and nourishment in the name of missionary

Lied to us, blinded, they slaved us, misplaced us
Strengthened us, hardened us, then they replaced us
Now we got to learn from pain
Now it′s up to us to gain some recognition
If we stop blaming we could get a better condition
(Wake up, world)

Wake up, world
Wake up and stop sleeping
Wake up Africa
Wake up and stop blaming
Open your eyes
Stand up and rise
Road block, oh life penalty


Why do we want to remain where we started?
And how long do you want to stop yourselves from thinking?
We should learn from experience
That what we got here for is existence
But now we decide to use the same hatred
To suppress our own brothers

It's so comfortable to say racism is the cause (it′s not the cause)
But this time it sound the same body chasing and biting us
Knowledge and selfishness that they gave to us
This is what we use to abuse us

Wake up, world
Wake up and stop sleeping
Wake up Africa
Wake up and stop blaming
Open your eyes
Stand up and rise
Road block, oh life penalty

Those who have ears, let them hear
Brothers who aren't brainwashed, take to ruins and rest
Pick them up and stick them back together
This is the only way we can change this African weather

Lied to us, blind us, they slaved us, misplaced us
Strengthened us, hardened us then, they replaced us
Now we got to learn from pain


Wake up, world
Wake up and stop sleeping
Wake up Africa
Wake up and stop blaming
Open your eyes
Stand up and rise
Road block, road block, you've got to wake up

Wake up, world
Wake up and stop sleeping
Wake up Africa
Wake up and stop blaming
Open your eyes
Stand up and rise
Road block, road block
Life penalty
