Made in Africa Songtext
Scholars and scientists now conceive
That Africa is the birthplace of mankind
Africans were the first builders of civilization
They discovered mathematics
Invented writing, developed sciences
Engineering, medicine, religion
Fine arts, and built the Great Pyramids
An architectural achievement
Which still baffles modern scientists
The 225th Emperor
Direct descent from Solomon, and the Queen of Sheba
He is the king of kings, he′s called Lion of Judah
The name Haile Selassie
Means Power of the Trinity
Educate yourselves of Africa
To liberate yourself, Africa
Keep your heads up high
No more will we cry (cry)
Eh-eh, our history that they stole, Africa
It's written in our souls, Africa
Oldest nation on this Earth
Know just what you worth
Well, well
Ships that sail to distant places
Robbed us of our rising worlds
History says that you′ve betrayed us
Talking of the gods you serve
Hear the rambling in the sky
Tears that our forefathers cry
And today we're still in chains
Take the shackle from our minds
You're the cornerstone
The king upon the throne (oba lo-lo si ite oba)
How beautiful are thou, Africa
Our nation have to bow, Africa
Don′t you fall from grace (ilẹ Africa rè wá púpò)
You′re that secret place
Aye, aye-aye-aye
Power to the people, Motherland representer
I'm on trial with the man, she my co-defendant
And I demand her attention, can you focus, woman?
I′m getting closer to the sky, every time I hit it
Haile Selassie, Power of the Trinity
Soul made in Naija, my voice made in Italy
White man's world that I′m livin' in, some say
But it was Africa, the continent we all came from
Can′t nothing come between me and you
So, before I have seeds, gotta understand my roots
Gotta understand the truth, we're all kings 'round here
Life′s not all fair, work ′til we fall dead
Paul goin' hard ′til I horn like a Pall-Bearer
Although, my body's in the U.S., my heart′s there
I can never be ashamed of her
I got my features and my name from her
Mama Africa
The richest place on Earth
Know just what you're worth
(Ori so e, ite oba)
Talking about the God you serve
Keep your heads up high
No more will we cry (ilẹ Africa rẹ′ wá púpọ)
They infiltrate our homes, Africa
And claim it as their own, Africa
Now we must stand tall
To break down all these walls
Well, well
Our children must be taught of Africa
The science and the art of Africa
(Ilé Africa ní wọn tí ṣé)
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Educate yourselves, Africa
To liberate yourselves, Africa
Keep your heads up high (ilé Africa ní wọ́n tí ṣé)
No more will we cry
Beautiful are thou, Africa
A legend have to bow, Africa
(Ilé Africa ní wọ́n tí ṣé)
Made in Africa (Ìṣe Africa) (Ìṣe Africa)
Made in Africa (Ìṣe Africa) (Ìṣe Africa)
Made in Africa (Ìṣe Africa)
Made in Africa (Ìṣe Africa)
Made in Africa (Ìṣe Africa) (Ìṣe Africa)
