Made in Africa Songtext
von Stephen Marley

Scholars and scientists now conceive
That Africa is the birth place 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


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

How beautiful are thou, Africa
Our nation have to bow, Africa
Don′t you fall from grace (ile Africa re wa pupo)
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 women?
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 king's ′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 your worth
Ori so e, ite oba

Talking about the God you serve

Keep your heads up high
No more will we cry (ile Africa re wa pupo)

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 (ile Africa ni won ti se)
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Educate yourselves, Africa
To liberate yourselves, Africa
Keep your heads up high (ile Africa ni won ti se)
No more will we cry
Beautiful are thou, Africa
A legend have to bow, Africa (ile Africa ni won ti se)

Made in Africa (Ise Africa)
Made in Africa (Ise Africa)
Made in Africa (Ise Africa)
Made in Africa (Ise Africa)
Made in Africa (Ise Africa)
Made in Africa (Ise Africa)
Made in Africa (Ise Africa)
