Verse 2
I see you Madagascar
they left the bad scars
upon the face of my people
them greedy bastards
Africa’s not a country
it’s a continent
and once it comes together
there’s no stopping it
53 countries and 53 reasons
all we need is 53 presidents who believe in
the unification
of the next generation
I rap about it, I live it
it’s no imitation
beautiful weather beautiful women beautiful land
never again will it ever be stolen out of our hands
the diamond necklaces you sing about
bring ’em out
what the hell are you talking ’bout
imma rap it till the death of me
this is part of my destiny
Mama Africa that’s my home
my mama missin me
I fight for my mother
yeah I’ll kill for my mother
cause she the only one that love me like no other
Chorus
So much love to share
pure blackness oneness so rare
so much love to care
let them know they missin out
Mama Africa
so much love to share
sweet blackness oneness meet me there
so much love to care
let them know they missin out
sing again
Verse 3
kuna waschana wazuri
we got the beautiful women
tunaishi vizuri
check out the way we be livin
na tunakula vizuri

poteza yako kwa nini
why should you settle for less
TV haiwezi kuambia
they never show on your screen
kwa hivyo mi ntawaambia
so you can see what I mean
Africa maridadi
Africa’s beautiful baby
nasi tunapenda raha
come see how we love to party

sweet blackness oneness meet me there
