Afrika Lyrics by ELI

2023

Verse 1
Hailing from the birth place of many men
And being born here was not a coincidence
I'm baby Jesus in a cradle, delivering the message, ain't no place where I'd rather been
The pyramids in Sahara sands
Kilimanjaro where the eagles land
The very vast Serengeti
So much peace till we encountered the evil man (damn)
They really hated our melanin
Gave us the bible and took the motherland
Mfecane they were scrambling, raped our mothers and then enslaved our brethrens
The blood shed in somali, they shot dead Muh Gadaffi
So fuck peace, parabellum
Modern day Bambatha leading the rebellion

Chorus
Selelo –lelo utwa Selelo
Selelo sa Aforika (Oh Africa)
Selelo –lelo utwa Selelo
Selelo sa Aforika (Oh Africa)

Verse 2
Feel like I woke up in New Zimbabwe
Gaborone looking like new Harare
The Diamonds in our land that’s power
I just hope that my president' don't become new Mugabe
Finna migrate, and cross to Namibia
Footprints in the sand up in Zambia
Maybe plant a couple seeds in Ethiopia
Ghana feels like home, they ain't show it in media
Its Beautiful how Rwanda got the hi-tec
Showing us its possible to fight back
But, freedom is an illusion
We're trapped in our minds we fighting a mental combat
The birth of an evil, colonialism
Inception of a maze they're now calling a system
Scratch peace, parabellum
Democracy's a facade , time to switch it up

Chorus
Selelo –lelo utwa Selelo
Selelo sa Aforika (Oh Africa)
Selelo –lelo utwa Selelo
Selelo sa Aforika (Oh Africa)
Selelo –lelo utwa Selelo
Selelo sa Aforika (Oh Africa)
