[Chorus]
Se tiwa nio mio fe
Se tiwa nio mio ra
Se tiwa nio mio se
Se tiwa nio mio [?]
Se tiwa nio mio se
Tani ma ba wa je
Tani ma ba wa se
Kila se ma lowo l'Africa
Afi ti aba ra ti wa o e
Afi ti aba se ti wa o
Afi ti aba ra ti wa o e
Afi ti aba se ti wa o
Se tiwa nio mio fe
Se tiwa nio mio ra
Se tiwa nio mio se
Tani ma ba wa je
Tani ma ba wa se
Se tiwa nio mio fe
Se tiwa nio mio ra
[Verse]
Na so, na so African man dey talk
Him go see him own thing if he make for your own contry
He ain't [?] for you own country
Him go say him no want, he no good
Him go work hard de other countries
Outside Africa na him want
Na you ain't good for you own
He be fool! Big fool!
Because unless we buy our own thing
Unless we do our own thing
We no go make money
To be like other countries outside Africa
That is why we have to do our own things
[?] our own things
So we can be rich like other countries outside Africa
Because African man no want him own
I ask him a question in my own language
I ask him a question in my own mother tongue
I say:
Tani ma ba wa se
Tani ma ba wa je
Kila se ma lowo l'Africa
Kila se ma lowo l'Africa
Afi ta ba ra tiwa o
Afi ta ba se tiwa o
Ko'gbon o, iya mi ko'gbon o
Ko'gbon o, baba mi ko'gbon o
Egbon mi o, ko'gbon o
Buy Africa!
