Africa
It happened 7 milion years ago
The history of the world began there
The animals began to walk
And starting from Kenya spread around the globe
But I know you're more powerful than what they think
They don't let you grow only because they fear
White men were superior only technologically
(Only technologically)
They took your big and strong people
Wanted mighty men to make them work
(Brought to work work)
Men stronger than them
(Strong men to work work)
Taken from their land and their families
To be protagonist of 400 years of slavery
This is reality
But I know you're more powerful than what they think
They don't let you grow only because they fear
White men were superior only technologically
(Only technologically)
Mama you are the cradle of mankind
And still fight for your rights
Humanity should thank you
For what you've always and only given
Your culture, your semplicity, your natural beauties
Make you the best of all places
That's why everyone want to come!
America was populated by your children
Who lived each day discrimination and problems
(Black skin they didn't like it and put dem in the ghetto)
But they showed immediately supremacy
Their culture, their music a big legacy
(Have changed story of music)
But I know you're more powerful than what they think
They don't let you grow only because they fear
White men were superior only technologically
(Only technologically)
Mama mama ma you are the cradle of mankind
And still fight for your rights
Humanity should thank you
For what you've always and only given
Your culture, your semplicity, your natural beauties
Make you the best of all places
That's why everyone want to come!
Mandela, Marthin Luter, Malcom X and Rosa Parks
They did fight for your honour
(Strugglin' for justice and uman rights)
They did fight so much (all for you!)
Marcus Garvey dreamed rempatriation
Jesse Owens cross the Ocean to win (to win)
To show african skill
But I know you're more powerful than what they think
They don't let you grow only because they fear
White men were superior only technologically
(Only technologically)
Mama mama ma you are the cradle of mankind
And still fight for your rights
Humanity should thank you
For what you've always and only given
Your culture, your semplicity, your natural beauties
Make you the best of all places
That's why everyone want to come!
