Africa, mama Africa

Africa, mama Africa

[Verse 1]

The first human was born in Africa

He or she evolved from apes

The question is why in Africa

Our ancestors were different colors and shapes?

Hmm, I guess shapes were almost the same

Colors? one color, black

I don't have time to play a game

Our ancestors were Black

A long, long time ago, many apes left Africa

But they went extinct in the ice ages

Yes, except for Africa

Because Africa is a hot continent, Africans were sages

But now there are different colors of people

Black, brown, yellow, white

Why?

Hmm, that’s very simple

People live in hot climates, they have dark skins

People live in cold climates, they have light skins

[Verse 2]

Everybody thinks Africa is underdeveloped

Yes

Actually not

Africa was developed

What?

You know Egypt is in Africa

I know

Talkin' about Egypt, they have an ancient civilization

If you see their wall paintings, they have dark skins just like typical Africans, no question

How about Ethiopia?

Ethiopia also has an old civilization

This is very important in this conversation

Andromeda, in Greek mythology

She was an Ethiopian princess

Yes

Do you know, Moors of North Africa conquered Spain?

Europeans got pain

In West Africa, some of them thank the earth

Because, all foods come from mother earth

In generally, Africa is underdeveloped

But some countries are developed

From the past

Africa, mama Africa

[Bridge]

Some people used Africans as slave laborers, mainly Europeans

You know, we are all homo sapiens

They were so ignorant

We are not so different

Some people are still racist

They need to know the truth, you narcissist
