Made in Afrika

Made in Afrika
Made in Afrika
When I was in her womb, I heard Fela Kuti
Minute I was born, ten marks they gave me
Served as a reminder to my tribal ancestry
Made with love, Afrikan love
In school, I kept my roots like Kunta Kinte
I told them, "Call me Olu" but them teachers called me Olé
"Oh-le-oh-le olé"
"Who's in a grass container?"
Yeah, they had their laughs til my father came to class
Made in Afrika, born in the UK
Made in Afrika, born in the UK
Made in Afrika, born in the UK
Made in Afrika, born in the UK
Made in Afrika, born in the UK
Made in Afrika, born in the UK
Made in Afrika, born in the UK
Made in Afrika, born in the UK
Made in Afrika
In the city, life expectancy is minimal
Made in Afrika
In the city, they have no beauty
Spoke to my grandma on the phone, I was ashamed
Because she couldn't understand a word I was saying
Lucky for me, my dad was there translating
Imagine what it could be in a few generations
Got to teach ourselves, we all got to teach our kids
Or they'll go home not knowing what the language is
I beg, make your pilgrimage to the distant relatives
I know where Peckham is, but I don't now where my grandma lives
Made in Afrika, born in the UK
Made in Afrika, born in the UK
Made in Afrika, born in the UK
Made in Afrika, born in the UK
Made in Afrika, born in the UK (Made in Africa)
Made in Afrika, born in the UK (Made in Africa)
Made in Afrika, born in the UK (Made in Africa)
Made in Afrika, born in the UK (Born in the UK)
