[Verse 1]
African problems
Too much to talk about (African problems)
Too much to think about (African problems)
Too much to sing about (African problems)
Too much to shout about
[Verse 2]
But I must talk am
I go dey sing am
I go they shout am
Make dem dey hear am
I go they sing am
I go dey talk am
I must to shout am
Make dem dey hear am, ah
[Verse 3]
I must try to teach the people new mentality
Make dem appreciate Africa's superiority
Make dem know say no be so things supposed to be
Na leaders dey put us for this mediocrity
Take away our peace and liberty
Leave us to live in endless pain and poverty
We no understand this their government policy
We dey sell us into second slavery
[Verse 4]
Make you help me ask them brotha
Why we not getting food or job?
Make you help me ask them sista
Why we no get houses to stay?
Salute my brothas where dey die
Die for the future of Africa
Salute my brothas where dey fight
Fight for the future of Africa
[Verse 5]
Unless we start to (Thinky, thinky)
Think of tomorrow (Thinky, thinky)
Fight for the future (Fighty, fighty)
Fight for tomorrow (Fighty, fighty)
Them won't sell us away (Thinky, thinky, thinky, thinky, fighty, fighty)
(Fighty, fighty) (Eh, eh) Them won't sell us away (Thinky, thinky, thinky, thinky)
(Fighty, fighty, fighty, fighty) Ah
[Verse 6]
I must try to teach the people new mentality
Make dem appreciate Africa's superiority
Make dem know say no be so things supposed to be
Na leaders dey put us for this mediocrity
Take away our peace and liberty
Leave us to live in endless pain and poverty
We no understand this their government policy
We dey sell us into second slavery
