Made In Africa (feat. Wale, The Cast of Fela)

Scholars and scientists now conceive

That Africa is the birthplace of mankind

Africans were the first builders of civilization

They discovered mathematics

Invented writing, developed sciences

Engineering, medicine, religion

Fine arts, and built the Great Pyramids

An architectural achievement

Which still baffles modern scientists

The 225th Emperor

Direct descent from Solomon, and the Queen of Sheba

He is the king of kings, he's called Lion of Judah

The name Haile Selassie

Means Power of the Trinity

Educate yourselves of Africa

To liberate yourself, Africa

Keep your heads up high

No more will we cry (cry)

Eh-eh, our history that they stole, Africa

It's written in our souls, Africa

Oldest nation on this Earth

Know just what you worth

Well, well

Ships that sail to distant places

Robbed us of our rising worlds

History says that you've betrayed us

Talking of the gods you serve

Hear the rambling in the sky

Tears that our forefathers cry

And today we're still in chains

Take the shackle from our minds

You're the cornerstone

The king upon the throne (oba lo-lo si ite oba)

How beautiful are thou, Africa

Our nation have to bow, Africa

Don't you fall from grace (ilẹ Africa rè wá púpò)

You're that secret place

Aye, aye-aye-aye

Power to the people, Motherland representer

I'm on trial with the man, she my co-defendant

And I demand her attention, can you focus, woman?

I'm getting closer to the sky, every time I hit it

Haile Selassie, Power of the Trinity

Soul made in Naija, my voice made in Italy

White man's world that I'm livin' in, some say

But it was Africa, the continent we all came from

Can't nothing come between me and you

So, before I have seeds, gotta understand my roots

Gotta understand the truth, we're all kings 'round here

Life's not all fair, work 'til we fall dead

Paul goin' hard 'til I horn like a Pall-Bearer

Although, my body's in the U.S., my heart's there

I can never be ashamed of her

I got my features and my name from her

Mama Africa

The richest place on Earth

Know just what you're worth

(Ori so e, ite oba)

Talking about the God you serve

Keep your heads up high

No more will we cry (ilẹ Africa rẹ' wá púpọ)

They infiltrate our homes, Africa

And claim it as their own, Africa

Now we must stand tall

To break down all these walls

Well, well

Our children must be taught of Africa

The science and the art of Africa

(Ilé Africa ní wọn tí ṣé)

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah

Educate yourselves, Africa

To liberate yourselves, Africa

Keep your heads up high (ilé Africa ní wọ́n tí ṣé)

No more will we cry

Beautiful are thou, Africa

A legend have to bow, Africa

(Ilé Africa ní wọ́n tí ṣé)
